Really liking this watch. It's obviously not a North American model as when you first set it up your location choices are not in North America, but I just chose Bolivia and it doesn't seem to affect anything after that and it works perfectly in every way. I'm in Canada for reference. Took me a little time to download and set everything up the way I want, but it's well worth the effort. Solid build quality, good looks, I'm getting 4 full days of battery, love the screen quality and brightness, and the magnetic strap is so easy to use it's great. I like the looks of this model especially the raised bezel. I think it looks cool and it will help protect the screen, not that it needs protection as it's a durable sapphire glass. I don't miss the physical bezel as it's easier for me to just swipe everything. I don't find it too thick at all and it sits perfectly on my very average medium sized wrist. Overall I think this is a great smartwatch for the price, and I can attest to it working perfectly for me here in Canada with absolutely no issues. I haven't tried Google pay, but I honestly see no point in it as I have it on my phone and it would never get used anyway, so I can't comment on if that will work for you but everything else is A+. Mine arrived quickly and in a brand new unopened factory box.
