No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

Initially, I wanted an entry-level sports watch (like Garmin 735), but the prices for them in 2022 are high, and after the 2022 Post lost my package from a foreign online store, I bought these on pre-order.

In general, despite their positioning, this is not a sports watch. This smart watch is waterproof. But the protection is well done -
no questions. Before that, I used the usual Gear Fit (the very first). Compared to them, the heart rate monitor has become noticeably more accurate, the pedometer has not changed.

For swimming I use Speedo On - the distance and Swolf calculates more or less - but there is no synchronization with either Endomondo or SHelth. But paid for advanced features (I haven’t bought a subscription yet).

I would recommend them if you need a smart watch with beautiful dials and water protection. But if fitness functionality is for you, then it’s better to look at something more specialized.

Pros

1. Finally, real water protection. 2. There is a paypass (I use it - it's quite convenient). 3. Large, colorful screen. 4. There is a keyboard for SMS and voice recognition for taking notes. 5. Wireless charging. 6. Well integrated with SHealth.

Cons

1. No pairing with a chest heart rate monitor (still) 2. The native application does not calculate swimming well (he lies a lot in terms of distance). 3. Of the applications available, basically all sorts of whistles and flutes in the form of weather dials or a bunch of sensors like in the cockpit. There are few really useful ones. Especially in comparison with the same Apple watch. 4. Native strap causes severe irritation on the skin. 5. The bezel is loose, but it doesn't annoy me.
