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.

    Never should of bought this watch, Best Buy told me it could do blood pressure readings ( only reason i wanted it.) However, that feature isn't allowed in the US. They also told me to take it in to my cell phone carrier to get the free included wifi, it was a in app install. I don't find the watch all that special and honestly to use the features is not all that user friendly. It did have a cool screen option, so there is that. In the drawer it goes since its past the return time frame.

    Nice Watch- Mediocre Battery Life

    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.
