You really do get battery life of 4days, even with a fair bit of use. Disabling the backlight seems to give a few more days, The new Android Wear integration means you can now reply to text messages directly from the watch with some stock answers or usi
Struggling to find anything worth mentioning really, The screen resolution is low (and monochrome) compared to the more expensive smartwatches and that does give it a retro look, but it's fine for my needs. I don't need to display images or videos or pl
