Battery life:Easily lasts 6 days for me (AOD off, raist wrist to wake on, HR continuous monitoring on) Design:Simple and elegant Excellent value for the price. Not interested in full-featured smartwatches so this is right for me. Bought this mainly for heart rate monitoring during exercise, and it works great (there is a YouTube video of a scientist checking its accuracy and it's good). I found th shopee.ph

Purchased this watch for a trip into the Tetons for the solar and *INCLUDED* topo maps. Spent a week hiking/fishing/backpacking in the Tetons in late June and the watch was great! Maps/routes were accurate and the battery was amazing. After a 10 hour hike with GPS/Maps the battery fell to 92%. Only had to charge it once on a 9 day trip with constant outdoor activity. Love it.
