This is the first smartwatch that I've owned, so initially I was quite impressed that a little device was capable of tracking so many things, so…
For a minor concern, it seems like the weather function doesn't want to update on its own, so whenever I want the actual temperature to show, I have to go in the app and tap on the temperature there, in order for it to update. I've waited several hours before, just to see if it would end up updating like it was set up to, but it didn't. I guess it's a good thing that knowing what the weather is, isn't the main reason why somebody buys one of these.
I also wish that it could be linked to more tracking apps, outside of just Gloryfit and Google Fit, because neither have the greatest reviews (if there's a way to do that, I don't see it anywhere, and I've thoroughly examined the Gloryfit app (which is a very basic app).
The watch is comfortable to wear, but I have fat arms, so in order for me to position the watch where they say it needs to be placed on the wrist, I find that I'm constantly having to readjust it, to make sure the sensor stays in the right place, because the watch band slides around my wrist, and the instructions specifically say not to put it on too tight, which is what I would have to do to get it to stay in the same place. This is obviously a personal issue, but for a person who is trying to get healthier and lose weight, you would think the manufacturer would consider these things, when designing items that are supposed to fit a certain way (for targeted users, anyway). But in all actuality, I'm guessing that fat people don't make up the majority of their customers.
There are also many times, when I will look to see how many steps I've taken, and it looks to be way more than what it should be, so I'm wondering if it's not somehow thinking that my arm movements are me walking instead. And maybe all of this stuff is normal with these smart watches, but like I said this is the first one I've owned, so it's a new experience for me. I don't gather that it would take a rocket scientist to operate one of these, because it really is quite simple to use. It's when certain features might not be counting correctly, that causes me to second-guess whether or not it's working properly.
It seems to be waterproof, but I take it off when I'm showering, and I've only had it splashed with water when I was washing my hands.
Another thing, if anyone else is wondering like I was, it does have the options to change the clock to 12- or 24-hour time format, temperature reading to either Fahrenheit or Celsius, and to measure pounds instead of kilograms, etc. (in layman's terms, the settings can be changed in the app to accommodate people in the United States, LOL).
