Overpriced, underpowered…

Straight out of the box there was not any idea of what was to follow. Then it started to dawn that this was not going to be a straightforward assessment. Firstly the charging cable was USB C so was not going to fit into my computer or wall charger! I managed to find a converter after much rummaging in the parts draw and then had to wait 3 hours before the device was ready to start.
Secondly and most frustrating was the 2.5 hours it took me to connect the watch to my phone, this normally would take 5 mins at most with any other device but the Samsung App is too complex and devious to permit of such standard feats of attachment.
Indeed it had taken so much out of the poor lamb that I had to recharge it again in order to proceed.
Battery life is way too short for a device costing this level of income but not surprising as it is only 200mAH when the standard seems nearer 400 for a similar investment. Hardly surprising that the "in-use" time was so when the minimum on screen time that can be set is 15 sec. On all the time option seemed to be the default also until I found a hack to circumvent it.
