Great for what I was looking for
Edit: I've had and used the watch for over a year now. Only noticeable degradation has been with the bluetooth connectivity. Used to have no problems with music skipping or sounding choppy. In the last 6 months, its gotten quite a bit worse with multiple skips (~500ms) per song. No issues with music when connected to my phone, so it isn't the headphones.
Original review:
I was looking for a smartwatch that could download spotify playlists, connect to bluetooth headphones, GPS tracking during runs / hikes, long battery life, and a fast non-laggy touch screen interface. Been wearing the watch for about a week now, here are my impressions thus far:
-Connecting the watch to my phone and wifi to download my spotify playlists was fairly easy and didn't take much time.
-I use a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds for headphones. Pairing them with the watch was extremely easy.
-When playing music from the watch, there are almost no issues with connectivity. Over the course of 1.5hrs, I'll maybe have a few milliseconds where the music is choppy. Almost not worth mentioning but wanted to in case others are having issues.
-GPS tracking so far seems to be great, no issues here.
-Battery life when not listening to music is great. Often only uses up 5-8% over a 10-12 hour period.
-Battery life when listening to music and connected to bluetooth headphones could be better. Over a 2 hour period of listening to music I saw the battery drain ~30%. Good enough for me, but could be better and is the reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.
-Touch screen is very responsive and I have not had any issues with lag at all.
-The watch has a ton of features and a lot of applications / widgets. It can be a little overwhelming at first trying to navigate but within an hour of first wearing the watch, I felt comfortable with where everything was.
