Blood oxygen readings were usually off by 5-8 points compared to ring pulse oximeter, snd sometimes 15-20. Watch 7 is much better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like the watch. The issue is it doesn't stay charged for a full work day. I can't figure out if something I can't find is running in the background. I haven't downloaded any aps or programs. I'm at a loss why this is happening.

I love the big face on this watch. It tells me everything at a glance. I have been having some connection issues with my phone, however, it might be switching between my vehicle and phone. My Galaxy 6 would connect to both and I could answer with either my hands free or watch. Could be some setting I need to adjust but I haven't figured that one out yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product has great features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't worn a watch in several years. I got this to measure my steps to be able to turn it into my insurance for a discount. I got the watch and it auto connected to my health insurance app and it works great. It has a built in compass, which i think is awesome. It let's you choose the face or you can customize it. It works with my samsung S24+ phone. When I get a text, my watch will vibrate to let me know. Normally in my job you can't hear your phone make any noise and if I don't have it in a certain pocket I can't tell that it vibrates, but the watch will to let me know. It is great. It tell me the outside temperature, the time and date and battery life.
