    Can't use it to track sleep because you have to charge the battery every night! The only reason i wouldn't recommend it to others is because of the battery life. But if you don't have an issue with charging it every night then yes.

    Does what I need it to. It's a bit laggy and isn't super responsive, but the only thing I mainly use it for is notification from my phone and checking the time. The battery lasts a full day for me. It's a good watch.
