The unit is a bit chubbier than some others

Doesn't automatically go from sleeping mode to nonsleeping
Must switch over manually
20 more than original version
Blood oxygen level data not synced to mobile app
Not waterproof at all — don't swim
Shower
Or send it through the wash accidentally
Sleep data isn't always accurate
Syncing sometimes requires you to toggle Bluetooth on/off
Requires an iOS or Android device
Not showersafe
Easy to misplace (leave in pockets
Etc)
Requires mobile device
Not compatible with Windows or Mac. Heart rate readings not continuous and inconsistent in testing. Difficult to use during activity. Data displays could be improved
Can't read screen in direct sunlight
No Windows or Mac syncing
Not water-resistant
Hard to see and use screen when in wristband
Wristband obscures display
Can't read your heart rate with the band on
Screen is not always on

No weather or water resistance
Sleep monitoring isn't automatic
Clunky clip. Finicky automatic syncing. No silent alarm
Touchscreen is sluggish
Heart rate reader is finicky
No low-battery warning
Requires a lot of work
Some syncing issues. Battery life doesn’t quite live up to claims. Charging leaves gaps in tracking.
Attachable
Not wearable. I'd tell you how many steps I took today
But I left it in my other pair of pants. Less sensitive in the night than a late show comedy
