@ss kickin’ great watch
I’m a trail runner, and I run in extreme conditions in Colorado. If I used maps on a watch, I might choose a more expensive model, but this watch tracks distance, time, and elevation well. I generally upload the info to Strava and look at my maps that way. Getting used to the menus is a PITA, but that’s a technical watch for you. I keep it on battery saver and it lasts pretty well. I did get a rubber cover/protector for the bezel from fleabay and a liquid protectant for the face. Don’t get one of the cheap covers for the face or you won’t be able to see the watch well enough. It notifies me of texts if near my phone, so that’s sometimes nice.

Best upgrade from Apple Watch!!
My Apple Watch broke this last year and I wanted something new. I was recommended this since I’m an active person. It’s great, the battery last me about a week, which is great compared to my old watches that died midway through the day. Very accurate with all the workout, sleep, and other data. Very durable in water and when you accidentally hit something. Understanding how to use it took some time but I love it so much!

Awesome
This was a huge upgrade from my Vivioactive HR. The screens are crisp, buttons and actually working the watch is simple and easy to understand and it performs smoothly without any issue. Connection to my phone is quick and easy and the data for every stat when I run is always accurate. The design of the watch is also smooth and comfortable. But please note, in order to get music onto the watch, there are select apps you may use, and if you choose to use Spotify or Amazon Music, you do require a premium subscription to either one to get full access. It is also possible to transfer files from a desktop to the watch and there are 2 other apps I’ve never used that also work.

Great Watch
I bought this watch to have some more data and listen to music/podacsts without having to carry my phone. I think the watch is great. Your able to download different watch faces and holds hours of music. My only complaint is that it has to many options available. There is a step learning curve to this watch. Wish I was able to delete the options which are not needed.

Love love love
I absolutely love this watch. It has so many features. The find my phone one is one I use an absurd amount. 🫣 It has an option to create workouts on the app then send them to your watch. AND is analyzes what muscles you’re using when you workout! After a good leg day it taddles on me and says I used my lower back too 😬

This smartwatch works well and battery lasts for a good time. The only complication is Music apps that are getting out of sync and takes long time to set it up again, which is very unfortunate when you are about to hit that training.

I started with the Lily 2. While it’s stylish and cute it lacked GPS and wasn’t as accurate so I switched to the Runner. I am also looking to buckle down and get intense with my fitness so I feel the runner will help with that. With the added programs and keeping me on track with my goals.
