Why do shoppers love it?

With a military-style design, this smartwatch has a rugged look and a lightweight feel. It stands out on looks alone compared to other options available that typically sport a square or rectangular watch face. As a two-in-one smartwatch and fitness tracker, it gives you access to so many features accessible on its 1.46-inch screen. Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, you can stay connected to your smartphone via notifications, as well as make or receive hands-free calls. You can also check the weather forecast, control music and your phone camera, set alarms, find your device locations, and more.

This watch is a robust fitness tracker with over 100 sports modes and activities to choose from. Additionally, it monitors all aspects of your health with built-in sensors, including heart rate, sleep, calories burned, blood-oxygen level, and steps. It even has a reminder that lets you know if you've been sedentary for too long. It has the durability to match its look, too, with an IP68 water resistance rating that's dustproof and can withstand being fully submerged in water. That makes it great for anyone who partakes in outdoor activities, whether it's trail running, or swimming.

This smartwatch has a long battery life that will last for days, if not weeks. With frequent use, it can last for up to seven days. On standby, the battery can last a whole month. Not only is that impressive, but super convenient, as you don't have to worry about recharging it every other day.
