Flexible Activity/GPS watch
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: Fish38
I bought this as a replacement for another watch with a dead battery. The former watch had a good visible color display in daylight. I wasn't sure how the monochrome display would compare but it is very visible in daylight. We are at a point of the year where I can't comment on solar charging but without a lot of daylight activities the battery is only losing about 6% a day with the watch face I have selected. I love the flexibility of the watch. I wish you could select different watch faces in sleep mode as I typically just need a good visible time. That is a minor complaint.

I have had this about 3 weeks to a month and only thing is it doesn't seem to do any better with the solar charge than my old Garmin, Still need to charge at least once a week

So Far a 5 Star

There are so much features. Too overwhelming to learn at once. I'll learn as I need.:) my only issue so is the display. It's hard to read sometimes, but then again, I don't think I'd get 21dats of battery life if it was super bright and brilliant

Returned….could not use
on December 19, 2023
Posted by: Trpa
I tried to figure this watch out for 2 weeks before returning it. Between my husband and I, we spent many hours. He is an engineer and I am a PHD….we are usually good at these things. We watched you tube videos, read the manual. Not intuitive or user friendly at all

Had it now for a couple weeks, seems very durable so far, amazing battery life, and really useful features for health tracking. Looking forward to using it more

At the beginning it felt weird but because i never had a bulky watch before, once i got used to it i have to say its been great, love everything about it, im a very active person and have to say battery does run out quite quick and the solar does not make a difference, but apart from that great device!
