I really wanted to love this watch. It’s very cute, fun to wear, lightweight and comfortable. I also like the fact that I could customize the watch face witha lot of different options.
I really had high hopes… as the reviews were all pretty positive and I spent a lot of time looking at different options.
On a positive note, one of the main reasons I chose this particular watch was because of its size and shape. I wanted something small that wasn’t going to take up half of my arm with tech gear- something stylish, simple and sleek. This watch checked those boxes- although the gold part definitely looked and felt pretty cheap during closer inspection- but who’s really looking that close anyway, right? So for looks, feel and size, I’d give it 5 stars for sure.
Unfortunately, the rest of the watch is another story. I wasn’t looking for a lot in a smart watch- something to track my steps, heart rate, etc. and something that would notify me of calls and texts while I was at work and unable to get to my phone a lot of the time. Just in case of emergencies or issues with my elderly grandma or my kids.
So this watch seemed like a great option.
However, the step counter was wildly inaccurate – and this is after inputting my height, weight and stride length into the app. – the “voice assistant” was able to make calls but only from my phone, which was no use to me if I was trying to do it from my watch. If I wanted to use my phone I’d just use it… I also saw on my listing, in the photos, it showed the option to answer phone calls on the watch as well as to reject them or send them to voicemail- none of those options were available when I received calls, except the reject option, which didn’t even send the call to voicemail. The text message option through voice command was only available if my phone was unlocked – again completely defeating the purpose of using the watch to do it in the first place.
Then, on top of all that, the watch faces kept randomly alternating between different ones that I never selected, with no rhyme or reason at all.
The battery also drained super quickly.
But I’ll share some photos of the watch so it helps people see how it fits and the general look of it- as that was one of the positive aspects. The screen was also bright, colorful, clear and easy to navigate.
