    This is a very nice and reliable smartwatch for the money. I previously had a Garmin watch that was triple the price of this one and this one actually does more than the expensive flagship Garmin watch that I had. Definitely a good buy and I would recommend this watch to anyone.

    A excellent start watch. I don't like to be tied to either samsung or apple. I was impressed with how many features this watch had. If you are coming from a brand loyal watch then you will most likely see a different slight change but I would recommend this watch.

    Yes this is less expensive than the gen 5 but it comes with to many trade off's. Without the ambient light sensor it's impossible to see the display outdoors and on top of that you need to turn up the brightness so the battery dies before the day is done.

    It's very comfortable to wear all day as well as at night (sleep tracking). Also, not a huge fan of big dial watches hence opted for 5e over Gen 5.

    Purchased for a friend that doesn’t have smart watch and has android phone. Easily paired, just say the only complaint is the light doesn’t stay on all the time
