I got this watch for Christmas for my family to get healthy together and I had a checklist of requirements that I wanted it to do, I made sure that the product I was looking at had a camera setting, customizable watch backgrounds, weather alerts, sms/app notifications from Snapchat, and blood oxygen level calculations. To my surprise the app compatible with my version of the watch doesn’t support any of these (well it has four lame backgrounds to choose from). There are other apps by the same company that are advertised as compatible and having these settings, but my watch won’t connect even though I thought I was getting an updated new version of the product. I read reviews that seemed to suggest that most versions of the watch are only compatible with some of the functions advertised. This is very disappointing since I did so much research on what the capabilities of the device were. I think that this company needs to make their different watch software compatibility clear. I think that when they update this app for this version, they need to deliver the capabilities that they advertised or make the different apps compatible with all the devices. Options in the app to use the watch as a phone camera remote, better alerts/notifications, smooth user interface, and better data analysis of collected information are all things that this company advertises and the app doesn’t deliver.

So I’ve had mine for approximately 24 hours now. My coworker has a couple of Fitbit devices we compared side by side and the interface on the device looks nearly identical. There are a few additional functions on this that are pretty cool that are not on the Fitbit! I especially like the picture taking function and the ability to skip forward, backward and pause songs on the Bluetooth connected device. The heart rate monitor and the sleep rate monitors work well and I liked the details you can view on the graphs in the app. So the cons... If you allow the gps function to be turned on, you will have to keep your phone on you to track your steps or it won’t count them. (what’s the point of using this if you are going to carry your phone, because then your phone is doing the tracking?) I love having the ability to use the device for weather capabilities, however, this is an area still needing improvement... the weather function requires you to turn on gps permission for updates on weather to push to your tracker. So at this point I’m toggling gps permission on and off so I can use all the features. The app has a lot of tools in it and it’s nice. I wish it would have the ability to allow certain functions access to gps so it won’t interfere with step tracking or weather updates. But so far I think it’s worth the money spent!

For the price? People can't complain. We knew what we were getting ourselves into when we opted for the $40 fitness watch vs the $200 Fitbit watch. I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus. The app DOES record my sleep (awake, light and deep state), it does record my steps, notifications DO work, music control DOES work and it displays what time and date it is.. that's enough for me. One of the "face displays" is of a snowy mountain and the weather. I wish it would actually display the current weather "snow/rain/fog/sunny" instead and I do wish the temperature would be the actual temperature instead of a fixed temperature reading. With that being said, if you activate the weather feature, you can swipe up to the weather: however, it does not display your locations. Weather app said I was 75*F and the screen said 85*/93* .. guessing for the lowest to highest. Very inaccurate and I don't know what city it was taking that data from. I've showered with it w/ Zero damage. And I don't know how accurate, if at all, the heart rate monitor is. I was running on treadmill (185 heart rate according to the treadmill). Watch said 105. I had it tighter on my wrist as the instructions suggest when working out. No difference on how tight I made it.

This watch has been my favorite, up until about a week or two ago I believe? Those of you commenting that it doesn’t track your runs or bike rides.. it does have touchy Bluetooth connections and no matter what it says, even after syncing the map won’t show up properly unless your phone is with you and close at all times(on the run/walk/hike ect). Anyways, the reason I am writing a review is bc as of the past two weeks, my workout times are NOT correct. It said an 8 min workout for me today even tho I did 47 mins😂, the graph is correct but not the calories bc the time says 8 mins. I screenshot abs post my workouts online so I hope they fix this!! I honestly have loved this app.. I know it can be a wee bit faulty sometimes and you should check the cals on a free calculator website if you’re doing something like a hiit or heart pounding sweat sesh.. bc the calories are majorly underestimated no matter what. The only time it’s accurate is with a walk or yoga(so a lower heart rate)so that’s my tip. I mean it’s an adorable fitness watch! You get what you pay for, those things wouldn’t bother me but just PLEASE FIX THE WORKOUT TIME LOG. Thank you 🙏 🙂(I will update my rating to be better once there’s an update fixing the glitch).
