    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.

    So this is my second one of these as the first would NOT hold a charge for longer th15 hours even when unused. My second one has a little longer battery life but still does not go beyond 18 hours. The volume on it is horrible, you can turn it up and it goes right back down. The health monitors on this watch are nothing near reliable. Overall this was a huge waste of money

    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.
