Is just what my husband wanted. The battery life is excellent for a smart watch and it is really rugged.

I love that i don't need to charge often my watch because the watch has mini solar panels inside the watch screen.
I'm charging around once a month. If i turn on the battery saving mode with minimum functions turned on, the watch lasts, according to the screen, two months.
I am a everyday user so i only get around a month and a half for the single battery life.

I really like it so far. The battery life is over stated I’d say about 25-30% based on my first use on a full charge but roughly 17 days on a full charge is still impressive. Learning the buttons is a bit annoying but once you get it, you’re good. It starts out as a 4 star watch but once you get used to it, it becomes a reasonable 5.

My son loves this watch! He chose it over the Galaxy Active 2 and has zero regrets.

This watch is rugged and has all components needed to work with smart phone. I switched to apple watch for day to day use since it doesnt fully integrate with apple products. I will pull this watch out for all camping trips in the future though.

I love this watch even though I will never use 95% of the features. The solar feature is great in comparison to competing brands where you have to recharge nearly every day.
The GPS feature is great. It's nice not having to manually reset the time when travelling to different time zones.
It is very customizable to make the features you use most easily accessible.

This watch is fantastic! I bought this watch to upgrade for better fitness tracking. My apple watch just wasn't cutting it. The features the app has will improve your training tremendously. If you like the look of G-Shocks and Casios, this is the watch for you.

Love it. If you're going for features I'd take a galaxy or apple watch. But if you're going for battery life and no frills when it comes to the specific features it offers, this thing is the one.

This watch takes a beating. Excellent battery life, not too flashy. Needing something to see notification, but didn't need all that fancy stuff from other smart watches. Gives me great health info and logs it into the app. It's nice to charge the watch at the end of the week, sometimes 2 weeks.

Very satisfied with this watch. For people who are active and on the go, this watch has kept up with the rigorous environment I have been through and many more. The functions are great and does not have unnecessary features to it unlike other watches.

Overall the watch is a good buy. The solar charging portion is pretty much non-functional in that it takes too long to charge to even use that option. Otherwise it is a great watch. It has been abused and still keeps on ticking.

Tracks weather run times by lap. Temperature during your run so you can see your pace as the temp rises or falls. Defiantly recommend this watch. Better than the other smart watches. Plus super durable.
