Ok, I'm new to smart watches, and I'm an ageing baby boomer, so my review is probably less useful to younger folks with greater abilities on such products. The principal difficulty I encountered is that the device is slow to respond to input, whether button push or touch screen. This made it impossible for me to learn how to use the watch. It simply is not for someone like me.
This watch is confusing......I keep having to go back to the beginning to figure out what it's doing and why? And it isn't calculating anything? I have followed the instructions to a "T" but it's like it's broken? This is my first experience with a Smartwatch, but honestly, I think I could live without one.
Very nice looking watch. Very slow. Couldn't detect my touches or swipes to get through the tutorial. Very poor battery life. Lost 20% battery in 2 hours. While turned off and sitting on the counter. After finally somehow getting through the tutorial: Unlocking phone was a challenge due to poor touch recognition. Ghost touching kept happening. Basically reacting as if I had touched the watch face even though I hadn't. Music automatically skipping. Would randomly reboot. Eventually, it wouldn't stay awake for more than 2 seconds. I played with it for a night and decided to pack it up and I'll soon be returning it. Maybe I got a faulty one. Maybe its Wear OS's fault. I'm don't know. What I do know is it's too much money spent for all those problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Showing Signs of Wear After Less Than a Month of Use

This watch is now a month+ old. I've only recently started wearing it M-F at work; an office/desk job. I point this out to show that it's not getting beaten up daily or anything. One of the straps is peeling up on the edge, and the reflective coating is starting to wear away in some spots. The watch functions are fine overall. I can answer texts, etc. from it, check my activity (steps/heart rate/etc), the weather; control some of my apps. But I'm disappointed in the strap quality for sure; especially for the cost of the watch.
I love this watch. It's comfortable and helps me through our day. The tough credits are clueless on what the average person needs in a watch. The watch is awesome and meets my needs
