I like it so far, but died March 2017
Just received the watch today. The studs on the band were a little difficult to punch through the holes but by using my finger to press on the back of the stud and pressing on the band with another finger I forced the studs through the holes and all was well. A little moisture helps too. Setup was a little difficult with slow download of the I GotU life app to my phone from the Google play store, then multiple attempts to pair with bluetooth, then multiple attempts to down load firmware up dates. It's possible I might have expected too fast response time but persistence paid off and all ended well. I did notice I had to check my wireless connection because for some reason it seemed to disconnect some during setup. Using SONY Z2 phone and this Android device works fine. Once set, all the functions seem to be in great shape. I will post an up date once I get used to the Jarv. I like the display, easy to read, crisp black and white. An improvement in the display would be in the time mode show steps or other user selected information below the time. Easy to step through options with the watch stem. Only other feature I wish it had was to record flights of stairs climbed each day. More to follow in a few days to give any additional learned use information.UPDATE: 9/2/2016:Good Value watch and looks good. Battery was being depleted in 30 hours by the heart rate monitor even though the I gotU setup software has an option to turn off the HRM on the first page. A call to customer service recommending to put the watch into sport mode and there you can select options to turn the HRM on or off. Problem solved. Thanks Saul.In my experience steps are accurate as long as the arm is free to move and walking on hard surfaces. In the house, on soft carpet and many times carrying items, about 40% of the steps are missed. So at end of day just double the step count for an approximation. On the treadmill or outside on the sidewalk, leaving your arm at your side it is accurate for steps. The distance recorded is about 30% too far so I am reducing my height from 6 feet to 5 feet to see if the algorithm for distance will be more accurate. Any other updates I will post here.The watch finally gave up refusing to remain connected with bluetooth. Even though I was careful to avoid water the screen began showing black spots around the display which I believe is caused by moisture. I also suspect it is moisture that degrades the ability to stay connected with bluetooth.

like 150 during warmup
I got it almost a month ago. It hasn't had any problems. I wish it had a continuous heart rate monitor, but, and sometimes the heart rate monitor will temporarily show an obviously wrong heart rate, like 150 during warmup, but overall it does what I like. I really like that I can back up the data to google drive and export it as much as I like.

Great easy to use product for all ages
Bought this for my Dad who is 89 years old because it was easy to use and had large numbers on it for him to read easily. He loves it!

great looking product that never synced 😥
This product has a really nice appearance, I got alot of compliments on it. I was pretty bummed that it couldn't sync, which made it pretty much useless. Its going back today.

Steps count is a joke
So bummed. After much review I was sure this was the one. The steps are WAY inaccurate. It would tell me I achieved my goal when I was sitting at my desk all day. I like the look and light weight of it. Really wish it would have worked out. Now back to searching
