We purcahsed two of these watches. One for myself and one for my Wife. They weigh almost nothing. Once we have them on, you almost forget they are there because they are so thin and lightweight. There is a display function you can turn on or off that allows either a digital or analog clock face to show all the time once the watch face goes to sleep. There are TONS of watch faces to choose from, including ones for all the major Holidays. We get notifications from our iPhones and my understanding is, you get them also if you have an Android. The OLED display is crisp and bright. We find keeping the screen brightness at about half way is bright enough since it is OLED and helps save the battery life. We turn off the Screen Clock each night as we go to bed so the constant clock does not wake us up. There is a function in the app called Quick Display that will turn on the watch display when you raise your arm, but we turned that off also or the display comes on once in bed also. If we need to see the time once in bed, we simply tap the button on the side. The display has various time length you can set for how long you want it to stay on once it is awake.
The heart and SPO2 monitors work like a charm. You need to to give them about a week to gather data and adjust to you. As with ANY watch that monitors these things, you need to make sure the watch is snug on your wrist so the sensor gets a proper reading, but the watch is so thin, right weight and the band is soft enough, we no longer even notice we are wearing them.
The steps, exercise and sleep monitors are fantastic and work great. Remember once on the watch face, swipe left to right to see all the watch functions.
Once on the watch face, swiped down to get to the control panel and here you will see the brightness and the Settings functions. Once in settings, you can turn the Screen Clock on/off or to Digital or analog face. Some people may not want it on to save battery, but I find the analog uses less battery.
Watch Faces – You can download many different watch faces, one at a time, by opening the app on your phone, selecting the “Watch” icon at the bottom and then select “Watch Faces.” Make sure and force it to keep scrolling down. It will need to load more each time you get to the bottom.
What we DON’T like. You can only download one watch face at a time. There are 8 existing watch faces you can’t change. I wish you could replace the existing watch faces with ones you download. Also, we would like to be able to favorite watch faces and it would put them to the top, so it would be simple to pop into the app, select a favorite, download it and start using it.
I get notifications for everything EXCEPT text messages. Not sure why not. MY Wife does on her’s.
Over all, we would purchase again.
