Armitron Matrix Adult 44mm Smart Watch, Silver

Great watch great product

Purchased to replace an iTech Fussion 3, similar features and price point. Previously owned a fitbit charge, fitbit versa, and several generic sub $50 smartwatches. Watch itself is gorgeous. Band and watch made from stainless steel. Build is very nice. Looks nice enough to pass as jewelry instead of budget Smartwatch/Fitness tracker. Like the feel of band over silicon straps. Needed watch repair kit, sold in same aisle as watch, to remove links from band. Instructions to remove bands included in instruction manual. Crown controller fun to play with but not practical. Do not like the charger as it easily slides off. App unpolished and has lagy sync. Smartwatch featured includes taking and recieving calls from the watch. Watch onboard speaker and mic a little weak but feature is serviceable. Can also play audio media from phone on watch. Feature useful if phone is placed on charger and you leave the room. Excellent feature for podcasts. When on Android phones feature takes time to get used to- pressing volume button while playing media then pressing 3 dots below volume slider finaly selecting play on watch. Voice assistant uses assistant built into phone it is connected to, in my case Gemini AI. This is a useful feature. Must tap then speak to use feature. Watch connects to phone GPS and tracks running/walking distance. Location is viewable on second button/tab of app. Watch ringtone and alarm is somewhat antiquated and not overly noticeable in noisy environments. Watch/App allows storage of 8 contacts on watch. Notifications also apear to be limited. Text messages frequently drop off randomly requiring restart/pairing of phone and watch. Sends lots of weather notifications. App slow to update. Watch face design options aren't as stylish as the itech faces. Does have an option to create one custom face from a photo with time and two health tracking options or weather. Sleep tracker apears to be accurate but only tracks sleep from 10 PM until 8 AM . Naps or sleep if on a second or third shift not tracked. Steps seem to be as accurate - one wrist swing equals 2 steps. Accelerometer in watch more accurate than other sub $50 smartwatch fitness trackers and is on par with old fitbit charge. Blood oxygen on the iTech Fusion 3 matched the fingertip blood oxygen meter most of time. This watch consistently is 1% higher than fingertip. Blood oxygen is not continuous. Watch app has stress data throughout the day by default and is measuring without manual entry. Watch UI easy to use but don't like the tap to get tiny set of icons in a menu on left third of watch. Undocumented feature of UI is double right slide from main menu will bring up more readable vertical scrolling menu. Swiping left allows adding a selection of features like heart rate or blood oxygen. Most face data too small to read. Heart rate initially not continuous and has to be set manually to 5/10/30 min intervals. Solid sub $50 smartwatch.
