Smart notifications require a compatible paired iPhone or Android smartphone. Text replies require Android. Wellness readings are fitness estimates. This is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose or monitor medical conditions.
The quoted smartwatch and GPS-only runtimes are non-solar baselines. Manufacturer solar estimates assume all-day wear with three hours outdoors each day at 50,000 lux for smartwatch use, or operation in 50,000 lux for GPS use. Multi-band solar estimates additionally assume typical SatIQ use. Actual battery life depends on operating mode, usage and light exposure.
Applied Ballistics requires a separate one-time paid unlock; its price and regional eligibility remain unverified.
