First this watch looks good and feels heavy good quality
My only issue is the app it’s terrible using it with an iPhone is terrible don’t know how it works with the Android but the IPhone app connectivity is very very bad.
If they fix it then this watch would have been competitor to the Apple Watch.
But my girlfriend doesn’t mind it and still using it for some reason.
FYI don’t expect a lot out the battery cause it may not last you all day
Plus still not able to reply msgs straight out off it

I just got back from LA and almost anyone who seen my watch thought it was some 1 of 1 smartwatch. I like it because it still looks like a watch and not a 2way pager on my wrist.

I havent gone anywhere without my watch and it's been such and integral part of my life. When I forget it at home, I feel like my wrist is naked. Love that it now has a speaker and a microphone on the watch (I had the s2 before and it didnt have this feature)

Beautiful Watch But Misleading Description

I bought this watch for my wife as an alternative to the apple watch. I have the apple watch but my wife didn't care for the aesthetics. No doubt about it this is one beautiful watch. I was excited to give it to her as I knew she would love it. She did in fact love it but tho the display, the sales person and the packaging says iPhone compatible, what it should have said was limited compatibility. You can only receive alerts on the watch from the phone, you could not respond to the alerts. answer the phone, or any other premium feature you would expect form a smart watch. What is the use of having the smart watch if you still needed the phone to do anything. I returned this watch for a rose gold apple watch and tho she is a bit disappointed that she couldn't keep the one she wanted she is happy with the added functionality. I just wish they would've been clearer about the functionality of the limited compatibility so I wouldn't have wasted my time. Cant give it a negative review because I'm sure any android user would love this watch. My review is simply to inform other iOS users to not waste their time and just pick up the apple watch.

I get so many compliments on my Michael Kors Sofie watch. It doesn't seem like it's a smart watch at all and it has all the elegance to it. It doesn't have as many features as an apple watch does, but for me that's not a big deal. I purchased the watch for the looks and elegance it has. It is hard to text back from the watch itself, but I carry my phone on me all the time. I like that I'm able to view my notifications, texts, emails, phone calls at a glance. When I need to respond to those notifications I pull out my phone. Makes it easy to view the notifications when I'm in the office, in a meeting, or out and about.

This watch has everything I was looking for! It's beautiful, the functions are perfect. No issues with the battery life!! I love the notifications of text, emails, and incoming calls. I usually have my ringer of my phone off, and this helps me not miss calls. I wish Best Buy had options to actually look at what I was purchasing. They cannot show you the watch, just the box. I had to go to the Michael Kors store, try the watch on, and then go back to purchase at Best Buy. It is a bit expensive, and not being able to see/feel/examine the watch first was problematic- thus 4 stars & not 5

Let me start by saying, I absolute love the look of this watch. I have received multiple compliments and questions about this watch.
I waited to write a review about the watch to get the full idea of how it really operated, I have had it now for over two months.
It has a very light buzz to notify you of any notifications. I can answer calls on the watch but you do still need to speak into the phone to have a normal call. I can respond to messages on the phone via. text keyboard, quick responses or talking into the watch for messages. I can delete emails that come through from the watch. I also love that I can see my schedule for the next day and the fitness tracker is great!
The faces and complications that are on the watch are phenomenal, I love so many of the options they have!
The battery is okay. I can definitely wear the watch from 8AM-10PM and by that point it has a low battery. Plus it depends on how much you are using the watch during the day. I have read reviews about not having a long battery, the watch works the same as a phone...the more you use it and use the ON SCREEN ...the faster the battery will drain. I keep my screen off.
The one biggest flaw I have with this watch is at night when charge it, I can wake up and the watch is only at 34%. One the watch charges VERY slow BUT the actual charger itself is VERY flimsy and not the best quality (especially compared to the Apple watch charger).
Overall, I absolute love the watch but I would recommend trying to catch this watch while it's on sale! And possibly trying to find a second charger for it. If not a third one as well.

Before buying this watch, I had a Garmin one that was decent. The reason I decided on this one was because of the brand, Michael Kors, and the pretty design. Overall, it is an ok watch. I found myself missing my Garmin, but after a few software updates it has gotten better. The battery life sucked before but now it seems to last a lot longer. I use it with a Google Pixel 2 and every phone call that comes in is marked as a private caller. I have no idea why it does that. Also, my gmail hardly gives watch notifications after doing one of the watch software updates. It does what I want it to do, so its a good watch in my book.

I fell in love with this watch! I get compliments on it every time I wear it.
I purchased this as a graduation gift to myself. Honestly, I could do without all the features I would prefer if it was JUST a watch but I couldn't find another watch that caught my attention as much as this one did.
When I use it I usually just charge it in the car on my way to wherever I'm going. It's a magnetic charge so it's easy.
The biggest plus for me is honestly just the look of it. I did not get it for anything other than that.

This watch is beautiful. I can keep up with fitness, see notifications, answer texts, and ask Google. I love that I can customize the watch face with my personal photos. However, I wish it had a speaker. Also, it was very difficult to get it connected to my phone (Google Pixel 2). It would not connect to my primary account on my phone.

I love the style and overall look of this watch. It has tons of watch faces to choose from and is constantly updating with more. It does feel a bit heavy but I'm sure if you change bands that will change. Always getting compliments. Love this watch.

I love the design out of any other smart watches in the market. Needs improvement in compatability with iphones. Some features that i expected are not available with iphone. Hopefully android os updates will solve this issue.

The watch is amazing, my girl loves it. The bed is that the watch battery doesn't last long. This is problem with a lot of smart watch though. However, my girl still loves it.

Wife Loves it !

Wife had been wanting a new smartwatch and I came across this one that would match her purses etc. , so far in one week she has really loved it , bigger screen then her old smart watch and the rose gold matches her rose gold bridal rings as well. Nothing but compliments she receives. *Side Note * The battery lasted her 8 hr. shift with about 20% to spare but she did change the option of the watch to only turn on when she pushes the side button instead of always turning on when she flicks her wrist in the upwards position. By doing that she now leaves work with 60% remaining so remember to go into settings if you want a longer lasting battery. Other then that A+.

I love this watch. It's a perfect smart watch that doesn't look clunky. The only downside is that is doesn't have QUITE as many features as an apple watch

This watch is beautiful but battery doesn’t hold a charge very long which is frustrating. Heavier than my iwatch but nice for a different look.
