    It's great, except the battery life is supposed to be up to 11 days and mine lasts 2 at the most, sometimes less than 1 day.

    I really enjoy all the new features available on this watch compared to the previous generation. For example, sleep quality, Hrv status, recovery time recommendations. The ability to input the amount of weight you’re working out with. The ability to correct the number of reps completed if there is an error. So much more. I really enjoy this new watch and it is stylish too.
