I'm not a smartwatch fan, but I do dig this one. It track steps/HR/sleep/workouts but it also will give me simple notifications from my phone. I can even decline calls without pulling out my phone. But it looks for the most part like a regular watch. I'm finding it to be a compromise that works for someone who doesn't need all the whistles and bells of an Applewatch or whatever.
As a follow up on this, I have ended up sending it in for warranty repair/replacement. The e-ink display has lost contrast and is pretty much impossible to read. Doing a bit of googling this is not an uncommon failure. It's disappointing but it looks like this isn't quite ready for primetime.
