It's really amazing, the app let you change everything and even has a store where u can download apps to your watch. Even though there are better quality smartwatches, this one it's comfortable and compensates a lot in the software (comparing for example to the Mi band 7 pro that has better quality but lacks a lot in the software). In my opinion this is one of the best you can get got that price.
