    I bought this for my son-in-law for Christmas. He just loves it and has been counting his steps ever since. It really looks nice on his wrist.

    Disappointment

    very complicated to use, very old style of function with new tech. I was very upset with how the watch did not work as I expect it. The battery dies very fast, Ive read reviews and they said 6-8 days without a charge. I needed to charge mine after 12 hrs. It does not mark steps accurately. You can move your wrist and it tacks on 5 steps. And when you take a few steps, it does nothing. I will be returning this watch. Not sure if I got a lemon, but regardless, it was a very disappointing experience.
