Skagen Smartwatches 4+

Informative

First time owner of a smartwatch and so far I like it. I can not compare it with other brands of smartwatch, but I can say that this is a really nice product. I like it that it is not made of plastic, thus it gives you the look of a regular sports watch. Not too big, just right. One charge last for more than 2 weeks. You can also change the info you want to see in the dial. Affordable than some brands.

Lovely watch- not so functional app

I love the Jorn smartwatch. It has had some pairing issues and sometimes the buttons get pressed unintentionally and weird things happen but support has been helpful, attentive, and prompt. Before this I used a Fitbit for many years. And while I love how the actual watch looks- the app is pretty basic- it feels more like an advertisement and a toy rather than a wellness tool. Maybe that is fair- given the fact that the watch isn’t really for the hard core fitness athlete- but can’t casual health people track their fitness too?
What I would like:
Adding an activity via the app. Sometimes I forget to press the button to track the activity. Or sometimes the activity isn’t offered to track (swimming/ Pilates) I still want the gold star for doing an excercise and I don’t want to have to have multiple apps to track this.
Active minutes- I have no idea how this app tracks this because it seems to track an estimate of ANY calories burned- not actually active ones when my heart rate increases or walking speed increases to a certain point
Stop trying to sell me more watches- I don’t need 5 buttons in the middle of my app advertising your products. I already have one of your products. If I’m happy with it, I’ll buy more. Make me happy.
I don’t feel that the sleep tracking is quite as accurate as the Fitbit.

Disappointed

I purchased this watch in May of 2022 at the time I was utilizing Google’s Wear os to sync my watch with my phone. The phone worked perfectly. I could change watch faces with ease wether they were Skagen faces or third party faces. There were a good number of tiles to choose from. The exercise tracking worked well, the gps tracking of exercise routes was highly accurate. Since updating the watch’s software recently, I have noticed a marked decrease in functionality of the watch. While I can change the Skagen watch faces easily and somewhat customize them it is not easy to change the data on the face. They have decreased the amount of tiles available, thereby taking away functionality of the watch. The gps function of the exercise tracking is highly inaccurate. Overall I would have to say that the software update and app is highly disappointing.
