Review on 🌟 Stay Connected & Stylish with Kate Spade New York Women's Scallop 2 or Sport Stainless Steel Touchscreen Smartwatch: Heart Rate, GPS, Pay & Notifications by Paula Stewart

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's really just beautiful

After reading the reviews and comparing the original Scallop to this second-gen Scallop, it was clear that the second-gen promised to offer the Apple Watch feature. with a smoother and more fashionable look. When I received my watch it was definitely the style promised. I ordered a black two-tone watch with a black strap and it offered a lot of versatility, especially with customizable watch faces and colors. However, as I continue to use the watch, I find that it is not as functional as I had hoped. The Scallop 2 and almost all non-Apple watches use the Wear OS by Google platform. Aside from the fact that this platform isn't user-friendly, offers a limited set of apps that suck a watch's battery life, and if you can overlook crashes and connection issues between your phone and watch, the Wear OS platform will do with the best with bad service. Another issue with the watch is battery life. According to reviews, the watch should hold a charge for at least 12 hours, while some reviewers claim the watch can hold a charge from 7am to 11pm with a 15% battery life. Of course, this is the case when you keep the watch in Do Not Disturb and Airplane modes, the brightness of the face is minimal, and the face has almost no animation. Didn't I mention you're not allowed to use apps? And maybe then your battery life will last as long as the reviews claim. Why am I keeping this watch? Because I like how it looks. With the amount of research I did to find the flaw in each statement please learn from my mistake and avoid this purchase if you don't like pretty things as that is essentially what it is.
