    Great watch. Light, many features, and a GREAT battery. I had a Vivoactive 3 and Galaxy 5 and had to recharge daily. This watch can go for 4-5 days without charging, perhaps longer. Looks great, and has incredible sensors

    Battery does not last as advertised. I returned it twice and got a Galaxy instead. My old Vivoactive battery lasted twice as long. The Screen is far better looking but if you have to charge it every 2 days you may as well get a regular smartwatch.
