Enjoying my watch so far
on March 2, 2024
Posted by: MaggieLock
I wish the watch was easier to read when running…. Especially in low light hours. I also wish I didn’t have to punch a button to make the face light up to check the time.

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the device. Is it possible to change the backlight setting so that the light comes on when you raise your arm.

Posted by: Bill K. From Buffalo
This is my first running watch. Wanted something simple that could do a lot and it did not disappoint. I especially love that it syncs with my Strava after my runs.

Great in sunlight, too dim
on March 10, 2024
Posted by: Zoltansfl
This has a very specific screen with low power that gives it good battery life. The issue is how dim it is in indoor low light. I definitely need low level readers so this is too difficult to read indoors.
