    Great watch/fitness tracker. Bought this to replace my fitbit. Has better fitness tracking and watch faces. Only downside is the silicone band.

    Fantastic watch leaps and bounds beyond anything else on the market. My wife has POTS and it's very helpful in tracking her ups and downs and reporting. The emergency mode is also a huge benefit and works perfectly; sends out a text to the contacts of choice
