    I have now owned the apple watch and this watch and I can honestly say they are very comparable to each other. I like the looks of this one more though.

    The only complaint is the delay of the raise wrist screen. Like if you're running and raise your wrist there is a short lapse to update the screen.

    Nice smart watch. The band is very sturdy. Wish a user manual came with it. A little over priced considering it is a 2.

    The watch was much easier to pair then it's predecessor also the removal of the bezel gives less chance of a malfunction with it having fewer moving parts

    I received this watch for Christmas and liked everything about it except for the items situated around fitness. The GPS accuracy (even with high accuracy on) is still poor. I don't expect the watch to have the accuracy of my Garmin but to be roughly 10% off per mile too low is inexcusable. The HR is better than it was in the Galaxy Watch I had tried about a year ago but it still has moments when it would "freeze" while exercising. Finally I wanted to be able to use this watch for tracking my runs and playing music at the same time. While using GPS and streaming music to my headphones, the battery would drain 30%-35% every half hour. This wouldn't even get me through a half marathon that I run in about 1:45! I don't have LTE turned on otherwise I would assume the battery drain would be worse. For these reasons, I ended up having to return it. If you mainly use this watch for notifications, responding to texts and calls, and step tracking, it works well. If having a reliable watch for tracking your fitness is important to you, this watch isn't it.

    I love the round shape of the watch. I have gotten use to the virtual bezel. I would give it 5 stars except the ECG function has not been enabled yet.
