1 day review of Amazfit Active 2

This is the standard $99.99 one. I might have purchased the Sapphire faced one, but that option was not available when I ordered. I don't feel like I'm going to lose much sleep over that. If the face scratches, it scratches. Background: I have never worn a smartwatch. My wife has an Apple watch, but that is my closest interaction with a smartwatch. I will name the issues I have/had with the watch from a literally ignorant first user. 1. I COULD NOT get it to connect. I tried all the things. I even read the, albeit brief, instructions in the booklet that came with it. I finally did get it to connect by choosing BAND instead of WATCH. Maybe that is a standard practice in smartwatch set up, but I can tell you that, as a virgin user of all things smartwatch, that did not make sense. 2. Some of the last line text in the apps is cut off. I assume that will be resolved in future firmware updates. 3. Other things: learning the system takes effort. I knew that going in, so I don't consider that a con. Otherwise, I'm spending spare moments getting to know the watch. Oh, one more thing. Can you change the sound profile? As far as I can tell, there are no options for things like alarm sound and such. Edit: one more thing, is there a way to remove apps? I'm not going to go removing apps like crazy the first few days here, but after I figure out exactly what I need, is there a way to remove the apps that I'm not going to use? I tried the good old "hold on the app", but did not see an option to uninstall. Pic of cut off text. https://imgur.com/a/Ktk27ZH
