Its fine but the battery life is so short i can't wear it all the time like i could my old one. My old one would go 2-3 days without needing to be charged. I have to charge this one every night so i can't track my sleep. And the charger is finicky so if you dont get it on just right it wont charge at all which again i didnt have that problem with my last watch. I think this one has too many features that use too much batter.

I’m really impressed with how smooth and accurate this watch feels. Everything from tracking my steps to checking notifications works exactly as it should, and the design is sleek enough that I don’t feel like I’m wearing a gadget on my wrist.
It’s durable, feels solid, and the battery has been holding up well with all my daily use. I’m still exploring all the features, but so far the functionality and versatility make it a fun upgrade I actually enjoy wearing every day.
Bought this for my wife, who wanted a smartwatch. She loves it! Easy for her to use, syncs with my phone and keeps her up to date on her activity and health.
