Ratings and reviews

Only gets 2 stars because you can update most features of the watch via the app. However, it loses 3 because of how annoying the app is. Your max time the app will allow the watch to stay connected is 10 minutes, so unless you leave the app running and check it every 10 minutes it will disconnect. This would not be an issue, as I only want to connect to upload my steps. Yet, the app will continue to send you notifications to connect all day long, as well as keep running in the background.

It syncs settings and the time to my watch just fine. I don't like the fact that the UI is clunky and feels like a magazine advertisement. It also does not sync with Google Fit. The watch tech comes from Polar, an expert in wearable fitness monitors, but the app does not sync with Polars app. This is a big miss as well.

The app is buggy, difficult to understand, and frequently very delayed in updating information. Also, the sleep quality Evaluation is very good but always shows on the day you went to sleep instead of showing the results on the day you woke up. The heart rate can be set to "always on" but then requires you to set the watch to heart rate or it doesn't seem to capture.
