| Pros | App-rich library, excellent display quality, great health sensors | Excellent display quality, responsive touch screen, easy charging, great call quality | Responsive touch screen, screen quality, charging setup | Excellent battery, nice fitness tracking, large screen | Beautiful design, nice menu layout, fast charging |
| Cons | Poor battery life, poor charging time, auto-adjust brightness | Lackluster app library | Small screen, remedial menu, visibility in the dark | Bulky, poor daytime display | Poor value, subpar battery life |
| Bottom Line | This wearable blew us away with its rich app store that puts the smart in smartwatch | An excellent smartwatch with a great screen, communication, health, and smart features | The little display and remedial menu left us disappointed with this new product line | Biggest of the bunch, this product brings a lot of screen space but maybe not the easiest to use | If you're into it for looks, this is an ok option — just don't expect much more from this wearable |
