The device also introduces a Quick Button, allowing swift access to your favourite apps and functionalities with just a tap. No more endless menu scrolling to start a workout or begin a run thanks to this feature, which complements the large, vivid display.
Worth mentioning are some other features: an integrated alarm for when you need urgent help, a special night mode with a red and black screen for better visibility in darkness, and highly accurate GPS for exact location tracking.

Considering the price, the band should be better quality.”
