Have had it for a little over a week now. First few days were okay, after some odd fits and starts with getting it up and running.
Then I noticed the annoyances piling on.
The weather information (either in the app on the watch, or on a face that shows weather) is often unavailable. Despite my ipod always being on me and in close proximity to the watch for syncing.
This thing is generating steps out of thin air. Hundreds and hundreds of steps. It's so many extraneous steps that this feature is useless for me. I wake up in the morning with 500-700 steps already tallied for the day!
The heart rate monitor can be wildly inaccurate. It's usually more or less right, but every so often, it'll tell me my pulse is over 120, or 130, or even close to 150.. when at MOST it's at 120, and usually always under 100.
And in the last few days, it's only giving me simplified sleep information, citing a lack of pulse data.. despite having the pulse data for my sleep duration. I'm not doing anything differently the last few nights, wearing it the same way, etc. and it's just not bothering with the analysis.
Yes, I wear this thing correctly, yes the battery is charged and rarely below 30%. Yeah, I've experimented with 'dominant vs non-dominant' hand settings. I've tinkered with sensitivity settings.. I've restarted it, turned it off, then on. Nothing I'm changing seems to be generating any improvements.
I'm starting to feel as though I wasted a lot of money on an overly-fancy time-telling watch. Not really sure what to do at this point.
