Unfortunately the only feature that is accurate is the time of day and the timers. None of the other features are accurate. I had a g4 before and I read the marketing stuff that said the g8 was more accurate but much to my dismay it's not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Over all the watch is good and the only problem I have is that the watch left me with a red spot in my wrist where the light sensors are under the watch so I keep moving the watch every few hours so I don't get red marks on my wrist again from the light sensors area again which is the only reason I didn't get those red spots again for now. I don't know the reason for those red circle shaped marks or spots. Other then the problem above I am happy with the watch I have right now
