Good for Cost, Some Features

This Watch has been relatively solid on performance, but gets scratched very easily. I have a great many nicks on mine just because of using it when swimming or something. It has several apps that I use a lot like weather. It’s main problem is that it has issues connecting with my iPhone 13. Some days it connects, some days it doesn’t, which isn’t very helpful. It does have the find phone app (which relieves so much stress), allowing me to make my phone beep if I can’t find it (assuming it connects :/). This Watch is overall pretty good for the price and has an always on display (making it better it some ways than the Apple Watch Series 3), but isn’t great for advanced health monitoring and on quite a few other fronts. Battery life loses 12% a day without always-on display, 28% with always-on display, and my battery hasn’t shown any signs of aging over exactly 2 years (to the day I write this review).

Great software but terrible quality.

The watch itself looks great, has a lot of apps & clockfaces, and the software is top notch. However, the build quality is awful. Between myself and my wife, we've gone through 5 of them. Fitbit support is little help (truth, they replaced 2 for free and gave a 25% discount on another), depending on who you get on what day, you'll get different resolutions to the same problem. Ultimately, each one we had broke within a year, for different reasons, JUST outside/not covered by the warranty. Battery no longer holding a charge for more than a few hours, screen burnt out in the sun, water damage (it's water proof right!?), Screen stopped working, all problems we faced on different devices. One happening after only 2 weeks, which Fitbit said was "unusual" but they wouldn't cover it.
