    I have to charge the watch once a day and sometimes twice a day. I'm trying it for a few weeks to see if it improves.

    OK Watch, band sweats and irritates

    It's ok, not as good or flexible as an Apple Watch, and the sizing seems a bit off. The band sweats way too much though and really irritates the skin.

    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.
