Liking that! Pros and cons? I'm pretty damned rough on my gear, why I almost exclusively wear Casio. Water is a serious concern for me.

Pros? It is cheap, it uses USB-C, step counter and heart monitor work, bluetooth calls work.

Cons? App is a bit crap, but works with GadgetBridge. UI is a bit slow and janky. Lots of watch faces but you can't design your own.

Full review on my blog later today.
