Budget watch with branded features!

This watch is awesome! I've tried several different budget smartwatches in the past but haven't found them useful. They were bulky or uncomfortable and I ended up going back. Given the opportunity to upgrade my phone, I figured it was time to give the smartwatch another try, and I'm glad I did. First, I'm all for functional watches. I have had a beautiful and incredibly reliable 'dumb' Fossil watch for over 4 years and it was my idea. I wear it 24/7 except in the shower. It's hard to think of leaving it in my desk drawer while wearing another watch, but if I'm going to make that choice then this is the watch for it! This. One thing I wanted was the ability to read messages and take calls (I don't really NEED that, but all the cool people from fruit brands do that with their fancy watches, so I think I want that too). There aren't many budget watches that offer these features. Apart from that, it also has the typical health features like heart rate and pedometer, but that's not all! It checks your blood pressure, monitors your sleeping habits, and even tracks your periods for all ladies. Some have complained about the watch faces - but honestly it has about 20 different options (on the app) and if you are, you have the option to upload your own picture. I've been playing around with a few watch faces but for now I'm using a quote I found and I have the watch face for the time, battery and date. It has a camera feature that allows you to take a picture of the watch. I think if you like taking photos for a while - maybe with family or someone else - you can put your phone where you want and then instead of running to take a picture, just go to the camera on the watch and click take a picture. Boom - a picture on the phone :) It has a touch screen. This is the only place I have complaints. I can move my wrist and the time appears, but I can't tap the screen to see the time. I have to press a button on the side or move my wrist. This isn't a huge issue though, I think I'd love to be able to touch screen for it, especially since you can touch screen for everything else. Another small note - I haven't figured out how to use the music feature, but it's there - you swipe up on the screen and the music player will appear. With that in mind, I wish this flip up was for news. Instead, I have to go to settings by pressing the side button, scroll through settings, and find notifications to view messages. First world problems - I know. But if it's going to be a feature, I want it to be more convenient. As with all health features, swipe left or right to scroll through them - messages could easily be mixed in with them - maybe even messages and the phone keypad :) *Hint Note* Developers! Surprisingly it arrived exactly like the pictures but with a black stripe which I wasn't expecting. Also included was a low quality manual (not all), a charging cable and a card for a free gift if you fill in some paperwork. All in all, I'd say this is probably one of, if not the best, budget smartwatch out there. Quick setup - I was using it within minutes of getting it and it's someone with no real smartwatch experience. Here's the summary. Pros - Easy setup - Connecting to the device was a breeze - Pretty good, functional app - Features, functions and more features (make and take calls, listen to music, receive text messages, receive emails, monitor blood pressure, heart rate, steps, menstrual cycle, sleep patterns, etc. interchangeable wristband (some not) - touchscreen - rotate wrist for time - volume, brightness, mute or silence can be adjusted, turn on/off many other functions - price - battery life (i I've been wearing them for 4 days already ) and I'm only 1 bar away from a full charge! WOW! (That was another reason why I was hesitant to go from a "dumb" watch to a smart watch. I'm just not interested in it, daily or even having to charge every few days A week or more - I can do it! - You can personalize the watch face or choose one of the 20+ options in the app use. - Help with the camera May (You can use the clock as a remote button to take a picture with your phone) Cons: - Tap the screen for the time (no option) - Messages/phone should be viewed with side flaps, not in the hidden menu. I'm sure I didn't mix up all the features and didn't master any of them, but I'm definitely happy with my purchase. If you're on the fence, just get it. I think you won't regret it!
