Never going back to Apple
Works very good. Very durable and accurate with its readings. It fits very comfortably on your wrist and doesn’t pinch your skin. I switched from an Apple Watch and it is more lightweight, lasts about a week/week and a half before you have to charge it again, and shows accurate readings!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new watch and are wanting to track your health.

Best Fitness Tracker
This watch holds a charge for many days, has a great GPS, dozens of activity trackers, and great for music, countdown timer, stopwatch, and multiple alarms. Even has a keyboard to answer text messages which easily come in from a connection with your phone. I have had this watch for over 10 years in its multiple versions and it's never failed me!!
