It's cute and works just fine! Only issue I have is how it frequently disconnects from my phone when it's literally close? It's annoying but a minor issue I can handle. Other than that i like it, works just fine and is convenient for me.
This is the first smartwatch I have had and I'm well impressed. I don't use it a tremendous amount but do use it with the display always on. I charge it every day to 90% which takes about 30 minutes. My only beef so far is that I almost always have gaps in my sleep record. I have tried everything suggested with no avail.
