I’ll give this 4 stars because ultimately I wanted a nice watch to track my steps that synced to my phone and allowed me to get AWAY from my phone in the evenings. This really helps me focus on my kids while keeping my step goal going in the background. A true “health” smart watch wouldn’t quite separate me from the digital world to the degree that this watch does. Along with that, this watch does have nice features like notifying me when specific people are trying to contact me. I find that extremely handy when I depart from my phone. And the watch itself is basic enough that I do get a feeling of being away from it all for a while when I leave my phone behind. Now the one complaint. The watch just plumb goes every haywire now and then. Step counter gets off. The time gets off. The pushers don’t reliably do anything. It’s very odd. It’s an easy fix though. I just have to reset the watch through the app. But I would say it happens every 20 to 30 days. Besides that, the watch does everything I want it to do

I own too many watches. I have mechanical automatics, digital and analog quartz watches, and smart watches. For two years now, this has stayed on my wrist. I do switch to my favorite Seiko diver when kayaking, snorkeling, or scuba diving. I switch to my Garmin GPS-enabled watch when hiking in backcountry. But for daily use, this retired all others... My Bulovas, my Hamiltons, my Seikos, etc... My favorite feature: I love how it filters my cellphone notifications and just quietly vibrates when someone important calls or texts. As a guy that sometimes wants to disconnect from the world, this is a big help. Yeah, we all want the connectivity that our smartphones bring... to a point. A watch that helps disconnect without interrupting the connections you need can really help keep your sanity. Other features of this watch... blahbbidy blah, whatever. They’re great and you can read about them in the description... It’s a great looking time piece with a few connected extras.

Replaced my apple watch and I’m not looking back. I think that the pusher functions and complications should be interchangeable. For example, I need both the timer and date function when I work, but only one can be assigned to the main button which controls the watch face. I don’t see why the timer can’t be assigned to the main button while the date is assigned to one of the pushers - both could still display on the main face depending on which was pushed. Likewise, if the watch has a sub dial, this should equally be allowed to be assigned to the the timer - why must the timer only be on the main face? These changes would allow flexibility of function without losing the simplicity of the design. A complication on my wish list: A chronograph would be great as the watch has no second hand. All in all though, I love this elegant watch, which I understand is completely made by this company from the watch mechanism to the app. I look forward to future updates.
