Pretty nice smart watch
It's pretty nice. It looks real nice. Downloaded the app on my phone and after that it was pretty simple. My wife loves it. It goes off A LOT, with all of her apps on her phone. And the battery may be down to 87% for one day so the battery life is good too. Glad I got this for her
Good watch
So far this watch has been good to me. I think it could do a little more in terms of design there aren't many options for screen savers, I would prefer being able to personalize the lock screen but that's just me. I feel like a lot of the features of this watch are geared towards fitness which is ok but it could have other practical features besides counting steps and setting alarms to drink water. You can take calls on it and read & reply to text messages other than that it's like having a bulky fit bit. Still like it I guess
Beautiful Fancy Functional Watch
This Watch is exactly what I was looking for. Heart Monitor, Step counter, Calories burned and how may miles walked. With the added bonus that you can check messages as they come in and phone calls. You can also control music, pause ,play or next song.
I will say that the band it comes with makes this watch look super fancy, so I did purchase a pack of silicone bands just to change it up and not feel so fancy at work.
As for the battery life...… If you have it set to always on then battery will definitely drain. Tilt to turn on will do that too, I personally have it set to tap to turn on and my battery last all day.
Charging is super fast.
Faces for the watch...… so many cute ones are available thru an assortment of apps that work with this watch
This watch is also waterproof which is a plus, sleep monitor as well I personally do not use the sleep function because honestly who goes to sleep with a watch on?! But to each their own
Overall excellent watch and the price is pretty decent too
Does the job!
It does the job that I need it to but if I want the battery to last, I have to keep the call and message options off or it's dead before the end of my day. Since I mainly wanted it for tracking my activity.. it is functional for that. I have no issues with the way it functions but wish the battery life would allow me to utilize all the functions at once
Great watch for the price
This was my first smart watch. I was a little concerned that setting it up was going to be an issue, but it was actually pretty easy. I have a Google Pixel 4, and the pairing went very smoothly, and I was able to integrate the wearable easily. I was also concerned that since I haven't worn a watch in 20 years, that the face would be bulky/heavy or uncomfortable. The face is larger than I'm used to, but it's a good size on a medium sized wrist, it doesn't annoy me or bang around on things. The rose gold finish seems to be wearing really well, as are the tiny CZ embedded in the face. The face of the watch itself is easy to read, and highly responsive to touch. The heart rate monitor works very well, and doesn'tdrain the batterynearly as bad as I expected. Overall, I can go 28 hours with the watch monitoring my sleep and heart rate, and charging takes about an hour.
Stylish looking, nice piece of wearable tech, would totally recommend it.
No regrets
It does what I need. Tells me time, my heart rate, my steps, direction, people text, calls, other notification. I haven't tried the gps for running. I haven't paid attention with steps count & thoughts of stairs kinda thing. The touch screen is responsive so texting is have the normal accuracy of swyping the keyboard. The rose gold though... Seems more gold than rose ??
Great watch
I really like this watch. I have an apple watch and my wife uses android so was looking for a similar product with works well with the android platform. I have to say i am really impressed with the watch it think it has more features that the apple watch. Other reviews of this product were harsh on the battery life but i don't see it. we set the battery to custom and run Bluetooth, GPS and Wifi at the same time and the battery lasts all day with about 30% left at the end of the night. Granted mostly just looking at a text or a quick 15 sec call and not super high usage but it holds up well and it fully charges really fast in case you do run low. Wife absolutely loves it! Would highly recommend.
Best smartwatch ever!
I've had many smartwatches but this is the best. For the negative reviews on the battery life, check your settings. If your heart rate is set at checking every 5 minutes, you might want to set it to every 10 minutes. I love this watch.
Stone Has Fallen Out of Watch Face
I have only worn the watch since 4/30/22 (received it 4/29/22) and already one of the stones on the watch face has fallen out (see circled area on the photo). Note that I don't wear it every day if I'm just hanging around the house. I previously had a Fossil watch which was a "hand-me-down" until it would no longer stay powered on. I wore it for 3 years (don't know how long the giver wore it before I received it) and never lost a stone from it. Very disappointed as I really liked my first one so wanted another like it.
My watch need life
My watch dead quickly I just used like 2 month and it is dead I just wanna contact the company but I can not get them...I both 3 1 for my, mom, 1 for my daughter and 1 for me...my own started getting hot...and when I charge it is turning too hot I do think is the battery...now I am using my daughter s one but I want to replace my own or the company fix it for me...I will hope they read this...thanks
Attractive watch that works as advertised
I love this watch for receiving text messages. I am a diabetic and am able to receive glucose readings from my continuous glucose monitor. What I don’t like is, it always says it can’t give me the weather when it clearly is connected to the internet. I believe it has something to do with the google app, but don’t have the time to run down what more I have to do to get basic info while connected.
