    I bought this to replace a vivosmart 4 that quit working. I really like all of the additional features it has. The weather, and the faces I was able to download. The size is a little bigger, but it's still comfortable

    Took very little time to learn how to use. Everything seems accurate, except for one time it read my heart rate incorrectly at 140 BPM. Otherwise, works great for the money.

    Replaced my old and dying FitBit with this. Was hoping to get something with more relevant features for me. It doesn't track elevation even though it has a spot for that on the display. Having it for a few months now, I wish I would've just stuck with another FitBit. It's about the same for $100 cheaper than this watch
