I got my watch back in November and it's been trucking along amazingly since then. I have the most wicked tan line because the only time I'm not wearing it is the 45 minutes it takes to charge to full each night. My step count has increased, I can keep my cardio in the zone I want easily because the watch gives me a constant view of my HR, the ecg is a great feature to check my hubby's heart, and the widgets and watch faces are so customizable and useful. Love having the weather, reminders, timers, my rings, etc. all in one place. My only complaint is that the speaker/ microphone suck for phone calls. At least it works well enough for me to answer a call on my watch and say, hold on a second I have to grab my phone from downstairs. Speaking of which, getting an alert on my watch when I walk away from my phone is amazing for forgetful people like me!

Terrible as a Sports Watch

Mattia

4 / 10

It's marketed as a smart watch that could replace a sports watch, but that's far from the truth. The workout app is almost useless, it fails to provide a continuous heart rate monitoring during workouts, and the data it provides about your workouts is minimal. In swim mode, it incorrectly counts the meters and laps, and it's not compatible with TIM business e-SIM. Considering its price, they could provide it with better features. NOT SUITABLE FOR TRAINING PURPOSES. Garmin and Polar are undoubtedly irreplaceable as sports watches.

Pros

    Cons

    • Many poorly useful features
    • Poor in workout functionalities
    • Miscalculates laps and meters in swimming mode
    • Not suitable for TIM business e-SIM
