![]() ![]() When it comes to step and sleep tracking, the Oaxis Timepiece seemed to do a reasonable job and is in line with previous activity trackers I’ve used as far as daily steps and usual sleep activity. On the smartwatch side of things, the Timepiece tracks steps, sleep activity, heart rate, and can display text and call notifications.

Initially, it took about half a dozen times of running this process before being able to pair it successfully to my Pixel 3.
