I ditched my Garmin Instinct 3 Watch for this "half-baked" Rangeman. Zero regrets.

I’ve seen all the reviews saying the GPR-H1000 isn’t a "real" smartwatch. "The app is clunky," "The HR isn't medical grade," "It's too big."

​But after a week with it, I realized I don't want a mini-computer on my wrist that I have to baby. I wanted a G-Shock that happens to tell me how hard my heart is pumping when I'm hitting the trails (or the stairs at work).

​That MIP display (check the second photo) is miles ahead of any standard LCD, and honestly, the "smart" features are exactly as much as I actually need without the notification fatigue.

Not to mention that my Garmin was stuck on a certain version amd could not be upgraded. Plus the solar on them is just crap.
