Overall I am really happy with the purchase. I wanted a simple and affordable watch, that looked professional and that also allowed me to help manage my ADHD focus using "interval timers." There are very specific (and expensive) watches that target ADHD users out there (usually kiddos), but I wanted something that looked and felt more traditional (and adult), in addition to having more robust "Smart Watch" features, and this one fits the bill for me! Pros --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Small watch face: fits my wrist well and does not feel bulky - 20mm quick-release strap makes changing straps easy - Can customize the watch face background with my photos (yay for cute puppies!) - Has a screen lock feature: could be useful for children, or those who might accidentally bump the screen - Zepp App: GREAT features and you can customize almost everything. A little confusing to find where all the settings are, but if you are patient, you can find everything you need. Some of the settings reside ONLY on the watch itself, so don't forget they are there (all watch illumination settings for example are there, screen lock, changing the order of the SWIPE apps, etc). Access these settings by clicking the single button to load the App List, and scrolling to Settings. - You can schedule when you want the face of the watch to brighten on "lift", so you can wear it at night easily without the light coming on. You can set the hours during which you want this feature on/off. Similarly, you can also schedule when you want the screen to brighten in response to a notification. Again, very thoughtful features and designs. - You can customize the Vibration Pattern for different types of alerts, which is awesome! You can also adjust the strength of the vibration (low/med/high) (for the whole watch, not per notification). So if you want it to be almost silent, you can choose the low option. - You can customize the order of the SWIPE apps on the watch, and exclude some completely (for example removing Alexa) Change this on the watch settings itself. - Battery seems solid so far and full charging only took about 20 mins. I have only used it for 1 full day, so I'll update if the battery seems lacking in the long run. - Automatic Heart Rate Monitoring & HR Features: Will take HR throughout the day based on intervals of 1m to 30m intervals or you can set it to manual only. Also has a heart rate alert feature, which will alert you to a heart rate over a threshold (110 BPM - 150 BPM at 10BPM increments), or you can turn this off. Finally, when the watch detects that you're working out, it can also automatically increase the rate at which is samples HR, to give you a faster set of readings. I haven't tried that yet but seems very thoughtful. - Has a Pomodoro Timer App: however, this will stay in the foreground while you're using it - Using the To-Do List feature, notifications stay on the screen and "stack." You can customize what the message says, however only UNICODE characters render (not emojis). You need to snooze, complete, or ignore them to clear. I like this b/c I can't just blow through a notification without taking a break to do something about it. On the Zepp app side, it will show you any tasks you ignored in red, which may also be useful for some folks. You can see your whole list of tasks on the watch, and mark them complete before they pop up, but you can only add new tasks using the app. - Has a Find my Device feature for both your Phone and the Watch. The Watch doesn't produce any sound, but you can force it to vibrate using the Zepp app on your device. - Has other useful apps: Compass, countdown timer with pre-set intervals, stopwatch, world clock, remote picture taking, menstruation cycle tracking, and additional apps to add manual information you may also be collecting into the Zepp App: like body temperature, blood pressure/blood sugar, etc. Cons (very small list) --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Maximum of 10 unique alarms allowed in the Alarms App (note, the To-Do List app does not appear to have this limitation and can function like a daily repeating alarm). - Getting notifications to work was difficult I believe because of translation issues in instructions. Clearer instructions would be helpful, but I did ultimately figure it out. The added support link that provides help for notifications in the Zepp app did not have an accurate description of the app's settings I need to enable. This is my first smartwatch, however, so perhaps other users would already know of this requirement and not struggle as I did. - The music controller app does not appear to work with my podcast app of choice: Overcast. Not a huge deal, and may not be Zepp's issue. It can't play/pause, but the volume adjustment works. Does work fully as expected in other music/podcast apps. Nice to haves --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Please add a real "interval timer" feature! I want a feature that lets me set a repeating timer for a specific interval, like 15 mins, which will go off, without user intervention, and keep going off at each interval during a set schedule (for example between 8 am and 6 pm). As mentioned below, you CAN achieve this in multiple ways, but it takes more setup than I would want. But still very happy that I can make it work. Tips/Tricks/Hard To Find Features --------------------------------------------------------------------- - iOS Notifications Troubleshooting: In my experience, for notifications to function properly on my iPhone, I needed to ensure that my iOS setting for the watch itself had "Share System Notifications" on (Bluetooth--> (i) button --> toggle to on), which was easy to find, and not the root of my issues. Ultimately the notifications would not display on the phone because I had (Settings --> Notifications --> Show Previews) set to off, this HAS to be set to "When Unlocked" or "Always" to show up on the Watch. Once I figured this out, everything started working as expected. I don't love this, because I don't like the contents of my messages being visible on the phone, but when it's locked this is not an issue, and I just changed the App-specific Notification Settings to not display Phone Banners. - Watch Face Features: If you long press your watch face on the device you are given the option to switch faces (which you can also do in the app) however, on the device, depending on the face, you can customize the widgets shown (steps/HR/etc). - Using To-Do List as Interval Timer for ADHD or even Kiddo Potty Training: Since there is no feature (that I can find) that lets you set one reminder "to go off every 15/30/60 mins." You CAN enter manually a task at every interval you want in the Zepp App, then on the item, there is an option to have it repeated every day, just on weekdays, or something custom. Simply hit the + ADD button at the bottom. Type what you want the reminder to say in the box (UNICODE only), then hit the calendar/date button, I set the time I want it to go off, hit OK, and then there is an option for "Repeat" at the bottom of the task, Once will have it only go off once, on the day and time you selected, but the option "every day" will turn this one item into a repeating reminder. Other options include week/month/year and custom for specific days, like Wednesdays, for example. This is super tedious to set up, especially if you're doing 15 min intervals, but luckily you only need to set it up once, and I have found all the other features of this watch make it worth it (for me). NOTE: Another option might be using a different app on your phone and forwarding the notifications to the watch, which may require much less tedium. Initially, my notifications were not working, so I didn't go this route, and I like the idea that the watch will still remind me if the phone is not nearby (which would be relevant for a Kid at school)
