    Husband always debated on getting one of these and finally decided to. His wrist is on the thinner side so we went for 40mm instead of 44, and it fits him perfectly!

    Sleep tracking is a disgrace

    The watch provides a lot of information but most of it is not accurate compared to other brands. (I wore two watches simultaneously to enable a compare) The Sleep monitoring is completely off, a disgrace to the brand. The Hours slept, REM, Deep and Awake stages are far from accurate. The SPo2 only provides an average during sleep. Sleep Naps are not recorded if under one hour. I was also disappointed with customer service. Very long wait time (20 minutes). After verifying that my Watch is up to date, I asked if a software update will be released soon to fix the bugs - no definite answer was given.

    I wanted a watch with better health metrics than my previous one and also wanted something to check for sleep apnea before I had to talk to a doctor and this watch fit the bill.

    The watch was not what I thought it would be. There were no instructions that came with the watch and it was hard to connect to the internet. It still has not connected to the internet.

    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.

    The watch is easy to set up and appears to track items well. It also has many pre programmed exersizes for workouts. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the battery life could be better.
