Expectations were not met, average quality.

Devices are pleased with uninterrupted operation, fast response and the fact that time shows constantly and keeps the battery for a long time. It is airtight, at least I take a shower and a bath without removing it.
Sometimes with a delay of 20-30 seconds it transmits information from the phone (however, here I sin on the phone itself - it slows down itself). I became friends with the player for a few days and then stopped seeing him. Shows all notifications from the phone (the list of programs from which the watch can receive notifications can be configured in the application).
On the hand, they are still quite massive.
Steps, in my opinion, counts correctly, there is nothing to compare the accuracy of measuring the pulse with.
Considering the cost and the limitations mentioned above, I would another time prefer to be content with a fitness bracelet with a similar set of functions. Having a GPS does not make the weather.

Pros

- Long battery life. Really keep 7-8 days with constant wear, pairing with the phone and periodic training; - There were no brakes in the work (sometimes they get stupid when paired with the phone, more on that below); - cool phone app and web interface on the site.

Cons

Unfortunately, a bunch of, in my opinion, minor flaws that significantly spoil the impression: - There is no simple stopwatch (for a minute, the device is called "clock"), you can not see the calendar; - While running, there are notifications about distance, time, heart rate, but for some reason you can’t set up a speed / pace notification, you have to often look at the screen, which is distracting; - since the device has GPS, it is not clear why it is not possible to display the coordinates and the current altitude on the screen (or through the application) (the phone does not have GPS, coordinates are sometimes needed by type of activity); - They do not want to be charged from chargers or batteries, only from a computer. A significant disadvantage "in the fields" when there is no computer at hand; - For each type of training, it saves only one configured profile (for example, it is possible to configure interval training, but only one for each type, for example, "running indoors" and "running outdoors"). I don’t run indoors, but different modes of running and other outdoor workouts would come in handy. and so on
