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

    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
