Good, beautiful watch, but there are also flaws

I really like the look of this watch so I was initially interested. In terms of features, there are both good and bad aspects compared to my old Fitbit. On a good note, I like the dials a lot more. In general there are a lot more settings available and I like that I can choose what suits me. As for the bad, I'm pretty tech savvy, but it took me a while to figure out how to check my notifications. Also, the application often freezes. Battery life seems pretty similar between the two. Maybe Garmin has a little less since the dial is always illuminated, but I like that part. Update: I wasn't sure if it was just a one-time bug, but since I've had the watch I've had to update my widgets once. every few weeks - if not more often. Somehow the widgets change order or get removed. This is very annoying and I have to go back to the app to edit it. I don't like the scroll function on the side of the watch. It is caused by my skin or clothes and then ruins everything in the app. Sometimes the watch face changes and then if I want my old watch face back I have to reinstall it which shouldn't be necessary. I also use the alarm function and I like it very much, but the button should not switch off the alarm clock. The button is easier to press than looking at the screen to press Retry or Cancel, so the button really should be a retry signal. You want the cancel button as an alarm clock to be heavier than the snooze function so people actually wake up. That's why the redo button is big on the iPhone and the undo button is small.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • The list will be long.
