The frustrating part is the programming. It is very sensitive when it comes to moving from one program to another and inserting your data. My first several attempts were a nightmare of frustration and I had to hold myself in check to prevent myself from tossing it at a wall or stomping on it. That was with the first watch. But that pattern repeated with the second watch which arrived a week later.For accuracy, here is the comparison. I am utilizing this watch primarily as a pedometer. I put both watches, same brand, both fully charged, onto the same wrist and went onto a stepper. The results were the purple said 3948 steps while the green put the steps at 3388. The difference is 560 steps. That is a lot. And I don't know which - if either - is accurate.(Steppers are notoriously inaccurate, even if they appear to work - mine doesn't - hence the wrist pedometer.)Whichever wrist you wear your watch on, that arm needs to be in swing motion for the pedometer to function.The color of the band is true to what's on-screen. I ordered the green then followed that up with the purple. In dim light the band looks more brown than purple, but in light it is definitely purple.Contrary to the initial programming, after that it's functional and easy to flip through your stats.If you're going to charge into a socket, you need the adapter but otherwise the watch charge mechanism is on the unit. There is no cord involved. That requires removing the band on that side. But the band is easy to push on and pull off.Not fancy but a sleek design that also has a variety of band colors available. Lightweight. Not chunky.No app or cell connection. Not SMART. It's an independent unit so you access your results immediately.UPDATE: Still have the green one but the purple strap one needed the battery charged as I was using that more often. The battery was half empty. I used the same adapter for charging as last time but went through several outlets and it did not charge. In fact, it dropped further on battery usage. This is a return item.We'll see what the lifespan of the green strap watch pedometer is.

I'm updating my review... (original review below)After my initial watch had issues past the return period, customer service reached out to me to exchange the watch with a replacement. Bravo for that. Works great, no issues. I like the simple functions, but know there are some quirks on usage to realize aren't a failing watch:1. If it's not charging: Wipe off the contacts and make sure you insert them where the metal is facing the plastic tongue inside the USB plug that houses the metal connection. The watch will display a green charging indicator on its face. (It's easy to insert it upside down where it can't charge.2. There's some combination of holding and pressing that displays the computer code (for me, accidentally) used for diagnosing issues (see picture). It's nothing. Just hold and press the select circle on the watch until it goes away.Original review:I like everything about how this looks and its functions. I'm just really sad that it quit working after a month. It won't charge any more.

I wanted a basic, no apps, no jazz, water resistant watch to track the time I spent walking my senior dog and the breaks he took. I originally purchased one for me back in 2021 and loved it, it is a tough little guy I must say. The step counting was an added benefit, I began to pay attention to it bc of the watch. This one that I'm leaving a review for, I purchased for my mom as she loved my basic watch. We went to the beach for 4th of July weekend and her and I forgot we had our watches, mind you mine 2 yrs old and hers is newer, we went in the water, both watches survived, we were both super impressed.Battery life is good, mine goes dead after 3 days of zero charge, even when the battery is at one bar it still lasts. I love the easy USB port charging and charges super fast, I charge anywhere there is a USB port, no need to carry chargers. I've read that set up is difficult, but for me it was intuitive and the instructions were pretty easy to follow. It has one main button and you touch it to navigate the menus, when you reach the settings icon you just hold it down for a couple of seconds till things begin to blink and you can change them. Now, to leave your selection just hold the button and it saves them, simple! But I can see how for someone like my mom who is in her 60's this was a bit frustrating, so I just did it for her. I use mine every day, the plastic is durable, comfortable, doesn't rip any arm hairs and easy to wash. I'm very petite, with little wrists, and it doesn't feel clunky at all. After 2+ yrs the plastic gets a little dull (still flexy) screen has some scratches, but hey I live a very active lifestyle and use it every day! If you are one of those "they don't make them like they used to" and value durability, this is it for a basic, durable watch. I love mine!
