5.0 out of 5 stars So Far, So Good!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Packaging is simple and easy to open.The watch itself is just what I wanted. The face is large enough for me to read without my glasses, which has been an issue with several other smartwatches I have tried. The directions to pair and set up the watch are simple. You just upload the app and you are on your way to start the setup. I like the variety of exercises available to track. Indoor running and outdoor running and indoor swimming and outdoor swimming are some of the many options. I like that they differentiate between the exercises with more precision than other trackers I have tried.The price is very reasonable I have spent ten times as much on big name brands that have failed quickly or been so complicated to use that I didn't enjoy them.As far as durability, I have not yet used it while swimming. That will be the true test.It has good features, some free downloads for a variety of clock faces, and some others that can be purchased for a minimal charge.I find it easy to navigate, which is most important for me. Not too complicated. Looks nice, band is comfortable and a very pretty light pinkish/coral color. I have not had it long enough to collect data for sleep tracking.The charging connector is magnetized and snaps into place so you don't have to fiddle with trying to get the charger connected.The display is bright and can be adjusted and the font is readable, even without my glasses, which will be a huge plus when I am in the pool.

Really enjoy this watch.I enjoy swimming and it is great for tracking all exercises.The sleep tracker works great.I like tracking my steps.The watch only needs charging about once a week, so I really like the battery life.

Love this inexpensive watch. I find it so enjoyable.I like the vibrating alarm. Use it every day.I like the sizing.I like the wrist band. Beautiful color the rose pink / natural color, it goes with everything as it's basically skin color and it looks amazing business or casual.Battery lasts for days. I simply charge it while in the shower once or twice a week and that's it. I've never dipped below 60% battery.The app is pretty good and easy to use.I use it for basics, heart rate monitor, steps counter, minimal bells and whistles while still being smart, sleep tracking, alarm time keeping. I abhor the watches that have all the calls and texts and notifications integrated. I do not want that on my wrist all the time. I do not connect my texts or calls to my wrist watch. Nor the music. Just fitness and alarms and sleep.Like that it has a bit of personalization (can upload a photo background or get a colored wrist band).Pretty accurate step count.Cons or things I did not like:- Watch disconnects from phone app a lot; Bluetooth appears unstable. Or is that you have to re synch and connect it every time you use the app.- extremely dislike the way the sports features are implemented. This is really my only major con. It's really stupidly done. It is not intuitive and no explanation as to how to end the sports mode while using it, like if you step off the treadmill or whatever. Also, whatever they tell you about it being a smart watch recognizing your activity is bullshit. It doesn't. You have to manually track it.But that's not what I use it for. I am not really tracking my activity besides steps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT count steps!

M. · February 6, 2024

I wanted a watch that I could use at my local pool where I walk that would count my steps and tell me if I had a text or phone call while I was in the pool, since I can't take my phone in the water.It is not very user friendly and the instructions come printed in a very light mint green which is pretty, but hard to read. Once you download the app and get it started then you can access a file that has some instructions, this time in black. Some instructions. Again, not user friendly, it doesn't fully explain itself. The app wants you to subscribe to a monthly plan, but I declined and just used the free version. The watch is large and not the most comfortable to wear. You have to keep it one finger width away from your hand but it felt very large. If it had worked I probably would have gotten used to it.You can change the watch face, and in the app you can tell it where you live and the watch will tell you the time and weather. It handled the pool really well and told me if I had a text or phone call.What it doesn't do is tell you how many steps you take. It'll remind you to walk more, so you get up and walk around, and it doesn't recognize the movement. I thought that maybe it was just user error so I asked my techie husband to see what I was doing wrong. He tried for 2 hours to get it to work, even wearing it and moving at different speeds around the house. Nope. It wouldn't work for him either.So I am sending this back to Bolo, and I'm grateful that they have such good customer service.

I’ve had this watch a little over a year and now it stopped keeping time. Super irritating when you’re dependent on punctuality with medications. So disappointing
