1. My favorite features are being able to view data from calories burned to hours of rem sleep, saved workouts, stress levels and daily average stress, graphs related to this data, and more.
2. At least make me aware of what settings I need to change to fix this annoyance, if there are any.Pros ..Display for all the data collected from the watch is wonderful.
3. Basically, the app is stuck in the early 2010s and needs a a modern refresh.The only major gripe I have is that when I use my watch to find my phone when it's missing, the alarm notifying me where it is proceeds to go off again 3-4 more times after I've found the phone.
4. Edit: couldn't get over CONS, gave watch to husband.I think the app just "works", and the breakdown of training level and other tidbits is helpful.
5. You can't bypass it, but why make it a mandatory step for sign up? .. there's no activity time edit similar to sleep data.
6. It would make it more streamline if both or all time measurements could be edited the same.So I'm a former Fitbit user and while I like the app, it does lack a few "user interface" things that I prefer on fitbit.
7. So, fitbits user interface is extremely streamlined with the various different features it has, but it really lacks details because the Fitbit itself is a simple device.
8. But it's such a chore having to manually input exercises (I really should be able to input Barbell Squat and find it, Garmin), and the UI has so many confusing menu options that it's hard to know where to look for an option.
9. Extremely frustrating when you spend nearly $200 for a smart watch, that you can't use all the functions it's designed forIt's good.
10. I like that you can change the watch face through the app, however that too, takes a while to sync.
11. My phone recognized the watch via straight Bluetooth connection and it registers on the watch.
