Nice watch with GPS and iPhone sync

It all depends on what you want from a smartwatch. I wanted something nice to wear to work and didn't care for the Apple Watch/Fitbit look. I also wanted a GPS to track my runs but didn't want to spend $400. This watch is perfect for what I wanted! Pros: IT'S BEAUTIFUL! The screen is crystal clear and the dials look very expensive. I love that it has GPS and you can download a lot of apps for whatever you want. I downloaded Pandora (which can be played through the speaker!) and the built-in workout app. It also syncs perfectly with my iPhone. Cons: The Google Fit app doesn't sync with the iPhone, so you can only view your stats on your watch. It wasn't the end of the world for me as I just want to know my daily steps and track my runs from my wrist and not my phone in my pocket or on my arm. I also don't need all the data on my phone as I'm not very good at it. Things to look out for: Some reviews complain about the battery life. I've had mine for 2 days now and have played with all the settings since it's new and still has at least 60% battery left at the end of each day. I wouldn't sleep in this watch as it's so big that charging overnight isn't really that important to me. The price of this watch is such a bargain! I paid $200 and I feel like they are worth more with GPS and quality looks. I love this watch and have received so many compliments. Defiantly recommended if you're looking for something high-end with activity tracking!
