I enjoy using this watch. The size of the watch fits perfectly with my slender wrists, the watch face and straps aren't thick/ wide, the best yet compared to samsung, garmen and pixel watches. The leather strap feels nice and doesnt leave me sweating like the other watches, it's so comfortable I even wear it to sleep . I plan on getting some of the other straps too. Although it doesn't have as muc myer.com.au

This has been an excellent purchase - smart-looking, whilst quietly and unobtrusively recording all my data at the same time. I didn't want a watch that was going to be flashing and grabbing my attention all the time, but I do like to know how I'm progressing towards my fitness goals. This does everything and looks good at the same time. Battery life is great, lasting many days but also changing v JamesO · argos.co.uk
