    It’s been well over a month since I’ve purchased this watch. I enjoy very much. I made the switch from a very outdated Apple Watch. As much as I loved my Apple Watch, I wanted something that looked and felt more rugged (I work in a warehouse). The watch was a little easy to set up, however, I do find myself having some issues when it came to notification settings. Just when I thought I got them all right, something didn’t work. But, it didn’t affect anything else about it. Another note I found in the comments was a rash. I took note of this feature and found that even in the directions, it recommended to clean the watch off with 70% proof alcohol or more. With that in mind, I take the time to wipe off the watch the best I can. I haven’t had any rash since. I also purchased a cap to protect the charging port of the watch. $5 bucks on Amazon for 10-15. The box didn’t include these. So for better secure and safety of the watch, highly recommend! Battery life is GREAT! Watch will last up to 2-3 weeks on one charge. Compared to my Apple Watch, only lasting until the end of the day. In the future I may look into an Apple Watch again, but I’m very much happy with the look, feel and function of the watch!

    I give this smart watch 5 stars because of the ruggedness and versatility. It isn’t some fragile pure glass screen that you have to worry about bumping and breaking. Waterproof technology and battery life are very decent. Lots of controls, alerts and messaging.

    Great basic smart watch with a very long lasting battery. Good for health tracking and sleep also. Almost like having a slimmer g shock style watch with smart features, haven’t had any durability issues.

    Perfect watch for the everyday construction worker or outdoorsman. Very durable and has many different widgets and watch faces to customize your watch the way you want. Battery life is awesome I only charge mine once every two weeks.

    I bought this unit to replace my Charge 3 when the display started to develop gaps and the clamps for the band failed. While the Garmin smart watch is clearly more capable with many features not available on the Fit Bit. The Garmin watch display being more complicated is less intuitive but more easily read. The display on the Garmin uses four buttons reminiscent of the traditional digital watch, while the charge has a single button and touch screen. The Garmin Android software interface is not as intuitive as that offered by Fit Bit mobile app. Additionally I miss the Charge 3 email system and progress up dates. I was able to run both trackers for a couple weeks and while the logged pulse and exercise comparably step count was radically lower on the Garmin about 25 to 30%. I never bothered to determine witch was closest since cardiac function was my main concern.

    So far so good. Really like this watch. Does everything my Apple Watch does minus returning texts, storing music, and making calls. It’s more durable and the battery lasts for a couple weeks versus 2 days max. Would definitely recommend!
