Ratings and reviews

Overall the app in terms of usability on the mobile improved. However the software on the watch has gotten much worse. It used to be three presets then a long press to pull up the menu. Now its only two presets and the third button just always goes to menu. They also messed with the music playing function making it just so much worse, you used to be able to play pause change volume or track all on one screen. Now you have to long click to pause, only then can you go back to the previous track.

The old version was working fine, but with the new update, all my customized presets are gone, and I can't create new ones. So I can't use any of the buttons on my watch. The connect app keep on getting disconnected. The steps will sometime disappearing and reappearing after a day or two. Not happy with this update, please fix the bugs!

It's a great watch with a very simple interface and app, but having used other fitness trackers (a withings steel in particular) I find it does leave a few things to be desired. While it is nice that it holds two weeks of data without syncing, it would be nice to do away with manual sync altogether. It would also be nice if it kept more thorough track of sleep, since watches that are significantly cheaper keep more in-depth track of how deeply the user sleeps and waking periods.
