Many appreciate its comfortable fit and accurate health tracking capabilities. While some comments mention the watch's size, the majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive. The included free data and texting for two years is also a significant plus for many users.

    Love it overall, but have had a couple days that the battery seems to drain super fast. Most of the time, the battery life is great.

    I like the watch, but the battery life-- not so much. I find myself charging my watch before going to bed. I would also suggest getting a screen protector.

    Google-fi texting did not work

    The watch is great! But the 2 free years of Google-fi didn't work for text messages. I had countless calls and emails to Google-fi. I even called my cell phone provider. I finally took the watch back in to Best Buy and stayed there an hour while the tech and the manager tired to fix it. No one was able to. Finally, the manager waived the restocking fee and allowed us to return them for the Bluetooth versions.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
