The best smartwatch I've used in years (long review with tips)
I bought this to replace my Galaxy Watch 5 (and a pink one to replace my girlfriend's Galaxy Watch 4), because we had to charge our watches every 14 hours or so and they were getting more sluggish by the month. I always like to break electronics down on a simple pros & cons list, so let's have at it (in alphabetical order)._:PROS:_- Battery life is superb. I could definitely see getting 3 weeks out of a charge if I turned off all the extra features. As it stands, I typically get at least 10 days with sleep tracking and AOD (always-on-display) turned on, (both of which the watch warns you will reduce battery life). Charging from ~10% to 100 only takes about 2 hours as well on a normal 1A charger.--- Battery optimization options also are excellent, such as "smart AOD" (turns the screen off when the watch detects you're sleeping or when the watch isn't on your wrist at all). They can easily be found in Settings (gear icon)->Battery or Display.- Exercise tracking has become very accurate after only TWO treadmill walks. There is an option at the end of walking or treadmill workouts to calibrate the distance traveled.--- I did not realize this until AFTER my first treadmill walk, so I set my next distance walk to 2.2 mi, which is VERY close to 3.22 km.----- It was over by about 200 meters, so I adjusted it to 3.22 and then my 3rd treadmill walk was within 0.01 km of my actual distance traveled, according to the treadmill, so I was very impressed by that.- Notifications come through quickly from your default apps (messages, phone calls, email) as well as any other app that can send notifications to your phone, like games, security camera apps, etc.--- Although pictures will not be displayed (MMS messages), texts with emojis do work.--- You cannot answer calls from the watch, but you can mute or reject them as caller ID does pop up.--- There is an option in the settings to deactivate notifications while your phone screen is unlocked, which is nice so you're not getting them in two places at once.- Screen and overall user interface is very responsive - I was slightly uneasy about buying a watch with no buttons at all, but the screen feels incredibly reliable.--- Also, there are a TON of different displays to switch to, simple Analog & Digital ones, as well as ones with more information and customizable ones into which you can insert pictures. This all feels great.- Size & Design are very appealing - the screen does not feel too large even for my girlfriend - it is the perfect size.- Sleep tracking with heart rate monitoring & REM tracking also feels pretty accurate. There is also an option to monitor night-time breathing rate, but that consumes more battery so I have not checked that off yet._:CONS:_- Firstly, as it goes with many electronics and apps, it feels like you are signing your life and naming rights of your firstborn child away upon setup, but there is an easy-to-find option in the section "Profile->About this app" to "Revoke Authorization" if you change your mind on how much data is collected.- Alarm app only allows you to "snooze" one time, then the alarm will not go off again until the next day, so you may need to set multiple alarms if you sleep through your first one, like I often do.- I cannot find out how to change the distance units from the default km; you are able to change the weather units from C to F, but I have not yet found the option to toggle km to miles if it exists.- Hiking & Walking programs: I do not believe there is a difference between these at all; this is not so much of a complaint, but on my older GPS-tracking watches, both programs would track your route. In addition, Hiking would also include changes in altitude, which I very much liked. So color me slightly disappointed to find, at the end of my hike, hills had not been accounted for. Again, minor thing overall, but that would have been nice to be included in the workout summary._:NEUTRALS:_- In regards to the app, it is overall easy to use and find things.- One odd thing is that the "Workout" section only contains 5 icon at the top (Outdoor running, Walking, Outdoor cycling, Treadmill & Jump Rope), but there are a TON more on the actual watch for other activities (aerobic / weight-training / swimming / etc.), just as a FYI...- (not the company's fault) but aftermarket it definitely lighter for bands than other mainstream smartwatches - I've gotten a couple cool magnetic claps ones around the $10 - $15 mark that are well worth it though.OVERALL, for under a hundred bucks, this definitely feels like the best tracker out there in terms of functionality, battery life, and usefulness. I consider myself pretty critical and my caveats are not even impactful enough to remove a star. Also, my girlfriend still raves about hers as well, so she still loves it and hasn't mentioned any of her own cons to me (and I have asked...).

You can't go wrong with this.
I was surprised with how well this is working out. The online community for using these is impressive as well. I very much enjoy the features, I will definitely be going this route when I upgrade to another one down the road, for now it's going to be my everyday watch.

Cool watch terrible app
beautiful looking however, The app is tricky and tough to get set up with all of the permissions. The inability to switch to imperial is severely lacking. Returned

Good watch
Works pretty good for the price. Only annoyance is the inability to switch to imperial measurements for things like weight or weather. Otherwise does everything I need.
