I got my watch with a charger and manual and both bands detached. I had to attach them. There was also a magnetic charging cable.
To connect the watch to my phone, I had to scan a QR code that appeared when I first turned on the watch. The QR code sent me to the Google Play Store, where I downloaded the VeryFit app that works with the watch. I set up a new account and paired the watch with my phone through the app via Bluetooth. In all, the whole set up process took me around 7 minutes.
It got many health tracking functions. I can track my heart rate, blood oxygen level, stress, sleep, and even my cycle. For the latter to work, I have to enter some information manually in the app. The app will then try to forecast my next days of bleeding. However, I still may have to correct the forecast, so the next one will be more accurate according to the app’s suggestions. As someone who is conscious about my overall health, I found these options of tracking quite interesting. It gave me a better understanding of my body and helped me make necessary changes to my lifestyle.
The watch also has a built-in GPS. It can track my outdoor workouts, whether it's running, cycling, hiking or certain types of exercises. The GPS allows me to map my routes and keep a record of my progress. I found this to be a motivation to push myself further and set new fitness goals.
The VeryFit app not only syncs all my data from the watch but also allows me to set personalized fitness goals. It also provides insights and suggestions based on my data.
I was afraid, rain would destroy my watch. That’s why I googled what an IP68 water resistance rating means. I found out it’s water-resistant in fresh water to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. So, I guess it’s ok to do my runs with the watch on while raining. At least, mine is working after a 10-minute run in the rain.
Even though I have the Amazon app, to connect Alexa to my watch, it redirected me to sign in to my browser where I'm not logged in. Still, it didn’t take me long to have Alexa ready. I can tell Alexa to set an alarm or timer or start the stop watch. It also can give me reminders and do some calendar related tasks. It recognizes my voice even when I don't hold the watch right in front of my mouth.
I can change the watch face in the VeryFit app but I miss to add my own background picture as watch face. Either this option doesn't exist or i wasn't able to find it.
Lastly, the battery lasts me more than 5 days after a full charge even after enabling all tracking functions. So far I have recharged it 5 times within a month of use.

I typically don’t wear watches, but have tried fitbits before so I gave it a shot. After 4 months here’s what I like about it:
-displays messages you typically get on your phone (YouTube, emails, messages, etc), and rings and vibrates when you get a call
-Tracks your heart rate throughout the day, and your sleeping habits throughout the night. You can also manually read at anytime when working out.
-Vibrates when wet to help drain water out
-Can track running time, steps taken throughout the day, and stress levels
-has a blood sugar level tester I haven’t tried and a water plan if needed.
It takes about 30 seconds for the information to link to the app when you open it. For the past couple of days it has been having connectivity issues when tracking the heart rate, but that might be due to me taking it into the sauna all the time. I’ll buy again if need be— beats the cost of an Apple Watch
