Hard to connect with phone

I got this watch for Thanksgiving and till haven't got it to work right yet. I downloaded 3 things from the App Store and till don't work

Meh.

Bluetooth connectivity distance is lower than expected, and charging requires extremely bright light. Watch looks nice on my wrist, though. Cell phone app needs improvement.

Nice watch!

I bought this watch as a Christmas present for myself, and could not be happier.

It is a wonderful watch.

I am excited to have an outstanding watch! It is definitely worth every dollar.
