Fantastic watch if you keep your expectations realistic.
If you purchase this sixty dollar watch expecting all the features of an apple or galaxy watch you will be disappointed. But for the price, this watch is amazing. It is more of a fitness band disguised as a watch. But this thing has messaging notifications, pretty accurate heart rate tracking and insane battery life. The touch screen is very responsive, the two button interface is pretty straightforward, and the watch itself seems solidly built. The watch bands are 19mm and user replaceable. As a matter of fact it comes with a quick release band, very easy to change. Another plus is the screen. It is back-lit, but also trans-reflective, so it is perfectly view-able on direct sunlight. And the durability of the watch feels very good.There are a couple of negatives. First, you can receive and read texts from most messaging apps, identified by by which app sent them, but you cannot respond to messages from the watch or see photos.. Not even pre-programmed responses are allowed. You can answer or decline calls, but not talk to or from the watch itself. There are only a few watch faces, and neither of them are great or bad looking. Lets just say they are usable. And finally the material around the screen seems like some kind of aluminum and is very easily scratched. This is the one thing I am worried about, because since I received this watch It has become my daily driver.Bottom line, for the price, I think this is a steal.

Sleep and heart rate monitors are nice, step count accuracy and watch faces are potential issues
I've had the watch for a little over 5 days now. Overall, I like it, but there are some issues.Let me preface this by saying that this is the first fitness and/or smart watch that I've ever used, so an issue relating to step count accuracy may be typical of a device worn in the wrist. I do have a Fitbit One, which is not a watch but a device about the size of a USB flash drive and is typically clipped to the top of your shirt or kept in your pocket. I keep mine in my pocket, which I think provides a more accurate location from which to count steps, considering that it moves along with my leg as opposed to my arm.During these past 5+ days, I've used both devices simultaneously. By the end of the day, the count for this watch is typically around 2/3 of the count of the Fitbit, though that doesn't quite tell the whole story. Walking around in my house and doing other lower impact activities, the discrepancy is even worse, with the Fitbit counting close to twice the number of steps. During higher impact activities, such as sustained walking, especially at a faster pace, the count is much closer. This leads me to believe that walking style, specifically how much you swing your arms, has a significant impact on step count accuracy. As I have never used any other wrist-worn fitness tracker, I don't know if this is typical of such devices or whether this watch is simply less accurate. I'm disinclined to downgrade my rating based on this uncertainty as well as my awareness of the issue, which allows me to compensate.My Fitbit One is used pretty much exclusively to count steps. It doesn't really do a whole lot more. However, I don't always want to have a device in my pocket. Sometimes it's more convenient to have something on my wrist. At the same time, I already own a watch (not a fitness tracker, but a solar-powered outdoorsy watch that has other features I like), and I like wearing that one when I go out. The bigger issue with the Fitbit, though, is that it can't get wet. I like to Kayak and row a boat. I can input an activity into my Fitbit account, but I can't carry the device to and from the water, so I'm missing steps. This watch could potentially solve that issue as it's safe to take in the water. Of course, there are caveats. You can't take it in hot water, so no hot showers or hot tubs. You also can't take it in salt water, so no using it in the ocean.I'm not a power-user when it comes to devices like this, so I really have no interest in the fitness-based features that this device includes, and I didn't even bother to test them since I'm never going to use them. So from a fitness standpoint, all I care about is counting steps. The Fitbit One does it better, but there are situations in which I'd use this watch over that device.This watch has a few other features, though, that I really like. This watch connects to an app on your phone (it is extremely easy to bind them and use the app). In that app, you can access sleep data. The data tells you how much you slept on a given day and how much of that sleep was deep sleep and how much was light sleep. While I can't say whether the amount designated as light versus deep is accurate, I've found the total sleep recorded to be very accurate. I absolutely love this feature. I'm not doing anything with the data; I simply find it interesting.The watch also monitors your heart rate. While I don't have anything to compare this to in regards to data accuracy, the numbers have seemed reasonable, but I'd have to have it checked by verifiably accurate means before I could say for certain. Still, I like the feature.It also provides some basic local weather data, which is nice.Further, the battery life seems pretty good. After 5 1/2 days of use, the battery indicator says there is 56% left.There are some things I'm not as keen on, though. For one, the weather data isn't always available, and sometimes it tells me to connect to the app, so it seems like the connection could be a little flaky. It hasn't been enough to really bother me at all, though.Additionally, I should, theoretically, be able to do a movement and have the screen turn on (it's off when you aren't interacting with it, which provides its own sort of aesthetic look, I guess). However, it pretty much just turns on randomly when I move around. Rarely can I get it to turn on when I want it to turn on simply by making a gesture. I have to press one of the two buttons. Further, if you aren't directly interacting with the screen, it goes dark very, very quickly. I wish it lingered just a slight bit longer. Ideally, I'd flick my wrist to quickly check the time, but that doesn't really work, which annoys me. Sometimes I'll catch it turn on and look at the time because I don't want to waste an opportunity to get a quick check without putting in extra effort.My one other gripe about the watch has to do with the available watch faces. There are four choices. Two of them are digital, the other two are analog (hands on a clock). For quickly checking time, digital is a much more efficient method of delivery, so I want to use a digital face. Hands may be more classical and aesthetically-appealing, but I'm not wearing a watch for fashion. I wear a watch for its utilitarian purpose, and digital is simply superior. The problem here is that I don't really like either of the two digital faces. What's more annoying, though, is that the analog faces provide more information. Having the watch tell me the percentage of power remaining is better than a graphical battery meter where you have a bar that decreases as the battery power gets used but no numbers associated. The analog faces include the percentage. The digital faces include the meter. Also, the analog faces include the step count and, I think, calorie count. The digital faces include neither. I do not understand this. The digital faces have more room than the analog faces to give you all of this information, but they simply don't. I find this irritating. If I want to see my step count, I have to swipe to a different screen. If I used an analog face, though, I would not have to. I do not understand why they made these needlessly poor choices.All in all, I think I'm inclined to continue to use both devices while at home, but when I'm out, I will probably keep the Fitbit on me as it's a better step counter, and I'll probably wear my regular watch as I can always check the time simply by glancing at it, which I can't do with this watch. However, if I'm planning to engage in a more rigorous activity or go in the water, I'll take this watch as it provides me with both a heart rate monitor and water resistance.

