Ratings and reviews

Inaccurate, intrusive, and uncomfortable. This is one of the more disappointing things that I've worn in my lifetime. I bought this to mainly use as a sleep monitor, but rarely does it let me access any of the info it tracks. The app and the device seem to be on completely different pages. If you are reading this, and thinking of getting one for yourself.. don't.

Excellent except for sleep tracking. I installed beta and it's just as good as before-- no complaints. I love all of the exercise related views. But regarding sleep, I don't know if it's the watch model or the app, but the tracking is terrible compared to my old Fitbit. I'll lay in bed awake for an hour, with decent movement, and it will say I was sleeping. I woke up today, was moving a lot in bed and it said 30 minutes of REM.

Started using a few weeks ago, it's mostly intuitive but still figuring some things out. One thing that would be helpful is to change the color (or make it so the user can change the color) in some if the tracking features. For example 'awake' and 'REM' are really similar colors and are difficult to differentiate in the sleep tracking chart.
