Wyze Smartwatch Aluminum (47mm)

I bought this because I was excited to be able to run my Wyze shortcuts without picking up my phone. I already wore a Garmin Vivoactive3 almost 24/7 to track my heart rate and steps etc, aside from it pretty consistently disconnecting from my Bluetooth, it's a reliable watch and did exactly what I wanted it to do. I didn't buy this to completely replace it; but, it has similar features (phone notifications, heart rate, blood ox, and sleep tracking) PLUS the ability to access my Wyze shortcuts. I decided to buy the Wyze Watch as more of an "everyday" watch and use my Garmin for tracking my runs/workouts. However, what I didn't know before buying this watch is that you have to have the Wyze app open on your phone AT ALL TIMES in order for the watch to trigger your shortcuts.... I like to close all my apps unless I'm actively using them, to save battery and data usage; so, basically, I have to open my Wyze app to access my shortcuts either way. It also doesn't track your heart rate throughout the day, only when you open the "app" to do so on the watch (same with blood ox, but idrc and I'd only look at that when I want to measure it anyways). My heart rate is high normally (due to a number of health reasons) and I like to be able to see what my BPM was throughout the day to monitor my health, so that's pretty disappointing that it doesn't track it. I've only had it one night so far, but the sleep tracking seems fine. I wish they would have explained that the mobile app has to be open in order to trigger shortcuts, but otherwise, for the price, it's a good "smart" watch.Update: I've decided to return this watch. I splurged and got an Apple Watch, which integrates seamlessly with my phone so I don't have to worry about it disconnecting like I did with my Garmin (again, I still love my Garmin but only for tracking workouts) and I'm able to see Wyze notifications just fine without pulling my phone out, they even have a little preview image of the video. I also bought an Echo Dot to replace the Wyze Watch. I was between the two and I decided to try the watch first. Even with the Wyze app open on my phone 24/7, a lot of the time the watch wouldn't trigger my shortcuts. I also never received notifications on the watch, OCCASIONALLY I'd get a notification from a text or call, but even Wyze notifications weren't coming through on the watch. I appreciate what Wyze was going for, making their own smart watch, unfortunately it was a bit disappointing.
