Don't waste your money

I've had this watch for over a month now and I really wanted to like it because I love the design and the many features. I never write product reviews but I am very disappointed with the heart rate monitor on this watch. I bought the watch primarily to track workouts and update my old Fitbit, but it's essentially useless as it's often off by 60+ bpm for my heart rate and telling me to "relax" when my heart rate really is 160. Because of this, counting calories is also wildly inaccurate. I've tried adjusting the fit of the watch as well as how it fits on my wrist and none of this has made it more accurate. The sleep tracking is also inaccurate - it doesn't track daytime naps like it claims, and there will be times when I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and that won't register as 'awake' . at all. And I couldn't send any phone notifications other than calls to the watch. I've spent hours on the internet troubleshooting and can't find the reason why it's not working. I would send it back but I've already trimmed the ribbon because it's very long. The app itself is pretty decent and the watch face options are great, but overall I wish I'd just spent a little more money and bought a newer version of Fitbit or an older version of the Apple Watch.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Fading
