Vector Watch Luna Smartwatch-30 Day+ Autonomy, 5ATM, Notifications, Activity Tracking - Steel Case/ Tan Leather-Casual

There are several reviews about this watch, some strongly positive, and others strongly negative. I think whether or not you like this watch will depend on your familiarity with smart watches and your expectations.If you are looking for a "grown up / professional" timepiece that provides notices of emails and text messages without having to plug in every night to keep the charge up, you are likely to love this watch. It seems to have been designed to look and feel like a real timepiece.If you are looking to play games, want touch screen simplicity or want to install lots of apps, or do much more that receive notifications, you are likely to hate this watch. Also, if you are unwilling to work through the god-awful software and install procedures to get your watch working with your android phone, you are also likely to be disappointed.But, after you emerge from the confusing, frustrating, and often nonsensical installation and snycing process, this watch looks great, works great and has unbelievable battery life.I own several smartwatches - pebble time, moto 360, and Microsoft band2, Each has pros and cons. The pebble time is the most functional, but looks like a toy, and as a 50yr old adult, cannot shake the feeling when wearing it that I got it out of a "happy meal" - but its functionality is incredible, it installs easily, and works for a few days without needing to charge. The Moto 360 has a nice face, is round, and looks more elegant, but needs to be charged every day, and often cannot go an entire day without a charge. The Microsoft band has the best overall functionality and features, rocking an internal GPS, UV sensor, and impeccable heart rate monitor. But it looks like a fitness watch, not a timepiece, and I only get 2 days of charge. Also,. each of these watches require the watch to turn off the backlight to conserve power, making it mostly unreadable without a distinct action to activate the backlight.The vector smartwatch, once installed and configured, also uses a backlight that turns off to conserve power, but the e-ink display is somehow reflective, and is pretty easy to see in natural light without needing to constantly flick my wrist to keep the backlight on. The device also sips power, and while I don't get 30 days without a charge, I do get 2-3 weeks, and charging is quick (about an hour).But as others have mentioned, if you want to use this to order Starbucks, buy a pizza or do your taxes, this is not the watch to own. On the other hand, when wearing a suit or sportcoat, I also don't need to apologize for wearing a "toy" or "gimmick" watch.

Watch arrived with a flaw in the crystal face, and would not sync with a Windows phone running Win 10.

Like others have stated, I really wanted to like this watch. It truly is a beautiful timepiece, but ultimately it should function as a smart watch. Where do I begin? The weather "stream", as it's called, was always way off. It's currently 51 outside--the watch says it's 44. My calendar events synced for the first couple of days, now it says "no events" when there are events in my calendar. It is supposed to work with Windows Phone, but neither steps nor sleep tracking work. The web site says it is planned for a future release. The app works fine, but it takes forever to resume once the phone goes on standby.I like to cheer for the little guy and I wish this company well, but I just can't recommend it. Maybe it will improve, but though its looks are 5 star, for now I can only give it 2 stars because of the issues. Fix the software and this could be a great device.

J ai acheté cette montre dès sa sortie et depuis je ne la quitte plus. Design au top, fonctionalités simples d utilisations et en constante évolution, des nouveautés tous les mois. Et au niveau de la batterie, rien a dire 30 jours et bien plus, un vrai confort comparé au autre marque.

I used this Luna watch for about two weeks before writing this review. Before this watch I'd used a Fitbit Flex for a few months and then a Microsoft Band for more than a year. I was looking for something that (1) has the appearance of a nice-looking traditional watch and (2) relays all the notifications from my smartphone. Though look like minimal requirements, it seems to me that only two products in the market do both: the Vector Luna and the crazy expensive Kairos hybrid. I'm not spending thousands on things that get dated in a year, so Vector it is. Before I pulled the trigger, I read all the reviews on Amazon and quite some tech forum/reviews, and found that the reviews are really a mixed bag. Most praised its appearance, but its reliability as a connected smart wearable is iffy at best. I decided to get it a try anyways because I appreciate their support for the Windows platform.I'm very happy that I did.Appearance: The watch face is more beautiful than I've thought it would be. The e-ink on this watch has a metallic feel which really surprised me. And it is perfectly readable even in a poorly lit room, though under this condition you may not want to further put yourself into shadow. What I'm not happy with is that the way the straps and the lugs connect makes it impossible to change the straps to my taste unless I destroy the original ones.Connectivity: This is the part I worried the most before purchasing, but the Bluetooth connectivity turns out to be perfect. I did need to turn the Bluetooth on my phone off then back on to initiate my first connection, but since then the connection didn't seem to want to drop. Even when it did drop (because I took it too far away from my phone), it quickly re-established connection when it got back into range. FYI my phone is a Lumia 1520.3 running OS version 8.10.14234.375. I am not going to upgrade to Windows 10 until there is confirmed support from Vector for the new OS.Fitness features: It does pretty much all I need from a fitness wearable: silent alarms, automatic sleep tracking, and step tracking. I didn't use hear-rate tracking, GPS, and other fancy stuff on my Band anyway. The vibration can be stronger though. I miss the strong vibration of the Flex.Smart features: It royally mirror everything from my phone, which is exactly what I had my Band do. I would also like to emphasize that it never missed a calendar event.
