Amazing smartwatch, very powerful
Rating: 5
This is my first smartwatch and I could not be happier. My favorite sports are soccer, surf, and snowboarding, and while the watch doesn't have apps for those specific sports, its features do a pretty good job at recording everything I need to keep track of my workouts #sweepstakes
