The Good

• Accurate workout tracking.
• Fast and accurate GPS create speed-detailed maps of exercise routes.
• Swim tracking is easy to initiate; water-resistant speakers keep liquid out of the watch.
• Heart rate monitor works even while swimming.
• Haptic feedback in the Breathe app lets you follow guided breathing session with your eyes closed.
• Wheelchair optimization allows disabled users to log activity that's not step-related.
• Scribble makes it super easy to write short text messages on the watch's screen.

The Bad

• No auto-tracking activity feature.
• Cannot natively track sleep.
• Mapped routes cannot be viewed on the watch itself, only in the Activity app.
• Third-party apps are hit or miss.
• Battery life is better than the original watch, but still not nearly as good as other fitness trackers.

The Ugly

• The high price tag may deter some who just want a good fitness device, which can be purchased for less.
