    Worth Every Penny

    Bought this a year and half ago after waiting for a sale. Replaced a heart rate watch/strap combo that were inconvenient and inaccurate. Especially after being diagnosed with right bundle branch block affecting heartbeat. This watch gives much more reliable heart rate. Very pleased with the Pulse Ox, sleep tracking, steps, stairs, calorie tracking. Although sleep tracker counts time laying awake as light sleep. Battery life 15 + days if not using Pulse Ox nor GPS. Pulse Ox on, drops battery to about 8 days. Bought smaller 40 mm watch because of skinny wrists, and I have to have my bifocals on to read smaller text. With heart rate displayed in the upper right circle, can't quite make out those numbers without glasses either. Small text is minor inconvenience for a reliable watch with so much function and long battery life. No way I'll pay higher prices for competitor's 1-day battery life products!
