Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one. I am just wondering if anyone here wears theirs as a watch and how does it perform? Does it stay in watch mode? Can you turn off the screen and then turn it back on to instantly have the time available? Can it does this task reliably, and does battery life play a factor? Any comments, suggestions, and opinions welcome, and thanks in advance. Anyone wear this as a watch??????????????????????? Hi, I am considering wearing mine as a daily watch if I get one.

I do and I don't think that will shorten battery life and you can turn it on and off instantly and it's looks great. Mine is silver nano with a black watchband and i really love itJust buy a iWatch on Amazon you wont regret

Hey Victoria:My son broke his band too probably by tugging too hard when taking the watch off. I'm gonna write to the company now to see if replacement bands are available. Please post if you found another band.Thanks, John

I'm here now is summer, so......But my watch seems normal, I continue to use for 12 hours, it looks all right.In some cases, it will suddenly stop detection for a few seconds, or a sudden increase or decrease heart rate data, but I think it is due to changes of my wearing loose or posture.

I used my watch and its features continuously and the battery lasted 7 months. I always keep a spare with me when I am out for an extended period. Changing takes about 30 seconds. Had to reset time but the rest of the settings remained. The black will wear off with regular use pretty quickly. Still a very durable watch that I recommend. I depended on my watch for many things and it never let me down.

In short...... Yes, it should. In long...... I am a day and well, lets say 3/4's. I'm almost at 2 day's. I got the watch on Tuesday, fully charged it, put it on at 1pm. it has not left me since. I have used it fairly moderately. Made several calls. Tons of txts, Loads of notifications email/gmail/txt/calander/alarms. It has been connected to note 3 the entire time. I did power cycle it one time due to another issue. O, i did take it off for about 20 min while me and my wife got into the Hot Tub (i know its water proof, but didnt wanna risk the heat). While we where in the hot tub, i attached it to charging cradle. So Right now it is 1155 am Thursday, so lets call it a day and 23hours, and i have 70% battery. So in 2 day's with 1 power cycle, and 1 20-25 min charging session, i still have 70%. I think that is very reasonable. Now if i can get the one problem i am having straightened out, i will be good to go.

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's perfectly fine for an everyday watch and has great battery life (over a year) when not in GPS mode. It's not super stylish as it's a sports watch but it can definitely do the trick for both running and daily use.

The watch did not include a replacement battery. I happen to have the manual sitting on my desk and it reads:"Battery replacement will be required from time to time, and should occur whe:-The display fades in part or completely- The Heart Rate function will not activateThe battery life will vary depending on usage of the light and hear rate features(which have high power consumption.We recommend the battery replacement be done by a watch repair service to ensure the water seals are not compromised during the process.The watch uses one(1) standard lithium replacement battery: CR2032."

Best to detach watch band from watch (I didn't) ... lay band flat with arrows on back of band going away from the device that will be pushing the pin out. Be careful to line up the pin that is pushing to the hole in the watch band (try this only on links that have an arrow) .. turn handle to push pin out of the link (if lined up, comes out easily) ... My first pin came out easily, then I broke 4 pins trying to get the next pin out to remove the link, because I didn't have it lined up right. the pins will break if not lined up properly. After getting 2 pins out and removing the link, replace one pin to reconnect the links (push in and then tap in until it is in all the way and you are done. there seems to be another knob on the side that I'm not sure how to use or what the purpose is unless it is to finely adjust the position, so you can line up the pin to push it out. Be patient and be sure to line it up or you will break the pins, like I did. I was cautious with the last one (because I only had one left) and got the job done. If this instruction doesn't help enough, I would suggest searching on-line and you should be able to find a video showing exactly how to use the device to remove this type of watch link.

I'll do my best. When you plug it in, does the watch not recognize that it's plugged in? (screen doesn't turn on/change/etc)? Sometimes I have to plug it in, and mess with it a bit before the screen says "Charging." By messing with it, I mean I essentially unhook it from the prongs, and redo it. If it's a dirt issue, what have you done to clean it? Maybe some of the prongs are being obstructed from the salt from sweat (or other things). Try cleaning it with an eyeglass lens cloth (not tissues as they're paper based and can scratch). Sorry those are my only suggestions. Good Luck :)

i purchased mine this year and no problems with the battery so far, just after every round you play it has to be recharged , now if your just wearing the watch as an every day watch then the battery what i read will last up to 8 moths without a charge but i'm sure there's a 800# you can call if you feel the battery is bad

Are you experiencing that with your watch? If yes you should send it back to be replaced. The battery will last several days on one charge. Mine typically lasts 5 days.

Yeah, no idea! I bought mine and it didn't come with the watch and said it had everything to start using it.......no strap, no watch or other needed device and I have left it sit ever since......WASTE OF MONEY.

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 :)

1. How long does the battery (in the watch) last 3-5 years2. Lap memory is there until you override it with new information.3. Does it tell you too slow/fast? No, it does not pace you.

Hi Meridian,I Started using it as my day to day watch and in after a few weeks I got back to my good old Timex ironman . It is great for running

I wouldn't wear this to work, it's not designed to be a casual watch and it isn't the right size or design for sure. The watch will turn off after a certain amount of time out of the water (20 minutes if I recall correctly).The Suunto D4i and D6i would be better for casual wear.
