    Nice watch, liked all the features except the heart rate monitor. didn't realize it was the one that requires the band you wear around your chest. I was looking for one that takes it through your wrist.

    This device has been great. I got it mostly for tracking rides and hikes which is does great. The watch face apps make it so I can make it go with whatever I'm wearing. After about a year, I got some different colored bands which were only $13 each. The smart functions are okay, could be better.

    After only two weeks the watch has completely quit working. When plugged in the screen will show 100% charged. As soon as it's disconnected from the charger the screen fades to black. Device will not reset when holding down power button either. Taking it back to the store tomorrow.

    Since my purchase I have been very satisfied with the performance of the smart watch. It keeps me aware of my intensity during workouts and overall activity throughput the day which in turn has helped me lose 10 pounds. By linking with My Fitness Pal I can log calories which keeps me aware of what I'm eating in turn reminds me how hard I have to work if I eat junk.

    I bought my daughter this watch and she loved it so much I thought I'd give it a try. I had a Samsung gear fit and this was an upgrade. I found this watch difficult for me to operate. I went back to the Samsung s2 and love it.

    I think I overspent on this one. I chose this because of the GPS feature, but later on found I could have found it other places for less money.

    Everything I expected and more. Love the watch for the ease of use and all that it does. I have a very small wrist and the watch fits perfectly.
