Its smart features are few (you can read text messages but not reply, its map/navigation is almost useless), but it gives great data and GPS recording. Two of the most useful features that I can no longer function without are the built-in lamp (I use red LED so I don't wake my little one when checking in on her at night) and bluetooth control for media. It is a lot easier to go forward/back with this watch than many earbuds.
It's got decent enough sleep info, too. Lets me know when I've been going a bit too hard for a few days.
Still, have been using my Apple Watch some but the 2X Solar is really good, just wish it wasn't so big on the wrist though.

The apps and interface are extremely difficult to navigate. Clicking around by pressing assorted buttons seems easy enough but is actually klunky and hard to figure out how to use effectively. The watch is rugged. Bang it, swim it, waterski it, ski it. You won't hurt it. Solar charging works ok. Doesn't really charge much with wearing but will charge if left in direct sunlight. If you want a highly functional exercise tool, this wasn't it for me. It works great as a rugged long lasting watch. Would I buy it again? Nope. I'd buy an Apple Watch for better accuracy and ease of use.
