Does Mostly What is Advertised - Updated Post at the End
Here are some pros and cons that I've found with this item so far:
Pros:
Large Face, easy to read
Multiple useful features such as sleep tracking, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure
Customizable face
You can make phone calls and read messages on the watch
Step count and vital metrics were fairly accurate
Cons:
The band was kinda wonky and difficult to figure out how to wear at first. The band I got was not the same band that was in the picture I saw with two bands to hold in. It wasn't until I saw another watch with a similar band that I figured it out. Once I figured out how the band goes, it actually was pretty nice.
The activity trackers were waaaaay off, at least for me. For walking, it recorded that I walked twice as far and a heart rate 20% higher than actual. It didn't matter what I put in as my stride, it recorded the same distance. I tried different stride lengths and got the exact same result. For cycling, it was the opposite. It recorded half the calories I should be burning and the heart rate was 20% less than actual. However, knowing this, I have been able to make calculations and find usability. Other people may not have this problem.
Sleep tracker was a bit off, too, and often had me falling asleep too early and listing me as being in "light" sleep when I was actually awake. But still gave me a general idea about how I sleep.
So, overall, if you're looking for a basic smart watch with some fun features, this may work for you.
Update: My original purchase watch had a problem while it was under warranty. However, they promptly replaced the watch with a new one. The new watch is much more accurate and efficient. I give them 5 stars for the replacement and customer service.
