Great health watch!
I have been wearing the watch since 2/14. I like the features but notice when I hike the distance is about 1/3 less than actual or when I use it on walk. I would like to figure out why this happens.

Amazing amount of features!
I got this watch as a replacement for a FitBit. So glad I upgraded. I am still learning all the features of this watch, and look forward to using it to track my health and activities (hiking, biking, etc).

Exceptional piece of equipment
I purchased this product as a heart patient to monitor every aspect that's available. Due to the fact I have a pacemaker/defibrillator I would like to see a longer bands available for it to be worn at night at the ankle . This will keep the unit away from the implanted device. That said though , I'm am very i.pressed and pleased with my unit

Everything I needed!
I wasn't looking for anything too fancy, just something to get a little more intentional with my overall wellbeing. I've had smart watches in the past, but they seemed too much like a phone on my wrist. I did a lot of looking into different fitness watches and health trackers and this seemed like the right fit, and it was! I still get notifications, but I enjoy how the wellness features are highlighted rather than the social features.
