Ratings and reviews

Watch is great. App is horrendous. When syncing, the step count and other data is sometimes only fraction of what was actually covered. It may later catch up on the next sync, or the next day, or not at all! I can see Google Fit is getting its data so it's not my phone or watch. The menu layout is poor as well; I have a social media link (don't care), an offer to buy stuff (don't need), and THEN I have the various settings I do care about, which one has to swipe to see.

Used to work OK (3-4 star territory) but the last few months it has been useless. Won't stay open long enough to connect to my watch. No synch, no alerts, nothing that makes a smart watch "smart." The app says it is compatible with my not-so-new phone, but I'm starting to think that is "marketing puffery."

Eh. I don't like that users **have** to give their location in order to even pair the watch. I don't care about the weather, and I don't care to give my location if I don't want to, or even have to. Sucks because I love my watch. Would be so great if there was flexibility and actual user's choice around this setting— without it impacting the watch being paired completely.
