Does it work good as an everyday watch?

No. It is a great running watch only. I am currently training for a marathon- and after 2-3 runs (of about 1-2 hours)n I will have to recharge the watch. I have tried turning it off to extend battery time- however, it doesn't make that much of a difference. With that said, if you don't mind charging the phone every night, you could use it during the day (minus using the GPS portion) - but that is the caveat.

Yes. However, you would have to recharge the battery at least once every two weeks or so. Maybe even more often that that if you decide on using it to keep track of your runs. It does have a rechargeable battery, which is nice!

Technically you could use it as a watch, but I don't recommend it as a primary time keeper (for everyday use). The battery won't stay charged forever. You'll need to take it off and charge it every few days. My wife used it a couple of times in a pinch where she couldn't immediately find her regular watch, and not having something on her wrist was driving her nuts, so she wore her Garmin. She needed to charge it, but she eventually found her normal watch.

That will be the least of your problems.The design is poor. It's difficult and sometimes impossible to connect to the website.I suggest getting a Groman GPS watch, a much better investment.

I can't really answer that because I didn't wear it often. I didn't find it to be that user friendly so I went back to using my Polar watch w/ heart rate monitor. You may want to ask other purchasers and/or do a customer review search to get a better cross section of opininos.

When I worked at Starbucks it was my main watch. Was great being able to check texts, emails, tweets while at work without anyone really noticing. Many customers gave me compliments. But now at my new job, I am afraid to bang the watch against a rack or heavy item (work at a manufacturing warehouse). I do use it on the weekends the entire day and I also use it as my main alarm (wrist vibrates) on weekdays so that I don't wake up my wife with my loud phone alarm. Am looking to upgrade to newer version soon!

this is what I was wondering too, I am going to be wearing this all day every day and it would just be easier for me to be able to wear it as a watch. have you found any success through experimentation?

It did for me. But after a few months of using it daily, it did wear out and wouldn't register my heart rate well at all. The band was fine, just the monitor itself wouldn't work well.

OMG I've had the Smart watch since early December and I wear it like almost everyday...so I charge it up at the beginning of the day like 6am. I work 12hr a day and it has never died before my shift actually it last longer than I expected. I text all day also. So if it last a text savy person like myself I'm sure you will love it. I do :)

Yes. If design and color are not a factor, then by all means go for it. It is not bulky like g shock watches

Hi, let's be clear. This is NOT a phone. This is a watch that connects to your phone through bluetooth and reflects some of the phone features in it.

No, this watch is essentially the bluetooth headset. That would be like pairing a bluetooth headset to another headset. Nothing accomplished there.

Yeah it is, for everyday normal it's great! I wouldn't try running with it though. The case is the main feature of this item.

It would be fine for everyday use. Of course you need to wear the strap. But it is comfortable and easy to get used to. It has a low (flat) profile. Others will not know you have it on. I have worn it while playing golf.

Not at all! It feels like a regular watch with no irritation or any other issues. I really like it.

Not certain about its compatibility (check the link below), but I do know that it is only a very basic watch unless it is blue-toothing to your phone. When it is talking to your phone, it is the most powerful watch ever, because it can control the power of your phone from your wrist. I like running and I want all the info - heart rate, distance, cadence, etc etc. My iPhone does this but then I have to carry it in my hand or wear it on my arm. With the echo I can leave the phone in my pocket with the display off to save battery and see all the info on my wrist.

Yes the heart rate monitor only works when you touch the face, I would not recommend this watch for regular monitoring of the heart. It's designed for working out. I suppose if I felt my heart felt a bit irregular I might think to use this as a guide line or idea, but certainly would follow up with a true medical device or my doctor. I have been extremely satisfied with this watch for working out, but if I needed something to monitor my heart rate for medical purposes I would not use this watch. Hope this helps
