In their words
“I wanted something basic with a long lasting battery and it delivered. How to plug it into my computer to charge, but it took about 15 minutes from the package to get to 100%. I paired it with my iPhone and it was super easy. I already worked out and it doesn’t bother me and it’s quiet and all the information is right there.”

“I bought this watch 2.5 years ago. The screen no longer responds to touch - but only in part. It has had continual issues with syncing to my phone over that time, as well as recharging the battery. Firmware upgrades resolved many problems but often introduced new problems. It has been a hassle and I can't recommend it. When it worked, it worked great.”
