        Sweet. Don't forget to do a review. I have a fitbit ionic. I got it for free and really only use it for the time and pedometer function.

          Definitely will. It's for some hard core use traveling Europe in a few weeks. So these will be covered thoroughly!

              Greece, Italy, Switzerland, France, and Spain. In that order.

                  For those not familiar with Montecatini Terme.... it is where the opening song / bombing in the first scene of White Christmas is set in Tuscany. That's where Bing Crosby is rescued by Danny Kaye from the falling building.

                    Now I know where you are talking about. Love that movie.

                      That is a great trip. I just saw the Pompeii exhibit at the Reagan library in March. Very interesting.

                        This is my current front runner. Thoughts?

                        I don't see anywhere it mentions that this watch runs Google Wear OS. Was that supposed to be a requirement?

                            Just because it's compatible with an Android device doesn't mean it runs Google's Wear OS. Fitbit doesn't run Wear OS, yet it connects to Android phones. Two separate things.

                                      Do you understand what Wear OS is? It's not an app for Android. It's a watch operating system. My Fitbit has an app that runs on an Android phone. It does not run Wear OS. It runs its own OS that then communicates with my Android phone via the Fitbit app in the Google Play Store. The same appears to be true about the Amazfit watch.

                                        I don't see anywhere it mentions that this watch runs Google Wear OS. Was that supposed to be a requirement?

                                        Ah, it does not, that's true.

                                        why ?

                                        Just because it's compatible with an Android device doesn't mean it runs Google's Wear OS. Fitbit doesn't run Wear OS, yet it connects to Android phones. Two separate things.

                                        did you even click on the link?
                                        You download the software to run the smart watch .

                                        Do you understand what Wear OS is?

                                        Nope. I have No Idea what OS stands for.

                                          It's not an app for Android. It's a watch operating system.

                                          Correct. that Runs on the watch right?

                                            You download the software to run the smart watch .

                                            My Fitbit has an app that runs on an Android phone. It does not run Wear OS. It runs its own OS that then communicates with my Android phone via the Fitbit app in the Google Play Store. The same appears to be true about the Amazfit watch.

                                            My moto Runs Wear OS - Had to download the Wear OS as an App onto my Smart Phone to get it to sync with the Watch that was already running Wear OS. So you're basically saying that I need to have 2 OS's on my phone , one to run the watch then another to run the phone?

                                            Which.. Isn't that the same thing that your fit bit is doing... ?
