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.

Great watch, only reason for 4 stars is battery life is not great ,I have to charge every day. I had Fitbit that would go for 3-5 days with out charge. There is a power saving mode but it turns off all apps, so it becomes an oversized watch, not worth wearing at that point, imop.

Sleep function is far from being accurate. Won't take blood pressure. Other than, it works as ad v ertised.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was iffy on whether or not I would like the squircle design but now I love it! It is thinner, lighter, and the screen feels bigger. I like the design updates like the buttons being a little more flush and the quick change straps are amazing, they are so much easier to change out now. I also feel like the health tracking is more accurate than my previous Watch 5. The only thing that would make this even more phenomenal is a little bit more animations in the watch faces or transitions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great watch with lots of functions, software is cumbersome and difficult to use. Battery life could be improved.
