I was looking for a way to monitor my exercise while outside. I use this for walking and biking. It is nice not to have to wear a chest strap, which I do for home workouts. This watch gives me a lot of information when exercising outside. I also use it when mowing and snow clearing. It gives me steps walked, calories burned, heart rate, O2 levels, body composition and more. When you’re done, it provides charts showing activity and calorie burn levels over time, maximum heart rate and average heart rate, and more. It’s amazing how much information is compiled. You can just wear it every day to get health information for your daily activity. It also monitors sleep, but I don’t use this feature. I get two to three days on battery before having to recharge.
You can install a Wear app on your phone and sync the phone with the watch via Bluetooth. This occurs when you are setting up the watch, which I found to be very straightforward. The watch face is customizable. You can use different faces or modify the default face. Many changes can be made on the phone and then sent to the watch.
What I found cool was that phone calls and texts showed up on the watch. No need to take the phone out of my pocket. It comes with numerous apps installed. For example, compass, weather, contacts, messages, phone, health monitor (can do an EKG), Bixby, stopwatch, gallery, media, Outlook, calculator, voice recorder, google assistant, and payment apps to name a bunch. Watch settings can also be changed on the app. I would recommend downloading the user manual and going through it to learn all the features. The manual can also be accessed in the app.
I wasn’t sure how I would like a smartwatch, but now I’m glad I bought one. The only downside to this model is the thickness, which isn’t a problem for me.
