This is an excellent smart watch full stop! It is feature rich at a great price. The face is clear and bright without being too large. It came charged at 95% out of the box. It retains a charge for a full seven days before needing a re-charge. There are a number of faces to choose from. Four came pre-installed, it can hold up to five in memory. You can download dozens of alternatives (perhaps a hundred, I didn't count them). Some require a small fee, but most are free. I spent a day or so with various faces, but fairly quickly decided on one which gives a wealth of information in a well formed display. Once you decide, I find you are comfortable and stick with it. Ironically, it was one that was pre-installed. A health app can be downloaded to your smart phone or tablet to sync up with your watch to keep your data history, similar to fitbit. This watch replaced my fitbit which eventually died after 7 years. That was the F2, which I initially replaced with the F5 but was most annoyed by the lack of a hard button to activate the display. I would be waving my arm around or trying to tap the display which didn't immediately show and in no time one would be drilled down into a menu somewhere and all you wanted was the time or to see your steps. NOT SO WITH THIS UNIT. The hard button works fine and a normal movement with the wrist also activates the display which gives way more info at a glance. I love it way more then my old fitbits. Which by the way the F5 had a faulty strap which kept falling off. I eventually lost it, hence this purchase. The story gets better. When I went to register my watch, I was offered a complimentary band as a new customer. I had expressed a concern that I worried about scratching my watch glass as my job is fairly physical. Anne, the rep for the Konitee service team was very helpful and recommended a band which protects the face from odd bumps, most useful for my line of work. Besides the band, I also received a small charger which I had not expected or asked for. Thank you Anne! A very satisfied customer.
