    I am a little disappointed. It doesn't do all that the salesman represented to me that it would do. The band was a lot too small.

    In the second week of using it, the screen went black. After browsing a bit, I saw that it was normal — you just have to restart it. Despite this, it’s an excellent watch for the price.

    So far I love it! It tracks my steps more accurately than an Apple Watch and gives me insights on my sleep and stress levels. I love it

    Great product, amazing apps. However, cannot support Spotify on this particular model. That’s the only downfall.
