    Great fitness watch at an affordable price point. GPS is quick and accurate, calories, steps and other tracking are great.

    Not very accurate

    I bought this watch to tell me how fast I am running. It does that more accurately than I can estimate it, so I am not returning it. But every other function on this watch is a joke. The heart rate ticks at 69-70 when my pulse is near 120. It gives me a chart history of calories burned when I wasn't even wearing the watch. It's definitely generating some numbers, and sending them to my phone, but those numbers don't correlate with anything I'm doing, except time and distance. Even the distance is off by about 2%, It gets confused if I'm on trail close to a road -- it thinks I'm on the road and uses the road distance rather than the trail distance. At least it shows the correct time and date.

    Bought for my husband and he did not like it. Too many options, too many buttons and screen wasn’t very bright.
