    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!

    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.

    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 )
