Everything I wanted!
on October 4, 2021
Posted by: Kristina2218
The main things I was looking for in a new watch were: great battery life, shows my notifications, rugged for my lifestyle. This watch checked all of those boxes! The battery life is great, but when you have the extra charge through solar, it's phenomenal! I returned my new Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 to get this watch. While the Galaxy Watch lastest barely a day, I can easily get over 30 days with this one. That is huge for my outdoor lifestyle and not wanting to constantly think about how charged my watch is. I've biked, climbed, played pickleball, and tore seats out of a bus with this thing on and not a scratch. It is so worth it. Just buy it.

Great Watch

This watch has to be one of my absolute favorites. The big reason for this watch was the GPS, battery life, and the solar charging. And Garmin killed it with us watch. It has a ton of additional features that I am trying out now. Highly recommend this watch!

Putting the Smart in Smartwatch
on October 15, 2021
Posted by: Joe Baggadonuts
Depending on the Apps I run, a battery charge is good for weeks. It is lightweight, and comfortable on the wrist. The Connect app is easy to use. The watch face isn't one you can put your photo on, but the data you can have on the watch face is fine.

very good watch for the price point, i only have it for a a couple of days now but to me the app is a very good surprise, it provides a lot of cool data and features i was always looking for, gps shown on map etc. the watch is super light and comfortable on the wrist, compare to my apple watch i had before. i would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a sport watch.
