I waited for a while to make this purchase. But I am so glad that I finally did. This watch is great. The larger screen is awesome along with all of the capabilities. Love this watch and would recommend to anyone.
The watch itself is nice, light weight and a useful tool. Unfortunately the daily battery life has decreased Now having worn it for 3 1/2 hours this morning it is down 25%. When it first arrived i was getting 36 to 48 hours of battery life, now it is under 24. There is no way I can "sleep" with it on or it would be out of power.
