Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ordered this for my father in law and I honestly wasn't expecting much out of a $30 something smart watch. I figured if it's junk, It won't break the bank. To my surprised it was solid built. The watch itself felt solid and not like some flimsy cheap plastic. The armbands are smooth and also solid built. The hinges (or whatever you called those) are smooth and easy to removed if desired. There are 4 clock faces that you can switch to. The app itself is better than expected. It's not buggy like the app for my Fitbit charge 3. More on FITBIT later on.. read in the end 1. You can read text messages and messages from FB messenger. As you can see, the messages are clear. This is one thing that no one has clearly mentioned or shown in pictures. ***The absolute most important feature for my FIL*** 2. You can not reply to text messages or answer/make calls. If you want to do all that, be prepare to spend a big chunk of $$. It's a waste imo. 3. It does not show weather. (Who really cares about that anyway?) 4. The "find my phone" feature is great. my FIL loves it! 5. Battery life is excellent. After around 2 days of normal use , the battery is at 60%. If this keeps up, the watch will only have to be charged like once a week which is excellent. The only negative thing I can think of is that it doesn't come with a longer wrist band for those who make need it, but that's not a biggie imo. Before I bought this, I bought a FITBIT charge 3 ( $99 for myself) and Versa Lite ($155) for my mother in law. I regret buying those 2. Passed return window. After playing with this willful watch for a few days, the extra $$ spent on the FITBIT brand was not even worth it. arrgg. Not to mention, how buggy the FITBIT app is, at least with my charge 3. So annoying! I tested all the features such as heart rate, steps, etc and the FITBIT watches didn't do any better. For the price, this watch does its job. If you want all those fancy bells and whistles, go ahead and spend $300 on the others. If you just need to keep track of your health and see who is messaging/calling you, this watch is perfect. Will update this review in a few months (if I remember) and see where we're at at that time....
