This app can't be used without extensive permissions. Even with those permissions, the app kept asking for more location permissions. I uninstalled and will return the wearable watch. I want to track my heartbeat and fitness. I don't need the device to track my location or tell me where I am, I know that on my own! >(

Constantly saying "setup paused waiting for wifi" &when I go to connections it says I'm connected..so it says I always have a notification and cannot clear it off. Also when changing watch faces I wish u could just transfer your home screen settings and shortcuts that i already took the time to pick out over to the new watch face without having to customize everything again.

This app is acting real stupid. It keeps telling me that I am unable to use the app and that I had to tap settings to allow call logs. When I went to settings, my call logs were already allowed in the app. This app might be garbage and someone has to fix this issue please. I would really appreciate it.
