    I wanted to try a watch that did not cost me a couple of hundred dollars in case I did not like it. I love this watch! It is not a touch watch it has the buttons on the side. But it syncs easily with my S4 phone and it runs for 2 or 3 days per charge

    Pretty good for a getting into the smart watch category. It is limited to only notification and no response capability, but overall fairly useful.

    I purchased the Metawatch on sale for a great price without much research. The watch works great. The battery life is phenomenal (2-3 days under heavy use). The only drawback is the Metawatch Manager App really needs some more options added. There is around 40 options including stock quotes, weather, sports scores, and of course time. Could stand to have a lot more custom options. If your looking for time and a few more options this will serve you quite well.

    Great watch and the price is right. Alerts you for all your calls, texts, calendar events etc. Ideal for a beginner. Good battery life and strong vibration. Only setback is the strainous process it takes to update the software in the watch.

    I got this on sale and it is decent for the price. The mirror style screen is almost impossible to read. The app is terrible and doesn't have much support behind it. Overall, I would recommend looking elsewhere for a smart watch.

    Ok for price, not on par with other smartwatches

    The watch is great, comfortable to wear and fulfills the basic smartwatch function of displaying alerts on your wrist along with rudimentary information. It also does not noticeably drain the phone battery. The watch battery lasts 2-3 days. The disappointment is that the open-source watch app does not appear compatible with this watch's firmware. Which is a shame because it seemed to offer a much expanded functionality. The company offers a way to modify both the watch firmware and the phone app, but it's not easy - there is no SDK or documentation, only the source code.

    works fine had some problems with OS8 but the upgrade fixed that and the battery life of the watch could be longer. Uses phone battery more quickly

    This is a great early smart watch for the price. Sure there is new and better technology out now but for this price this is a great product.

    Good watch and does everything that it is supposed to do but because it uses Bluetooth it kills the battery on my iPhone 5s

    Love this watch. I work in a plant and can't always hear my phone ring or vibrate. Since I started using my watch I have yet to miss an important phone call or text message.

    I got the watch to use for work because I'm in construction. When I'm on job sites it's loud and dark in a lot of areas where I can't hear or see my phone so I got the meta watch frame. . It works good for what I use it for. It looks more manly than the other watches. It could have more apps for iOS side of it. All in all it's a cool watch.

    Neat and Functional but Zaps Phone Battery

    I really like this device. The first two days I used this, I was at my desk with my phone charging as needed. A few days later and I go to a football game with 80% battery and te phone is dead before the end of the third quarter. Setup was easy, widgets are cool and informative, but battery drain on my phone prohibits me for using it when I need it most - when I am out and about and away from a charger.

    I use it everyday. Works well with iPhone 5. It's very easy read day or night in all light. Easy to pair with watch. Easy to charge overnight. Light weight. You can change the band on this model watch. Great doing business as always with Best Buy. It's a fun add on for iPhone.
