Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using it 24/7 for nearly a month now and, overall, I'm happy with it considering the low price. - Fairly accurate for steps, heartbeat, and tracking distance. Comes within 5% or so of what I get measuring them other ways, though sometimes it does miss steps. Slightly more accurate than my old Fitbit. - Sleep tracking is decent, but maybe one day in ten or so misses when I fall asleep by up to a couple hours and thinks I fell asleep at 1 or 2am when I actually fell asleep at 10:30 or 11pm. - Display is nice. Bright enough to see easily in all but the most direct sunlight, and can even still be read then, just not as easily. Pretty good range of brightness, though I wish it could go just a bit dimmer for at night. Being able to schedule when lift-to-view is on vs tap-to-view is great, so I can lift-to-view during the day and it's disabled for at night. I wish you could schedule screen brightness the same way, as I have it at about 75% brightness during the day then have to manually turn it to minimum at night and back up in the morning. - Touch sensitivity is pretty good overall. Very little delay or lag and it almost never misses a swipe. Controls are intuitive. Biggest issue is that due to the small screen size and my big fingers, it does sometimes confuse a left swipe and a down swipe, but that's a minor nuisance at best. Another big drawback is that water droplets register as touches. So spray from taking it in the shower makes it think someone is swiping all over it. Locking the screen doesn't help, as it's a simple swipe-up-to-unlock and the random droplets do that within seconds. So I take it off for showers and problem solved. - The included watchfaces make for a decent selection, but I do wish there were a few more practical choices with high information density and simple designs rather than the more gaudy showy faces. You can make your own, but it's quite a chore using the Zepp Watch Face Maker, as nearly *everything* needs to be a separate image file, including each individual letter, number, decimal, etc. - Battery is good. I lose around 10%/day with the sensors turned up slightly higher than recommended, and charge it around once a week (by which time it rarely goes below 50%). The magnetic charging cable is nice, if a bit short, compared to the "docking" style chargers that Fitbit usually uses. In the last 20 minutes since I sat down, it's charged from 58% to 91%... pretty good. - Not a huge fan of the rubber watch band. It's mildly uncomfortable to wear tight and a tiny bit hard to put on and adjust. I figured I'd give it a month or two before seeing if there's any cloth bands that might be more comfortable. I have had it come loose at some inconvenient times after being caught on something, but the style of the band does prevent it from falling straight off like my old Fitbit would, which is rather nice. But, considering the price, it is a decent band. - The Android phone app is decent, but confusing the navigate. I had a little trouble getting it working at first, but after restarting both the phone and the watch once they were paired, I haven't had any issues since. It's pretty responsive other than the built-in Help pages, which refuse to load. It offers pretty good detailed charts and stats and good customization for the watch... it's just difficult to remember where to find what sometimes. - Alexa was slightly confusing to set up (but worked a lot better after restarting the watch and no problems since) and doesn't always listen even when it says Listening, but overall works well and is usually responsive. One downside I've found is that you can only have three reminders active at once on it, which is a feature I use Alexa for heavily. So best to only use it for short-term reminders so you don't clog that limited queue. But other general Alexa features work pretty well. - Text alerts are pretty nice and easy to read in spite of the limited screen size. The watch doesn't always know when a message has already been read on the phone though and will alert on it again, but that's quite rare. In the end, I had considered several more expensive smartwatches, but I'm glad I went with this one since I mostly just wanted something for casual fitness and health monitoring. Not everything works perfectly, but weighing quality against price, I'd consider it an excellent value.