I do get my calendar events which is helpful. I love being able to “answer “ my phone from the watch, which gives me a little extra time to find my iPhone. Overall, a good value.
Chaging my review....
My watch was still under the 1 year warranty so they had me send it at my expense. They sent it back as their expense. Turns out that the watch wasn't the. Issue. As a matter fact it runs better after getting it back just a couple weeks ago. It was the charger gone bad after. 5 months.
It works
Had it for a little while now. For a watch that isn't assigned it's own number when you're too far from your phone, it works pretty well. The range is nice. So far no technical issues. It gets the job done. Sometimes it loses connection completely and I have to reboot it but it always picks up afterwards. The only complaint I have is how short the battery seems to be. I mean it works when I need it to but the battery doesn't last long enough for me to track my sleep. I'm not sure it would do it accurately any way. The step counter seems to record certain movements as steps even when I'm sitting or driving. But for calla, texts, payments, etc it works. So I'm satisfied with it.
Nice smartwarch, good design, some functions could be improved.
This is my first smartwarch. The design is pretty nice, face options are good enough, health apps seem good although I have not used them much. Battery life could be longer. Sometimes it loses connection with the phone. It doesn't synch with my outlook calendar nor with my Gmail and I haven't figured out why yet. All in all, a nice product.
Beautiful watch, but charger could be better quality
I love my watch, I am so happy I got it. It was working nicely until I could no longer charge the watch, I couldn't understand why and it happened 2 days after my closing window. I love it so much that even if it wasn't working because I had no charge on it I still continued to wear it anyways because of how gorgeous it looks. So in hopes to fix this,, I started searching for answers and reviews and noticed some were having the same issue, so I went ahead and asked to see if anyone came up with a solution if any. I also decided to buy an additional charger cord to see if that was the case, and guess what?! That was the solution, I needed another charging cable, ugh...the original charging cable died off! My charging cables came in today, I solved the problem! Im very happy it wasn't the actual watch itself. Thankfully, I have my watch gaining its charge life back and soon ready to be at my service again! Lol ...Love my watch, love my watch, love my watch! Can't say it enough lol
Something else...battery life eh not the greatest but ok, you would need to deactivate certain features so that it could last longer but then again it would completely beat its purpose. Would also be very nice if the company would create on the mobile app and option to be able to use our own images and or photos on the watch, that would be an additional awesome plus bonus to have.
MAGNETIC BAND VS. LAPTOP!!!
So for days my computer has been glitching. The screen flickers or the computer turns off to the login screen. I've been searching for a solution and my first thought was loose wiring connecting the monitor causing a surge (no computer genius here). I updated everything I could. I almost gave up until I saw a post about someone's fitbit causing their computer to shut down to the login screen because of the magnet in the band. So don't wear this and try to write your great novel or get a different band (the band is awesome though). Just wanted to give some other dummies a heads up.
Watch 3?- Customer Service 0?
This watch would've been wonderful, but it tends to disconnect on its own. It will reconnect back, but takes ten minutes or so. The big problem is customer service! I returned my watch October 10th and have yet to receive a refund. Tried to call amazon and they told me they couldn't do anything about it. I'm still waiting for $170 back! It took them less than a day to pull the funds from my account, but yet I'm still waiting for mine 13 days later. I have never had this issue before! I was told it could be all the way until the middle of November. I will not be buying from this seller again.
Alright
I got this for my mom and it started off really good. It took a really long time to get it connected to her phone. But after 7ish months it stopped accurately tracking the steps. One day it disconnected and we could never get it to connect again. I would say this is a good watch if you are looking more for something with the time and not really looking for a smart watch. It could be a good transition watch but not long term. It is a really pretty watch and good quality.
Where's the smart part?
I was excited to order a new and beautiful smart watch and thought this was going to be a great partnership.
It hasn't really worked out that way.
First and foremost is the battery life, which is nowhere near what is acceptable. To get anything close to a workday's worth of service, I have to limit most of the functionality of the watch.
Add to that the extremely short list of things I can do with Wear OS, and it's a 200 dollar digital watch...
...that I have to charge daily.
Did I get a dud item that slipped past QC?
I don't know, because I gave up on the watch.
Overall I love this watch!!!
You need to disable notifications on most apps if you want to have a better battery life. The magnet strip does loosen through out the day but over all it is a strong magnet. I love the interchangeable faces!! I love how it tracks my steps throughout the day and it syncs with some of my games that log steps. I also like how it tracks my sleep as well!!! My man did a great job with this surprise!!!!
