[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the AI part of the watch but it doesn't always connect right and so you have to go on your phone to do it anyways. I like the health features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery life on the original ultra I had wasn't great, I could get a day and a half of I was lucky, maybe I had a defective product
The watch 8 can last me a few days, granted I turn a lot of stuff off
I like the ability to wear whatever band I want too

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
