It warns you by vibrating if it detects you have been inactive for a long period of time. It has a "find my phone" feature. It can read entire text messages and has horizontal and vertical screen orientation.
Pro It provides you with sleep metrics
This fitness tracker can also track the depth of your sleep, and it gets the exact time you fall asleep and wake spot-on.
Pro The charging port is also waterproofed
Most micro-USB or USB-C charging ports on waterproofed devices eventually develop leakage over the long term. This device has a propietary charging port, designed to ensure that the unit remains waterproof in the long run.
Pro It has a battery conservation function

Cons
Con The move notifications can get annoying
You can turn them off, but they will be on again after your established sleep time ends.
Con It has a hard time tracking stair steps
The unit has a barometric altimeter to help it track stair steps, but in some situations, it is just not accurate enough. For example, it sometimes gets triggered by elevators and other times it fails to count some stair steps.
Con Heart rate monitor often inaccurate
Heart rate should always be a linear progression up and a smooth movement down, and this specific model always shows some noise when compared to chest straps like the Polar H7. The noise stabilizes over a 3 mins time, meaning that the reads of both products will eventually be very close, but there is always bound to be some jumping around at first.
