I love love love this watch!

Some of the reviews scared me but I decided to submit them all anyway. Я получил белый и золотой, и это I keep getting compliments, I've had them for 4 months now and the group is still white! I bought glass screen protectors which are essential if you don't want to scratch your new watch (you can see in my photo I scratched the one I have). The watch's GPS typically loads in less than a minute and seems fairly accurate, but when I run a route (of which I know the exact distance) things get a bit different. Although that's to be expected and it's definitely a lot more accurate than my phone. My friend has an Apple Watch and even after 6 miles there can only be a 0.3 difference (which I don't think matters much, I prefer running for time to distance anyway, and the watch helps me see my efforts ). even). Another great thing is that you can choose all of your displays. What they look like, what order they are in, and which ones you want there or not. And you can rotate it in any direction for right and left hand. They don't turn off like the Apple Watch, so the seconds don't disappear when you try to stand on the board or count your heart rate or something (I'm a nursing student and this is useful for taking vital signs). You can also connect your account to "My Fitness Buddy" or "Stava" or whatever else you want to use. I train a lot so my battery dies in about 3 days but I think it can last about 5 without recording. However, it charges very quickly, so sometimes I'll just let it charge while I'm showering, cooking dinner, or whatever. It's waterproof and I wear it all the time when I swim! And you can read (but not reply) full emails/texts on it. It takes some time to understand how everything works, but then it's easy to use! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND buying it over spending $500 on a new one because it works great.
