What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Striking pebble-inspired design with curved glass that hides bezels effectively when using dark watch faces
- Battery lasts a full day with always-on display enabled and charges quickly in 30-45 minutes
- Accurate fitness and heart rate tracking with useful Fitbit integration for sleep analysis and workout data
Reviewers push back
- Media controls fail to adapt for podcasts—skip forward and back buttons do not appear automatically
- Companion apps for YouTube Music and Pocket Casts do not sync with phone playback, unlike watchOS equivalents
- Many useful Fitbit features including sleep score details and daily readiness are locked behind a paid subscription
A beautifully designed smartwatch with solid fitness tracking and improved battery life, but hampered by software quirks, limited media controls, and premium features locked behind a subscription.
One reviewer finds the round shape fundamentally worse for displaying non-time information, while others appreciate the aesthetic
