I also have small wrists so it was awesome to get feedback from another woman with small wrists. Thanks for sharing the details about the red-light flashing and the option for leather or nylon wrist bands as well. Great review- thanks for sharing!
Oohhh! Love that "find my phone" feature! Learned something new! I am sure I will use that often!
thanks for the straight-forward review! you have me sold!
This was a great review. The other reviews focus so much on fitness applications that daily use of other common watch features are missed. Thanks!
Thank you, you have covered the most feature that I am looking for, now time to buy it
Very helpful content including stuff you don't find elsewhere, like the lug-to-lug distance. Men and women don't necessarily focus on the same details in reviews.
Thanks for the review! It was super helpful.
excellent introduction.. thank-you Becky
Beautiful watch and useful review
Awesome review Becky 😊
Thanks for the info Becky! 😃👍🏻⌚👊🏻

Thx for the good music!...👍😊
Where did u buy the pink leather band?😍
Is it comfortable on your wrist? I see it has a convex back. Worried it will dig into my bony wrist... Great video btw.
I love your pink leather band but can't find it anywhere. Both your links go to the black nylon band. TIA!
where can you get that watch you hav? and dos it come whith black and gold ??
Awesome review, and nice to see non-sponsored honest info. What I haven't really been able to fully identify, is what can be done without your phone in your pocket? I assume the maps, heartrate and environmental information is still updated without it? Thanks for the info!

Depends on the model. Mine can do maps, GPS, and pre-loaded music away from the phone. Temperature is gleaned from the phone connection, but altitude and biometrics are on the phone.

@@BeckyStern exactly like my wrist! I'm a little afraid to be discomfortable during sleep! I'm undecided between the 245 music and 6S! Thank you very much for your help! Keep up with the great videos!
I'll get to use it.
Thank you for the review. How is the battery life. I know it’s depends on the apps you are using such as gps, listening music etc. but if you would guess how often you need to recharge it with daily using.? TIA

Hi! Thanks for this helpful review. Have you slept in this watch? Is it too bulky to sleep in? Thanks!

Yep, it's ok. The red light distracts me a little.
May I ask how big is your wrist? My wrist is 14 cm, so I am not sure if this is too big for me or not.
Where did you get that charging port cover from? Mine is always getting gunked up, that’s a great idea

Hi Becky, a little over 4 months. Are you still happy with it? I have the Samsung Gear and am super happy with it, but I gotta charge it daily because it won't make it through the second day. Any new pros/cons or have any failures? Thanks!!

I wore it for months before making this review. Charge lasts about 4 days with my usual use. It's a bit thick but otherwise I'm happy.

I was marginally interested in this ... until I found the price ... holy cow. I wouldn't put something on my wrist that cost that much. I refer to my watches/fitness tracker as wrist protectors, as they stop my wrist from being scratched the many, many times it hits a wall, a floor (working on my car/bike), etc.

it's tested to military standards, so you don't have to worry about damaging it when hitting it on something.
Is this also sapphire? Or just pro?

just bought one for myself and I find the screen to have the stupid blue backlight with ugly contrast. do you have this as well? does it bother you at all?

Uh. Yeah, I like the backlight because it means I can read the watch in the dark. Never thought of it as ugly.

Becky Stern I got my husband the 6 sapphire and the screen has the backlight but it doesn’t turn the screen blue. i’d share a pic side by side if I could lol I really love the watch but it’s disappointing that there’s such a difference in the two watches I have.

Bit late to the party. But I’m asking advice , I want a smart watch , I’ve never owned one. Hubby currently has an Apple smart watch but they Ugly af. I’m torn with this or the fossil gen 5 . I assumed they all did what the Apple Watch does then after watching 1000’s of reviews I figured out they don’t 😭😭😭😭 I have an iPhone and I workout . Not a fitness fanatic but I still like a work out 4 times a week. I love the look of this gen 5 or the garmin Vivo. BUT my question is , is there any point getting these watches when nearly everyone is saying wear OS is crap, and lags on opening up. Plus I want to be able to answer my phone and read my iMessages when they come through . Any input would be appreciated xx ( I need it to last 12 hours )
Is this Watch is for both? I mean iOS and Android?
