Does it work with an iPhone?

No. It is listed for Android, so pairing and notifications are built around Android phones. iPhone owners should look at an Apple Watch or a Garmin model with iOS support.

Do I need my phone for GPS runs?

No. The watch has its own GPS, so it records distance and pace without a phone nearby. You sync the run to the app afterward over Bluetooth.

Is the screen really scratch-resistant?

It uses sapphire glass, which is harder than the mineral glass on most budget watches. It resists everyday scratches, though a hard knock against stone can still mark it.

Can I wear it to bed for sleep tracking?

Yes. It is light enough for overnight wear and tracks sleep. Expect step and sleep data to be approximate rather than medical-grade.

Does it play music or take calls?

No. It is a fitness-focused watch with notifications and workout tracking, not a phone-on-your-wrist device. Music and calls stay on your phone.

How does it compare with a Garmin running watch?

It matches Garmin on the basics: GPS, AMOLED screen and a steel case. Garmin offers more accurate training metrics and a better app, while this watch leans on its tougher build and simpler setup.