Great bang for the buck
My family has been using Umidigi phones for the past few years and this product follows suite with them. Basically you get a device that works mostly as advertised, has terrific battery life, and for the price the build quality is just fine.What I've learned with Umidigi is they don't always advertise with complete honesty (their BISON rugged phones aren't particularly rugged and they certainly aren't waterproof) and don't expect them to honor any warranty.I've had my watch for two weeks now and just charged it earlier today from it's first full drain. The step counter seems to be accurate, and more stingy than my wife's galaxy watch (when we're doing the same thing her watch gives her about 30% more steps). I'm not sure I buy into the whole sleep monitoring function of smart watches but this does seem to pretty accurately track my go-to-bed and get-out-of-bed times and has a graph of when I'm supposedly in REM sleep and not.The only things it's missing that I might like to have is an accurate pulse oximeter and internal storage for mp3s so I wouldn't have to bring my phone along for workout sessions.Overall, like almost all of my Umidigi purchases, I'm happy with the product as I think it's a great value for the price.

Great watch so far but...
The watch is nice. It does everything I need it to do. Steps, calories, sleep, alarms. It tracks a variety of workouts like indoor bike, rowing, HIIT, etc. The battery life is around 7-10 days. The app is straightforward.My issue is that my charger arrived defective and the company just says, "sorry, we don't sell them separately". Well, it would be nice if they just sent me a new charger then, no? It is a proprietary charger so I can't just find a replacement for it elsewhere. I'm annoyed that when i charge it i have to wiggle it and check to see if the defective pin has made a connection every few minutes. Not ideal when you want to charge it at night to use the next day.
