Great Watch!
on January 18, 2022
Posted by: Mikayla M
This watch is just what I needed. For years I simply carried my phone in my hand while running and I finally decided to invest in a lightweight GPS watch. It tracks what I need for running (distance, time, pace, heart rate, and more) and it's nice that I can track other activities. I only wear it to track my activities so the battery lasts for weeks without needing charging. Syncs with my phone quickly and downloads via Bluetooth to the app on my phone. I like all the different charts you can examine to get various perspectives on performance.

No complaints at all. I got it for heart rate training, and am really enjoying the sleep monitoring and other features. Really happy with it!

Great running watch

Great for running. Only reason I didn't give it a 10 is I'd suggest some minor UX tweaks to the user interface.

I love that the watch has all the features that I need and at a great price point. The battery life is great. I also love that I get my phone notifications on the watch. I purchased the aqua blue band, I love that it's a pop of color.

The product suites my needs as an athlete. I have taken it biking, cycling, hiking, and put it through a lot. It helped re-define fitness for me allowing for fantastic tracking of my activity. Even when the watch is not connected to the my phone, it stores the activity and syncs once bluetooth connection came back.

This watch is amazing from tracking my workouts to keeping me safe when trail running. I can download maps for my trails prior to working out to ensure that I know where I am going. I highly recommend this product!

Horrible visibility
on March 12, 2025

Got as Christmas gift. Favorite gift became least favorite after more than an hour of adjusting visibility.
Even on 100 percent bright this watch has a blurry and pixelated hard to view screen.
