I have the 44mm version, not sure if they're functionally any different but here's my thoughts. First, it's hard to complain about it mainly because of the price point, but I'm gonna anyways:
-very limited apps
-very limited watch faces with oddly specific 90s themed designs, and a few semi simplistic faces.
-you can't answer calls or text, even with quick replies. Can only decline a call...
-no audio controls (Spotify or otherwise)
-the steps are over calculated (apparently walked over 600 steps on a 60 min drive)
-if you want to set a timer, that's the ONLY thing you can do until the timer is up! Can't even see the time...
-UI is super choppy.
-if you're wearing polarized Sunglasses, you can't see the screen when it's on. I mean come on...
I have quite a few other wyze products which I'm overall quite happy with. This was a disappointment, even at this price, I was expecting more.
So the battery is amazing. The software needs much updating (check YouTube reviews). For me, it's worth the $25 to tell time, date, and see notifications (even though I can't reply).
TL DR: Hardware is nice, software sucks, but hopefully will be updated
How is this watch? Seems like Wyze also has a band, anyone have both and compared? I wonder if there are differences other than size, for example is heart rate/sleep tracking more accurate on one of them? Thanks

I have the watch. I like it for notifications and that's about it. Haven't really tried the sleep or HR stuff. Haven't tried the band, but my understanding is they're very similar other than form factor.
I have this watch. While it's pretty decent for the money you pay, the screen is of very low quality plastic and gets scratches easily. I didn't find a screen protector for the 47mm watch. I will buy again only if can find a proper screen protector.
I almost bought it but realized it's been this price every month.
.02: I also have a Fossil Sport that I threw online to sell since I haven't been using it. WearOS needs to get lighter and speedier, this has less functions so the chances of me using it seems even less.
I got this watch for $20 a month or two ago. I enjoy it, I also have some wyze lights so its easy to use the lighting shortcuts through the app. I don't use it much for phone notifications, but for time and controlling my wyze smart lights it's great. Also as an alarm in the mornings to have a vibrating watch with decent battery, before I'd have to charge my fossil gen 5 when I got home from work and in the morning when showering and eventually just stopped wearing it in the evenings due to this. But I wear this watch a lot more and the bands are the same 22mm so interchangeable with my fossil.

I own this watch and for the price is very worth it. The trackers are also within the app so you can see it all in one screen. The battery is amazing all the trackers and are pretty good. It unpairs sometimes but with touch of a bottom it sync with phone again. You can also authorize a third party to see your trackers like Google fit, if you a better interface for the trackers.
I have been wearing regular watches only, & dreaded at the thought of another device that needed a charge regularly. I am used to looking at my wrist… so cannot fathom a dead watch when I need to check time.
Preordered it ONLY because of the 9-day battery life, & the low entry price. Have used it for a month & could confirm that the 47mm Watch looks beautiful. Hopefully, with future software updates there will be new watch faces. I already see an improvement in 'raise to wake' after the recent software update.
There are fairly significant software differences between the 47 and 44.
I have the 44. My use case is to be able to view notifications or who is calling when I'm in the shower, since it's waterproof and if it gets ruined by water it's only 20 bucks. For a daily driver, probably not that great though.
I've the 47.
The sleep tracker is amazing. [NOT]
Sometimes I can go to bed at 11pm and get 8 hours of sleep by 6am.
Notifications ARE good if the watch is near the paired device.
The software is probably version 0.12, almost beta.

It's a mediocre fitness band with a watch face.
Expectation is the root of all heartache. Unhappiness lies in that gap between our expectations & actual specifications.

can't believe that a semi-smartwatch can be had for just $25!!!
