Ok, I must admit, when I saw all the 5 star reviews on this "cheaper" watch, I was REALLY skeptical. I need a smart watch for phone calls and RESPONDING to text messages (which is hard to find) as well as for receiving notifications. I don't need it for health tracking (as I have the ultrahuman ring for that). I've been looking for what seems like FOREVER for an affordable smart watch with text response capabilities. I've FINALLY FOUND IT!
Anyway, I'm actually shocked! This is a really decent watch so far and has everything I need! The HaloFit companion app is really nice and allows for a lot of customization.
You can customize the watch face, add your location for current weather, it has quick reply for text messages, which are customizable (I love this!) And this watch now allows for 30 contacts to be stored in the phone for quick calling. Most other third party smart watches only allow 8 to 10.
The watch has notification sounds which is pleasant and you can adjust the sound or just turn it completely off. The vibration mode has 3 settings also and seems to get my attention nicely unlike other brands I've tried.
The watch band is really nice and soft too. Very velvety soft and comfortable.
So far my only beef with it is that I can't get the weather location to reset. The watch itself is showing weather for the neighboring city (which is only 15 minutes away) but the app shows my home location and city, so I'm not sure why that is. It's not a deal breaker for me though. I basically just want text and call capabilities which I have now!
If you're looking for an affordable smart watch, you certainly need to give this a try. It's a lot of bang for only a few bucks.
