What buyers actually say

Verified purchase“Great watch for the price. I’ve never had a smart watch before but this watch covers every things I wanted it for. Easy to use and the so is the app so you can configure the watch the way you want it. Good screen quality and there is many nice watch face images to choose from.”
Verified purchase“My aunt and uncle have bought me this watch and I'm really looking forward to using it. I'll receive it in the middle of October when I see them. I was particularly interested in the fact that a number of reviews mentioned they thought it was better than the Apple Watches they'd owned previously.”
