    It did not come with a manual, and as complex as it is it needs one. I know it is on line, but that requires more work for me, plus I now need my PC to be able to use-learn all the features. It's nice to have a written manual to refer to with out going to a computer. I wasn't aware to use al the features I need to buy apps, it would have nice to be told that up front.

    This is advertised at 28 days of battery life in regular smartwatch mode, or unlimited if you get lots of sunlight, but you won’t get anywhere near that. I didn’t do any gps activities, got decent sunlight exposure, downloaded the latest software update, and I only got 11 days. Thats a huge disappointment. Other than that, its a solid, rugged watch. But I returned it, because battery life was my main reason for purchasing this to begin with. If you dont mind charging it that often, i’d recommend it, but if that matters to you, skip this one. The 50mm model probably does better than this, but I doubt it’ll be significantly better, and it’s much bulkier than this 45mm.
