I am using my watch to track my steps. So far it is working very well. My only problem is I can't read text messages on the phone.

I've been using this smart watch for about 2 weeks now and like it very much. The features are just what I need and it doesn't break the bank. It's affordable, functional, stylish and I love the many watch faces. The battery life is great, I generally only have to charge it every 5/6 days and it only takes a couple hours. The only downside is it occasionally loses it's connection to the VeryFit app even though the Bluetooth connection is solid. Overall I recommend this smart watch.

I've been impressed by many of the budget-friendly fitness tracker / smart watches on the market right now. A few years ago I was wanting to have some of the fun data that my partner was collecting with her FitBit. Being an iPhone user, the Apple Watch got first consideration but I simply couldn't tolerate such an expensive item potentially needing to be charged Every Single Night... especially because I wanted the sleep tracking like my lady has! I eventually chose a FitBit Sense which was on sale for about half the price of an Apple Watch, but promised 5 days or more of battery life. Honestly, I've never really regretted the decision... though there are some things about the FitBit that could be improved, like the inability to see a notification after it's initial automatic alert, even if you didn't managed to tap it to see the full message! But then lately I found myself wanting something more traditional looking because I always loved watches, and this smart watch caught my eye. Though up close it does have a slightly plastic look, at more than a few feet away the case looks really sharp... to me, at least. Plus you can change the watch face in the VeryFit app, and there are plenty to choose from. The touch screen is bright, responsive, and easy to use -- swipe down and you get watch settings; swipe up for recent notifications that the VeryFit app can be set to push to the watch; left and right get you various activity details and additional apps, which are configurable. And yes, you can scroll back through recent notifications - yay! The rubber/silicon strap is good enough, though a traditional style - not like an Apple Watch. But it feels good and works well. The VeryFit app isn't as refined as the FitBit app, but still does a good job. Fitness tracking seems to be reliable and accurate enough for me. I appreciate that the VeryFit app allows you to pair multiple watches and switch between them automatically... unless you leave more than one watch on at a time, in which case who knows which one your phone will pair with! Battery life is excellent at an easy 5-7 days depending on the number of notifications, whether you have vibration and/or sounds turned on, screen brightness, and so on. Charging to 100% only takes a couple hours too. But then I discovered something... I noticed that with this watch connected to my iPhone using Bluetooth, requests to "Siri" would not complete. The multi-coloured Siri listening blob would hang around for a while and then go away. And then, the watch would restart! Weird, right?! I was advised that a software update would be coming... but I'm beginning to lose hope. Fortunately, I don't ask Siri for a lot of help so it's not a major problem... but BE AWARE of this and buy according to your own usage patterns. If it wasn't for this issue, I would give the watch a full 5-star review. And hoopefully a firmware update will come out and fix the Siri issue in the near future.
