The app does all it needs to do and that’s really the only positive thing I can say. This part of the review is what I would consider an “important” problem(s). The app gives you the ability to add/download “wallpapers” for your watch but it never gives you the option to remove or disable the default ones. Why get a wallpaper when you can’t set it to be the watches said wallpaper? You just end up making a slideshow on your watch. Another thing is that once you make your own “DIY” wallpaper for the watch you are not able to edit it, so if you mess up you either have to make a new wallpaper adding one more to the wallpaper slideshow on the watch or just factory reset the thing so that you can get it right without having duplicates of the same thing on the watch. Now the rest of the review are just little nitpicks, nothing too serious. The watch appears to be able to use things like Facebook and Messenger but when you tap them there is no option to login, it just says “no messages” if the watch can’t use the apps just remove them. But mainly fix the wallpaper thing!

So let me address a few issues people complain about. First the issue of creating an account and it asking for a credit card, you are responding to an ad that’s designed to look like you need to take another step, you do not and just click the very top to get out of the ad. Second, the issue of the camera, music etc not being seen is you need to be in “dual Bluetooth” mode. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth and they’re will be 2 watch settings, one fir the watch in general and one for the Audio, make sure to link both of them. No watch on earth can give you accurate BP unless it has a cuff so it’s going to be inaccurate. So for the price you are paying it’s a decent watch. My one BIG complaint is the step count, it’s not even close to correct. Yesterday I got 49,000 steps! My Fitbit says I barely got 4,000. I get about 200 steps sleeping! Some things I wish they would correct, the weather shows Celsius even though my settings are correct. The watch faces should be grouped in categories or a search feature so I don’t have to go through a hundred pages just looking for the free ones. The sports modes need to show heart rate also. Better battery life. Other than that it’s a decent watch again for the money. The Apple equivalent is about $500. so don’t expect miracles!

Linked to my iPhone 8 in 30 seconds. App is surprisingly stable. So far. Only real complaint? Imperial units. No one in the US uses metric. Will update in a month. Update - Watch runs well for what I paid for it. That being said, two major complaints. First, the steps counter overestimates by about 60%. At least it’s consistent. Second, the latest update “disappeared” the O2 measurement out of the app. Just gone. Minor complaints. I know it’s not anywhere “medical” quality, but the heart rate is high by about 15%, and erratic. BPM is erratic. And there’s no insight as to what light and deep sleep means as well as the REM (per the watch and app). I think it’s doing a decent job of capturing the total sleep time. That being said, the watch/app has never captured any deep sleep. All light and REM. More aggravating is the watch app misses any sleep before midnight. Only shows sleep midnight forward. In other words if you slept 11pm-7am, app only shows 7 hours of sleep. I dropped the rating a star. They really need to figure out how to do imperial units. And bring back the O2. Final update: ditching the watch and app. O2 is still broken. Sleep data quit updating a month ago. Somehow counts steps when I’m sitting. Battery is now down to a daily recharge. Good luck if your watch and app works for you.
