What was your main area of dislike?

Battery. Even with very few apps installed on it, from 100% to dead varies between a day to maybe 2 if lucky. The Garmin Vivoactive I have will go 3 weeks between charging. Apple said the battery was well within parameters. Yeah, just be abysmal parameters.


The supplied band is dreadful. Buy afternarket.


It came to the point I un-synced the thing from my iPhone and removed more apps. Didn't help. Put it back in its grossly oversized wanky box in a drawer.



I have gone off Apple a lot the last few months. My Samsung Galaxy S9 hand me down from the wife phone has been faultless - I cannot say the same about the new iPhoney SE2020 I bought...
