I bought this watch to have a relatively inexpensive watch that sets time to the GPS time signal (rather than to use GPS to track workouts, although the watch can do that, too). The GPS time signal is sourced from an atomic clock on a GPS satellite, and so can be considered a validated reference time that doesn't drift. It's what your smart phone uses.
For GPS time, the watch works well. To set the time (after initially choosing your time zone — that part is not automatic), just hold the GPS button (right middle button). The watch will beep and start to search for the satellite signal. Let go of the button when you hear the beep. The watch almost always finds the signal within a couple minutes, often faster (works reliably). It then beeps again. The time is automatically set to the GPS time signal. A second button press (left middle button) then cancels GPS mode. Simple! Once out of GPS mode the battery will last months on a single charge. Then, a rapid charge with the clever included cable (it clips to the watch rather than making you fiddle with a plug) is all that's needed. I set the watch to the GPS signal once a day when I leave my house for work and it stays accurate to the second all day. I charge it once a month or so.
Overall, you get accurate timekeeping and with much less frustration than watches that automatically set using the NIST long wave radio time signal (such as Casio Waveceptor). Buy a GPS time Casio and you're looking at a four-figure price.
The Ezon is stylish and easy to read, too, with an attractive negative LCD face and clean lines. The face can display just the hours/minutes, or also include the date or a numeric display of seconds. In all modes, a subtle LCD second "hand" progresses around the perimeter of the face.
The watch is water resistant and very easy to clean. Lysol or rubbing alcohol won't mar the finish. Wash it under a faucet with no problem.
Shipping from China was much faster than promised.
I thought there must be a downside so I waited a good while before reviewing — nope, it's still working great and looking like new. I recommend it!

Really Good Value
A blog listed this running watch as an excellent value. I completely agree. I am just a normal guy running to make sure I don’t die of a heart attack. I just need a watch to keep me at my 10 or 11 minute per mile pace. This GPS watch is perfect for that. It is not a fashion watch (see photo, its a bit big) and is it not as accurate or precise as my phone, which triangulates off cell towers as well as satellites. But I was tired of carrying my phone and concerned about damaging it in sudden weather changes. This watch is great. I can consistently keep on pace and meet my goals. Oh, one other limitation, which maybe I have just not figured out, it does not seem to do intervals very easily. I can pace my entire run, or I can pace my intervals, but I can’t seem to conveniently do both in the same run. But again, it may just be my limitation not that of the watch. I am very satisfied with my purchase and recommend this product.

Don’t Buy This Watch!
I received the watch in August2025, it’s 12/04/25 watch does now hold the right time, also doesn’t keep going when I’m running. It’s past the return date. LOL In my opinion, it’s garbage.

Not reliable in GPS mode, takes a long time to find GPS even when outdoors

A GPS watch that works and at a fraction of the price of the brand names!
I basically wanted a GPS Watch that can keep time accurately. I have a few of the atomic timekeeping/radio controlled watches by Casio and Citizen. They are wonderfully accurate but have to you live in an area that can receive the signals. With a GPS watch, you can receive the accurate time updates anywhere and at anytime. This basic Ezon watch does keep time accurately using its GPS function and it’s inexpensive. I really like those beautiful and more advanced GPS watches by Seiko, Citizen, Casio, Suunto, and Garmin but they’re much more expensive.

Fantastic Purchase for the Price
This is a great watch. I am surprised at how impressed I am with it’s looks, and the battery life is unbelievably long. It has been over 2 weeks and it is still completely charged. It is worth way more than it’s price.

Inexpensive … junky toy
Not a real running watch. What good is a running watch where you cannot quickly glance at the screen and be able to see your time? Product specifically designed for online purchases in the hope that laziness will outweigh buyer’s remorse. This thing is useless, I immediately returned it.

Looks great, got quite a number of compliments
Looks great, got quite a number of compliments, however, the battery doesn’t last very long. I used it for 2 months till it required me to charge, then about 3 weeks of usage after that before requiring a charge, and this is without using the GPS functionality. This watch is good for it’s aesthetics and but nothing greater beyond that.
