The heart rate readings are nonsense, even when cycling or working out at home. The app is remarkably poor and as basic as if it were intended for a $15 smartwatch, not one 10 times that price. There is no way to connect a chest strap to measure heart rate, so that Bluetooth 5.0 is really not needed (you won't be able to connect headphones either). You can't edit the heart rate zones, so if you're even amateurs but taking heart rate measurements 'for some reason', forget about this watch.

Relógio muito bonito para qualquer ocasião. Eu quase não tiro do braço. Ótimo acabamento. Pra deixa muito a desejar em 3 pontos: não responder as mensagens de app, não tem memória interna e para que o sono, estresse e energia do corpo sejam monitorados, é necessário que a o medidor de frequência cardíaca fique ligado permanente. O que gasta muita bateria. Pulseiras como a miband fazem a medição do sono automaticamente, por exemplo.
