Regina, Sk
I bought this last time it was in sale. Been very happy with it.

Some notes:
- doesn't run android
- can't reply to messages

Some things I like about it:
- long battery life
- jogging mode (keeps your route, calculates a bunch of things, and you don't need to take your phone with jogging)
- heart rate monitor

App is okay. They have either imperial or metric, not both, so I have been trying to learn my weight in metric, because I have no idea about miles.

Agreed. I got it a few months ago and been wearing it daily. If you are an android phone owner and looking for a quality but feature limited watch, this is a great option at this price.

Battery lasts a good 10-14 days if not using GPS and Always On screen option. Heart monitoring works fine but I don't trust it to be very accurate or provide me with special insights, like you might get out of an apple watch. Sleep tracking and sleep rating is ok but limited.

Watch is great for wrist notifications and even getting the gist of texts/emails/etc. but other then ending or answering a call while you look for your phone to actually talk, you can't do anything on the watch.

Phone finder feature is great and I use it all the time.
Workout tracking and monitoring is useful but I haven't used it much.
Running/walking/hiking tracking with GPS works fairly well but does use battery so if you use it you will need to charge much more often.
Looks good, durable and quality screen

Limited watchfaces, getting new ones requires to install a different version of the Health app (not from play store) and set account to UK. Not sure why this is the case but it is annoying. Maybe they fixed it but either way it is a big con if you were hoping to have more watch faces available.

Didn't like the strap it came with so bought a nice metal one for cheap on amazon which is surprisingly of high quality and durability.

miband is a band, this is a flashy watch that says "look at me i'm hot stuff".

They're really nice in person though, just on the heavy side for my tastes.

Agreed. I did also and it works great for what I need.
Battery life is about 7-8 days with gps on.

Yes, the design and screen/interface are far superior to a band and gives you added usability as you can see more on the screen at once. It also looks like you got something of higher quality on your wrist. It has a few more features that I didn't get into like torch mode which is useful when trying to find the toilet at night.

For some people a band will provide all the needed functionality though, so if that's all you are after and would like something smaller and probably more comfortable to wear, go for that.

Another positive review from an owner here. (I got mine "free" with a Koodo P20).

Battery life is amazing (rotate wrist to view works well IMO), heart rate monitor seems to work well, fitness tracking ticks off all of the boxes I'm looking for, and bluetooth pairing with my phone works throughout my (albeit relatively small) bungalow so I can leave my phone anywhere in the house but still get notifications (email, sms, phone) on the watch. (and yeah... the "find my phone" option is really handy.... :) ).

edit: Should probably include "in store only" either in the title or at the very least in the description.
