Nice watch
This is a cool watch. All the smart I need. Might not be for the person who wants a true smart watch.

Terrific watch but glitchy app
I can't get the app to monitor heart rate or a few other things it's supposed to do (Android).The watch itself is beautiful, well built, looks and feels very expensive, from a historic brand. I absolutely love it.But all the smart features happen on the app, which I've tried for weeks and weeks, and just find lacking. Even if all the features worked, it has half the number of features as my $40 generic smart watch.I would recommend this watch as a normal sports watch. If you want a smart watch, there are plenty of less inexpensive options that do more.

For those who want a watch to look like a watch, but the data also.
Right off the bat, I think it’s important to know what this watch is and what it does, and what it isn’t.The only thing you can do by looking at this watch is tell time. That’s all. Everything else takes place on the app. So this watch is not like an apple watch, or a Fitbit or any other such watch. When you look at this watch, you simply tell time.Having said that, the app for this watch has some nice features. You first have to download the app and pair it to the watch. There is an easy 3-step process to do so.The app offers information which is health related. The app tells you how many steps you take and miles you walk. The app calculates average calories based on the steps with your weight and height. You can make goals through the app about how long you want to sleep and walk each day and it will notify you to be more active or sleep more to reach your goals.This watch is for those who like the data aspect that the app gives you, but they like a “normal” looking watch. The watch itself is very stylish. It is Swiss made. It is water resistant to 100 m. So it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for diving. Though this same company does offer watches which are made for diving.

Too expensive for what it is!
While the watch has some basic fitness tracking features and quickly connects with the app on your smartphone, the price is too high. What I most dislike at this watch is the band, a stiff piece of plastic, very uncomfortable to wear. For a Swiss Watch, I would expect more focus on quality material. I would not buy this watch again but look into the Fossil hybrid watches.

A Beautiful Watch with Some Smart Tracking Features
Alpina is a high end swiss watch maker. They are very well known for their high quality time pieces. But, if you are looking at a $600 smart watch from Alpina, you likely already know how nice this watch is.If you are looking for an Apple Watch replacement, this isn't it. This is more of a high end watch that tracks health information that you can read on the app. It doesn't display your steps or your messages. Instead, it syncs with the app and you can check that information there. You can check your steps, your calorie burn, and heart rate. The app is easy to use.Overall, the intention of this watch is for the smart features to be relatively seamless. This is simply a beautiful time piece. It is stylish and well made. It just says classy. It is water proof. I wear it regularly while swimming and it holds up perfectly. I wasn't a fan of the watch band itself but swapping it out for a nicer band is an easy task.
