The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays are formed of organic materials that emit light. They have higher contrast ratios and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. AMOLED and POLED are types of OLED displays.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
Damage-resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.
Gorilla Glass is one of the most popular brands of chemically strengthened glass, manufactured by Corning. Several versions have been developed, the newer ones being more durable and providing better damage resistance.
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.
The watch band is removable and can be replaced by any standard watch band of the correct size, allowing you to customise it to your liking.
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
Sensors
Your blood oxygen level is a measurement how much oxygen is reaching your muscles. It is important because low levels mean that you will become easily fatigued during exercise. The more exercise you do, the better your blood oxygen levels will become.
A heart rate monitor can help show your fitness levels, enabling you to calculate a suitable intensity of exercise.
GPS enables global positioning, useful in map, geo-tagging or navigation apps.
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
With a temperature sensor you can monitor changes in temperature to measure your exertion levels and avoid hyperthermia.
A compass is useful for gaming, maps, and navigation software.
This measures barometric air pressure. It can predict weather changes, for example a sudden drop in air pressure could mean a storm is coming. When calibrated correctly it can be used to determine altitude, which helps GPS devices to lock on quicker and with greater accuracy.
A gyroscope is a sensor that tracks the orientation of a device, more specifically by measuring the angular rotational velocity. Initially, they were built using a spinning rotor to detect changes in orientation, like twisting or rotation.
A cadence sensor measures the number of pedal revolutions per minute when you are cycling. It enables you to monitor how fast you are pedaling.
Activity tracking
It can track your sleep, such as how long you sleep for and the quality.
It tracks how far you travel.
It tracks how many steps you take throughout the day, allowing you to see how active you have been.
This is useful if you are on a strict training diet or if you are trying to lose weight. It can also help to boost your motivation.
Measuring pace shows how much time it takes to travel one kilometer or one mile. For example, in running, a 4 minute kilometer would be a very good pace.
Your activity data is analysed to give you reports, available to view through the app or website. This allows you to see how active you have been and to help you make improvements.
Your sleep data is analysed to give you a report, available to view through the app or website. This allows you to see the quality of your sleep and to help you make improvements.
The device automatically detects when you start an activity such as jogging, saving you from entering it manually at a later time.
With a route tracker you can add your route onto a map. It is helpful if you plan to do the same route again, or want to share it with your community.
Connectivity
It is compatible with a range of iOS devices such as iPhones, iPads and the iPod Touch.
It is compatible with a range of Android devices such as smartphones and tablets.
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
ANT+ is a wireless protocol similar to Bluetooth Smart, and is very power efficient. It is mainly used for fitness monitoring devices such as heart rate monitors and cadence sensors to connect to other devices (e.g., sports watches, smartphones, and cycling computers).
The device syncs all of your data wirelessly, without the need for cables.
The device automatically syncs your data when in range of your computer or smartphone.
NFC (near-field communication) allows a device to perform simple wireless transactions, such as mobile payments. Note: this feature may not be available in all markets.
Devices that use cellular technology can connect to mobile networks. Cellular networks have much wider signal coverage than Wi-Fi.

The device has a feature that allows you to find your smartphone if you have misplaced it.
The device alerts you to incoming calls on your smartphone, and allows you extra control such as muting or rejecting the call.
If you get a notification such as a call or message, the device will vibrate on your wrist or make a noise to alert you.
Through continuous heart rate monitoring, the device is able to detect an irregular heartbeat and alert the user.
ECG stands for electrocardiogram and measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat, which is a more in-depth reading of heart health than blood pressure alone. Note: This feature may not be available in all markets.
The device can wake you using vibration, so as not to disturb anyone else sleeping in the room.
Vibrating alerts have a variety of uses, such as interval training.
Fall detection is a feature that relies on accelerometers and other sensors to differentiate between regular movement and a fall. If the wearer falls, the device can perform functions such as sounding an alarm or displaying an alert.
Miscellaneous
You can listen to your own music when working out. This can make exercising more enjoyable and motivate you to push yourself further.
You can download the app for free, from platforms such as Google Play or the App Store.
You can add widgets to the home screen. This allows you to have more flexibility and to see information at a glance, without going into the app.

Good for Cost, Some Features

This Watch has been relatively solid on performance, but gets scratched very easily. I have a great many nicks on mine just because of using it when swimming or something. It has several apps that I use a lot like weather. It’s main problem is that it has issues connecting with my iPhone 13. Some days it connects, some days it doesn’t, which isn’t very helpful. It does have the find phone app (which relieves so much stress), allowing me to make my phone beep if I can’t find it (assuming it connects :/). This Watch is overall pretty good for the price and has an always on display (making it better it some ways than the Apple Watch Series 3), but isn’t great for advanced health monitoring and on quite a few other fronts. Battery life loses 12% a day without always-on display, 28% with always-on display, and my battery hasn’t shown any signs of aging over exactly 2 years (to the day I write this review).

Great software but terrible quality.

The watch itself looks great, has a lot of apps & clockfaces, and the software is top notch. However, the build quality is awful. Between myself and my wife, we've gone through 5 of them. Fitbit support is little help (truth, they replaced 2 for free and gave a 25% discount on another), depending on who you get on what day, you'll get different resolutions to the same problem. Ultimately, each one we had broke within a year, for different reasons, JUST outside/not covered by the warranty. Battery no longer holding a charge for more than a few hours, screen burnt out in the sun, water damage (it's water proof right!?), Screen stopped working, all problems we faced on different devices. One happening after only 2 weeks, which Fitbit said was "unusual" but they wouldn't cover it.
