Great watch with one flaw
I generally do not write reviews, but I thought this bit of information may help some other people. This is a great watch! Truly just as described. Easy set up within minutes. However, there is 1 design flaw that even customer service couldn't get me around. When you have the phone setting turned on on the watch to make and receive calls, unfortunately all the sound from your phone (videos, notification sounds, music etc) will automatically come from your watch also. So that means if your watch is connected by Bluetooth, even if you're not wearing it but it's close enough in proximity to you, you will get no sound from your phone at all. It will all come through the watch. Customer service says to turn off the phone setting on the watch in order for sound to come from your phone. However, if you turn off the phone setting, then you cannot make and receive calls on the watch - which would defeat the purpose of one of its main features. I found this SUPER annoying and was just about to return it when I figured out the solution. So....the way around it is this: under device control, choose your watch, click device settings and turn off the media toggle. Now all the sound comes from your phone and you can still make and receive calls on your watch. Hope this helps others who may be experiencing the same problem. Only wish customer service had been more knowledgeable about this.
