What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Battery claims differ: the title and feature text state up to 11 days in smartwatch mode, while the specification table gives 264 hours. Treat the longer claim as mode-specific and check the selected listing’s details. The 42mm title wording and the listed dimensions of 38 x 11 x 38 millimetres also do not align clearly. The package contents list names a user manual only, so check the selected listing for any other expected items.
