After 2 weeks of daily use, here's my honest take on this feature-packed smartwatch that costs less than most premium brands.
The Good: The 1.47" screen is surprisingly crisp for the price - I can actually read notifications without squinting! The lightweight design (barely notice it during workouts) and 5-7 day battery life make it perfect for my active lifestyle. The blood oxygen and stress tracking became my morning ritual during hectic work weeks.
Real-World Testing: During a 5K run, the step counter matched my phone's GPS within 3% variance - impressive for optical tracking. The vibration alerts for texts kept me from constantly checking my phone (though call notifications sometimes lag). Shower-proof? Confirmed - survived my post-workout rinses with no issues.
Pain Points: The band attachment is needlessly fiddly - took me 3 tries to properly secure it (pro tip: listen for the audible click). Sleep tracking occasionally misread my reading-in-bed time as light sleep. The companion app, while functional, feels like it's stuck in 2018 design-wise.
Who's It For? Perfect for budget-conscious users who want 80% of premium features at 40% of the cost. Not ideal for hardcore athletes needing military-grade precision, but absolutely delivers for casual fitness tracking and smart notifications.
Final Verdict: 4/5 stars - punches way above its weight class with minor quirks. At this price point, it's the best 'gateway' smartwatch I've tested this year.
