Connection Issues
on November 25, 2025

It won't stay connected to my phone. I've only had it 2 days.
Done all the trouble shooting. My options are to return or replace, why replace with another watch that wont connect (I had 2 6's with the same issue). Everything is up to date and my phone has no issues staying connected to anything else.

Great Activity Tracker
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Kryddan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this watch to track daily activity and workouts. Easy to use and integrates great with my Z Flip 6. The only negarive (and reason for 1 star reduction) is the high price of additional watch bands.

I replaced my watch 6 with 8 for battery reason, this seems to have the same issue, despite turnign off several features which can potentially drain battery life, I still don see it holding up for na entire day. very disappointed. Also the dial size does nto look good. Just the old plain circle was good. veen a 40 m is still too big for majority of women.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best of all, it's very lightweight, the battery lasts a long time, the image is sharp and more colorful, and it has all the functions you need to keep track of your weight, calories, etc.

I love the watch & all of its capabilities, however, I would really like a smaller wrist band option. I have small wrists & I don't like tucking half the band through the loop. That is my only complaint.
