The health and exercise monitor is perfect to start, mantain and track your progress. Is a lot lighter than the Ultra version. Is posible to set up with ATT but the process is extremely difficult if you dont buy from them.
Got this for Christmas. Bought the extra blue band and am wearing constantly. It's comfy, easy to view (I use the face as shown on the photo) and gives me access to everything I need. It's taken me a while to work through all the options and eliminate the apps I do not need, but I learn a bit more every day. Would definitely buy again.
I have largw battery it still goes dead in no time i hate watches 2nd brand from them does the same
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall we are happy with this purchase. I gave it 4 stars because I noticed the battery doesn't last a full day. Things my first watch do I'm not sure if thisnis common.
