Nice for the price

This is my first smartwatch so I don't have anything to compare to, but I like the functionality and the looks. I bought this for less than $100 making it a very good value. I received it in perfect condition and complete with the wireless charging cradle. It works pretty much right out of the box, but goes through various upgrades over the first several days which can be a bit frustrating. It took me another week to get used to it and learn the features, but then it eventually morphed into a useful tool reminding me discretely of calendar items, phone calls, letting you read text messages and the first few lines of an email - enough to figure out if something needs attended right away or if it can wait. I have a watch face showing weather tidbits, and battery levels of watch and phone. If you feel like you need to count how many steps you take in a day - it can do that too. The heart rate monitor doesn't work every time on my wrist, but last time I checked it was still beating, so that's OK. I wouldn't use it with a leather band to work out anyways. I first used it on a Droid Maxx and now on a Droid Turbo 2. I couldn't pair it to two phones simultaneously, but that's probably not an issue for most users. Battery life is fine for nightly recharge (after it's done updating it's software). I think this is perfect for trying a smartwatch experience and if you are on the fence, go for it. It's priced right, powerful and plenty stylish to use for just about any occasion. (I am not being paid for this review). Why only four stars? There is a newer version available and probably other and better products out there (if you are willing to pay hundreds more).Read full review
