    Horrible battery life. I wish i kept my Apple watch. Also, the step count (main reason i have this) is wildly inaccurate. They don't even measure when cutting grass (Apple did!). Another selling feature for me was the ability to track blood pressure. That's a non eyeing feature. Stick with Apple if you're thinking of switching - or a completely differdnt brand !! I wish i saved my box so i could return this but i didn't so now I'm stuck.

    The battery was consuming me!

    I spent more time charging and worrying about charging it than enjoying it. The battery did not last 18 holes of golf because I was using the GPS in the app. Every time I looked at my watch I thought more about charging it than using it. This is not a good elliptical workout tracker either. It picked up only about 1 out of 5 steps. Loved the screen quality. Back to my Garmin Venu 3s.

    I don't like the fact that I have to check my watch every night just to make sure that the battery saver didn't switch on by itself. Some things cannot work it that battery savers is on. Also I don't like the bands being plastic.
