Cool, but frustrating.....
I have owned the watch for two weeks. I have an iPhone 12. Initial Impression: I bought this watch because it looks like a watch. i don't like the square smart watches. Also I own multiple Citizen watches and I have enjoyed their quality, time-keeping, and style over the past 15 years. I wore an analog Citizen daily and this seemed like a good transition to the smartwatch world. I love the style and size of this watch. I love the options for bands it comes with. I enjoy that it has multiple analog faces that I can choose from. The screen is bright and easy to read. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. Pros I like the options in app. I like the time-keeping and the wear OS app is generally good along with Google fit. I work out every day and it seems to keep all my stats well. I have been happy with its performance in this regard. Cons Battery life is is frustratingly short. I barely get a day out of it. I want to use some features like tilt-to-wake etc but it drains the battery too fast. I still have not figured out how to get text message notifications on the watch. I have reset it multiple times and read every instruction. The iPhone doesn't seems to mesh well with the watch. The BIGGEST con is that this watch monopolizes my bluetooth. My phone stopped connecting to my car and my bluetooth speaker after connecting to the watch. This is a horrible aspect about this watch and one that quite frankly makes me not want to wear it. I need to turn bluetooth off on the watch and then my phone connects to everything again just fine. I kinda wish I could return it and do more research into a device that worked more seamlessly with my iPhone but that wasn't an Apple Watch.
