    Love the watch so far has everything i need in a watch and more than enough smart watch capabilities without being an extra phone on my wrist. Battery life is great and the screen is the perfect size with more than enough widgets that give me everything i need

    For the cost, it is a very worthwhile watch. The only downside, I think, is the black-and-white interface and the way it shows maps. Otherwise the battery life is amazing, as is the ability to charge with solar.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I'm with ROTC and been using it for a bit now, with all its features and stuff I'd say its very worth for someone that does a lot of pt and outdoors stuff. Came from a samsung watch though so its take some getting used to setting up to track activities. Else wise features are good. Hope it lasts a while

    If you are trying to decide between 45mm and 50mm, go with the 50mm. Solar charging is excellent, I barely have to take off watch let alone put on charge. Very good functions I actually like it is not touch screen.

    This watch is great, the only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the real life battery life is about half of the estimated 21 days. I knew it would be less but I was hoping for two weeks before needing charged. Otherwise it updated, functions, and tracks awesome.

    Love the long battery life (28 days), I like that it tracks all my health metrics, especially my sleep patterns. Love all the data at my finger tips like sunrise and sunset, steps, calories burned, compass, etc.
