It's discreet and fast. A new processor may be coming soon but this one with fast and holds to to my daily use. Some days the battery lasts me until the end but on my workout days I definitely need to plug it in. But to be honest I still have about 20%-15% of a charge by 10:30 if my day started at 6am and I worked out for 45min.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far I am enjoying this watch, using it mainly for notifications and calendar when my phone is not on me. However, every morning after I have charged it I have to restart the watch or it doesn't notify me of texts. This is pretty inconvenient. I already did two factory restarts in the beginning which didn't help.

Terrible watch, freezes constantly. Not worth $1

No nearly powerful enough to run WearOS effectively. Spent hours just trying to install 1-2 basic apps, with things freezing and crashing. This is worthless as a smartwatch. Looks fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just received the watch and I am very satisfied. It looks great and this version does all the things expected of a smartwatch. I really like the heart rate monitor and the added buttons on the side that make getting to apps like Google Pay really convenient. I used to own an Apple Watch, but I much prefer the Falster 2.

Wish it was more compatible with my iPhone but overall it is a beautiful watch and I love the smartwatch functions of viewing messages, notifications and calendar events. Will not sync with "Google" functions such as mapping, or the "Fit" functions; don't care about the fit part, but was really hoping to use the mapping ap. Wish there was somewhere local to get assistance, setting up the watch is fairly intuitive however the watch does not come setup instructions and some of the features would probably work if I had assistance.

The watch is great but the battery life could be better. Hard to track my sleep when the watch is 30% by the end of the day and needs to be charged overnight. Dies even sooner if you use it during the day

The battery life with the Always-On display so far has been a little disappointing, it only lasted about 10-12 hours before going into batter saver. It has done quite a lot better without the Always-On though. The extra action buttons are very nice, and using them with android 2.1 has been fantastic. The charger snaps nicely to bottom of the watch and isn't finicky. The charging screen mimics the starting (Skagen Default) watch face regardless of what watch face you have picked which i find a little interesting, but generally its not an issue since i'm usually not paying attention to it while its charging.

This watch has plenty of features. Wear OS integration is a must for an Android smartwatch, and the falster 2 does not disappoint. Awesome because: Easy integration with Google fit. XDrip+ (for blood sugar). Google assistant. Notifications. Texting from the watch (has keyboard, and voice transcription). two customizable buttons. This is everything I've wanted from a smart watch. Not awesome because: It's a little slow on how responsive it is. But with "last year's model" I can deal with that, no problem. The real killer is Battery life. I've owned it for two weeks, and it's settled into a routine by now (first few days, expect any battery to not last as long. With updates and settings changes etc). But Even with GPS and WiFi and other optional features turned off, the battery only lasts about 14 hours, which is not enough to make it through an entire day. When the watch has to go into low power mode at dinner time every day, it's just a disappointment. Other thoughts: There's no speaker on the watch. So no calls, or alert noises. I personally like the vibration only. And I don't need to call from my watch. So not a big deal to me.
