Anybody have one? Just saw an ad for them, curious if it's all fluff or true.

Found some reviews. Apparently it doesn't come close to its claims.

Which is what I suspected based on the price.

Website has whiffs of cheap Chinese knockoff. That being said, the prices are definitely right. With a coupon code, a lot of these are in the $50-60 range, might be worth a shot at that price

Nah, based on the reviews, I'd rather use that for part of a nice dinner this evening!

Just the name alone is enough cringe to keep me away.  

A used Garmin Fenix would cost similar and be way more watch.  Fenix 5X Plus is sort of the sweet spot between all the modern features and old enough to be cheap.

It was a big turn off for me as well.

I have an older Pixel watch, the battery life and updating and everything is so poor I never wear. 

What's the point of having a sleep monitoring function if I have to charge it all night, because it will barely last being worn during the day?

My 8 year old Fenix 3 still lasts a week plus with regular use including some GPS use.

When I was researching, I went to a bunch of reputable review sites.  They all listed the top two as being the Galaxy and the Apple watch, and every one of them also said "but check out the Mobvai TicWatch for a budget option."  I bought a Mobvai TicWatch.  Just as good, but a hundred bucks cheaper.  I like it.

Any time an algorithm puts an ad in your face, don't trust it.  If there is someone at that "company" who is paying more for targeted AI ad space in your stream than they make selling their product, it's a scam.  When I was shopping for smart watches, I got all the ads.  Researching them told me that every single one was a scam.  Buyers left scathing reviews that said something like "It's just a Casio from 1990," or "it doesn't even have bluetooth," or "they took my money and never sent a watch."
