I no longer support Wyze, especially with health data and emails considering their leak and how they reacted to it.
The bad: no constant heart rate monitoring, heart rate doesn't seem to sync to Google Fit but it's supposed to (for me anyway, even after setting it up), data won't sync to Samsung health, HR is supposed to be taken every 5 minutes (settings option on watch) but the watch shows the light and no data in the app, no reply options, no music control options, heart rate monitor has been off from actual reading a few times by a good amount, find my phone won't turn on your ringer so if it's on vibrate it just vibrates, watch faces are hideous, you can't customize layout of watch faces if you use your own picture (I want HR to be on the main face at all times like my Samsung fit), notifications take a small bit of tinkering and are kind of ugly.
I mean a lot of this can get better with updates to the software. I still like it and my other Wyze products but it always seems it takes a bit before they're truly good.
Overall, the biggest disappointment is the clock face styles. Most are borderline hideous [imgur.com], all 10 of them.

I like it so far after about a month.
However, there is no excuse whatsoever to not have one decent plain simple digital watch face! I could add having configuration of watch face as possibility, but come on Wyze.. not one simple watch face? You added mostly thrown in retro, funky, punky watches, but how about one with simple decent digits (not the starry one please.. could be hard to view without glasses) .
We had bought this 1 of 47mm and 2 of 44mm, which are worse than 47 in screen being cut off on top and bottom..
Sending back all 3 because no matter how cheap the watch is, it has to be bearable to wear and look at for simple thing as time !
Does most all that this does without the heart and o2 measurements.
Almost never wear a watch but will give the 47 a try and see what it is worth. Tether my phone a lot, so I will try the shortcuts and maybe my own photo face.
Maybe it will improve with firmware updates, or maybe they will just make it bloated and more laggy? My hope would be that they make it rock a few things well instead of really trying to do-everything and not doing much well.
With the limited hardware, it really can't be a "do-anything watch", so expectations def not very high.

Phone did report caller name on my first test (I think the call came in via Voice app, which are pretty much the only ones I will anser.
Not sure I have Voice messages working, yet ... I left Text off as I don't want SMS messages on the watch.
Did a couple photo background clock faces, so those are pretty much fine for me, in addition to the defalut analog face.
Most important for me, the watch allows 10 Wyze shortcuts and the 4 I already had set up work just fine.
Since I am using a ZTE phone, I may have to dig into the android settings to keep the Wyze app power drain from killing the app on the phone.
