    Very first smart watch. Was easy to set up and use. Did not realize I needed a different block for charger. Had to go back to store to get one.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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.

    What’s easy to set up however battery life definitely only lasts for about 24 hours. If you turn it off to touch only to turn on your battery can last about 36 hours
