I've always been on the fence about smart watches, particularly Apple watches since I'm an iPhone user. While I like the idea of being able to see incoming messages if my phone is away at work and to track my heart rate, steps, and sleep patterns, I don't see the point in some of the other functions that are included since 99% of the time my phone is within arms reach anyway, and therefore I don't need a $200 mini phone for my wrist.
What I love about this watch is that it has the features I desired (see above) for a fraction of the cost. The set up was seamless (1), the battery life is excellent (2), and it's comfortable (3).
(1) With the watch comes an instruction manual that clearly guides you on how to connect the watch to your device. No trouble shooting was necessary during setup and I haven't had to reconnect the watch to my device since the initial setup.
(2) When I received my watch in the mail, it was already charged about 50% and it only took a half hour or so to charge the rest of the way. From 100%, the battery lasted 7 days before it alerted me that the battery was low and needed to be recharged.
(3) I've never worn a watch, or even a bracelet, every day until this watch. I have pretty small wrists but the wristband has 16 different notches to accommodate for a wide variety of sizes, and I was able to find one that not only fits snugly but comfortably, and I forget that I'm wearing it most of the time, which is a plus for me.
I would recommend this watch if you're looking for a simple smart watch (ie. one without all the "bells and whistles"), as it's both affordable and functional. Overall I'm impressed with the quality, especially at its' price point.
