Battery life could be improved. However it is a must have for serious fitness person. Steps count seems off at times as it counts steps while driving. But such appears to be the norm for most wrist worn trackment. Overall I would surely buy again.

I tried a few different trackers before landing on this one. It seems pretty accurate; easy to take on and off; reminds you to get moving when you sit too long, and seems really durable.

I like it, but the display is definitely not best. I have really use the heart rate monitor. I didn't realize it was in the package when I purchased it. The one time I tried to use it, I guess I didn't know what I was doing. the band works with the polar heart rate monitor that I already owned so I have been using it. I would get another one but with a better display,

I bought this for Christmas for my wife and she loves it. She uses it daily and finds it easy to use. The display is bright & it keeps its charge for a few days at a time.

Decent for a cheap fitness watch with no gps

For the price this is decent... It was about $80 and somewhat water proof up to so many feet. and connected to my phone via Bluetooth. Honestly looking back I would have spent more to have the GPS enabled rather than the Heart rate band belt thing that you have to wear if you want it to pick up more of your steps...It DOES NOT pick up your steps well in big buildings like mall/ Walmart unless you put it in your pocket or are using the belt with it which becomes highly uncomfortable when you become sweaty to say the least. Also the display has always been hard to see. After about 6 months it had become apparent that the watch is not as durable as I would have liked and is now failing to charge correctly so pry will try and get it fixed or update it with a nicer one (Took out Geek Squad protection so this will help either fix or replace it altogether)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
