The complexity of the menus makes the watch difficult to use. The many activity options are interesting, but the manual lacks information on some of them and how they work.
The design is satisfactory and exudes solidity. Regarding the software, I've already experienced two watch reboots during use; I hope future updates will provide more stability.
Regarding the battery, I chose this configuration for the unlimited battery life advertised in the specifications, but this requires fairly significant daily exposure to sunlight, and during activities with GPS, the battery life can decrease quite quickly. I therefore doubt that it will truly provide unlimited battery life, especially in winter.
