I bought a name brand fitness watch years ago, mainly used it for steps, heartbeat, and seeing text messages without getting out my phone(No phone calls though). I had one BIG issue with it. I could never read it outside when it was sunny. Then never wanted to get another because of how much they cost.
That all changed when I found this watch and gave it a try. First, at $40 it doesn't break the bank. It's amazing what this watch does for that price. It does steps and distance (you can even program your stride length). It does your oxygen level and heartbeat accurately. It does blood pressure, but that is not so accurate. The top number can be low 10-20, and bottom number off about 5-10. I have never found a non pressure cup device to be accurate on that though. But I can use this as a gauge to see what my BP is doing, so it is helpful.
What makes me the happiest with this watch is that you can easily read it outdoors in the sun. You can adjust the brightness, and also pick what watch face you want. I had to download one that I liked. At half brightness it is very easy to read outdoors in the sun. You do need to download an app to make this work at first and program things, but that is easy. I've haven't used much of the fitness trackers on this watch because there are so many, but I will learn them over time.
As for Bluetooth connection, download app first, follow directions, then look for ZL80B on your phone to connect to, pretty simple. For messages it notifies you and you can read them. Phone calls can be made directly from watch, dial and also program in a few contacts. There is a speaker and microphone that work well, but I did notice you may have to speak on the left side of watch for others to hear you better.
This watch will be great for what I do outdoors, not having to get phone out of pocket. Being water resistant, I can go kayaking and put my phone in a dry bag or box, and then use this watch to not miss a call or message that might be important. All in all, for how cheap price this watch is, it is very much worth it to me.
