    Has its flaws but still a great option for people who don’t want to charge their watch everyday and are leaning more towards a fitness watch than a smartwatch.

    Great alternative to the fancier and elaborate smart watches from Apple/Samsung. Nothing wrong with those at all; but if you’re looking for an incredibly gesture-filled “out-door” focused activity tracker with an incredible array of health and location tracking, this is an amazing watch! It’s simple, pretty easy to get accustomed to, and has a clean app to pair with.

    Fantastic watch! I was a bit concerned at first because it's not touch, but after using for a month it's wonderfully easy to use. It has plenty of modes for measuring your exercises, and it is significantly cheaper than other watches.

    I use it while hunting and it is phenomenal, the saved location feature is very nice when you’re not completely sure on how to get back. It also has so many diffrent Apps on it that I still havent got around to using. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone who hunts, hikes, or does anything outside really
