Beautiful watch, terrible battery life

Let me start by saying this watch is beautiful! It's really adorable! If you're looking for minimal smart features and, most importantly, style, this is the watch for you. I love that you can use a profile picture as a face and that the watch meets basic technical requirements. You can receive emails and text messages and see who is calling, which is very convenient. You can reply to emails and text messages, but you can't reply or speak on the watch itself. I also noticed that you can't just initiate a text or email send. However, you can easily reply to what has been sent to you. My experience was that the touchscreen suddenly stopped working. Nothing happened, he just stopped for about a day. It came back suddenly and that was fine, but I noticed that the alerts were very delayed. I got a notification on my tablet, then on my phone and after a while on my watch. I got into these things because I really like the look of this watch. My decision to go back was largely based on very, VERY poor battery life. I would fully charge the watch, wear it for several hours and it would only come back to tell the time due to low battery. This really defeats the purpose of paying money for wearables only to end up having them for 5-6 hours. There are watches that last longer than 48 hours, so a few hours just isn't worth the cost to me. If you don't want to wear it all day or maybe just to workout, that's fine. If you need all-day functionality, spend another $50 on a Samsung or similar.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
