    It's a great watch. Gave me warnings when I was tachycardic. It was just a little too fancy for my likings. Too many bells and whistles for me. The battery life could be better. And for someone with a very small wrist, the band was very pinchy. I ended up returning it.

    I've had it for almost 4 weeks and so far it is amazing and does everything I've needed it to do. For me there is absolutely nothing wrong with this product and I couldn't be happier with what I bought.

    I actually ended up switching from apple watch to this because of two weeks battery life and data apple wasn’t giving me. Being able to track sleep, stress levels, HRV. Love it. Just don’t love the watch band.

    I enjoy my new watch and has so many things to do with it that I have not yet been able to try them out. It keeps track of all my important info for example sleep, steps, stress, and even how my body recharged while sleeping somewhat like a phone charges while we sleep. So far, I like it but if your looking for a smartwatch that looks nice when going out then this is not for you. I use mine when I work or workout and change watches when I go out on the town.
