Buggy, crashes, never updates conditions
Really disappointed with the GPS3. First day I got it, app was shutdown for “planned maintenance”. Then it starts to work but constantly crashes. Says I’m paired and synced but the conditions never update. I tried to track a session this morning but the GPS would never connect. 1000% returning the watch and going with a Garmin.

Don’t pay for the app
I only manage to get about 1 out 5 surfs to transfer over to the app from the watch.
