Doesn’t work
Gone through all the steps app doesn’t work
Great watch
This is the best watch I’ve had in addition to keeping up with my steps most definitely recommend
Location Data
App should not need Always On access to phone location data to adjust watch settings.
Unnecessary data collection
Bluetooth time sync feature doesn’t technically require your location but CASIO has decided to make 24/7 background location permissions required to be turned on or else it will refuse to simply send the time from your smartphone to the watch over Bluetooth. This is possibly illegal in some legal jurisdictions.

Clunky, Dated, Misleading
Was excited to receive my first Casio activity tracking watch and use the app to sync my data to Apple health.
Then I spent the first 16 hrs of ownership troubleshooting how to update the software of the watch (read many message boards).
The UI/UX is laggy, looks dated, and is not the most intuitive to navigate.
Then, for all the health stuff it advertises it tracks, it only shares SOME of it with Apple health. Casio decided to gatekeep the rest and you can only view it through what looks like their forgotten platform.
Oh and the only way I was allowed to link the Apple health app is if I agreed to the required AND “optional” terms.
I do think the hardware of my watch is incredible. Just disappointed and feeling duped by the connectivity element.
Happy to flip this one star to a 5 if they only just enabled syncing of all the data.
