My fitness watch band was delivered yesterday. Within 10 minutes, I had the app installed, the band connected, and my account and setting set up. It was super easy and quicker than I had expected. I have been enjoying checking my stats and steps since I put it on. Hoping this lasts for a while, it's definitely worth the affordable price and can be compared to the brand name, more expensive models.

When my Fitbit broke, I needed another fitness tracker quickly and this was a good price and shipped very quickly. It’s not bulky to wear and I like that the band has a peg to secure the end of the band so it’s not flapping around all over like the Fitbit did.At first it seemed ok but as I’ve used it over the last couple of months, I’ve noticed a few drawbacks. They’re not dealbreakers but they are annoyances and reasons I likely wouldn’t purchase another one down the road.For starters, the battery does not last very long. It said it would last 7-10 days but I’ve yet to get that efficiency. I have to charge mine every few days bc it has to be at 100% brightness to be able to see it during the day. It loses about 15-20% charge over a day. I’ve made sure to remove the drink/ movement reminders and only have the raise to wake during the day (it’s in DND at night to avoid being blinded if I move my arm when I turn in my sleep) and my morning alarm. Otherwise there shouldn’t be anything draining the batter that quickly.Charging itself is easy enough but I’m concerned that removing and reattaching the band every few days could wear down the band and make it less secure as I continue using it. Also, if I forget to attach it to the other side of the band to keep it together, I’ve forgotten where I put it initially and thought I was going to need to buy a replacement band.It will buzz when you have an active call coming in which is great but several times, it’s just kept buzzing even after the caller hung up until I manually stop the notification on the watch.The tracker app doesn’t update automatically. I have to make a reminder to open the app so it can update my steps throughout the day. Otherwise it won’t log anything even though my watch shows the steps for the day.And on top of that, even when I manually sync the watch to the app, it’s still not showing the correct steps in the app (as seen in pictures).Also, it doesn’t seem to automatically track when I’m in a workout or sense my elevated HR to prompt me to start tracking workouts like my Fitbit could do.Overall, for the basic needs of tracking my steps each day, it’s mostly correct (on the watch). I just have to manually add steps in my health app if I need to ensure it’s accurate for other health apps that sync to my health data and track my steps. So if you’re looking for something that will seamlessly monitor your health stats in the background or automatically sync that data or alert you if you’re HR elevates to ensure it’s tracking workouts… don’t get it.If you’re looking for something to tell you the time or how many steps you’ve taken without pulling out your phone, this’ll do.

Okay, so I never take the time to write reviews but I feel like people keep ragging on this watch when I've had a great experience with it.What I use it for: I use it to track my biking and other physical activities, sleep patterns, water and sedentary reminders, and sometimes stepsWhat works:- The watch surprisingly has a good battery. It's a bit inconsistent, but usually I can get it to last between 3-5 days. For 20 bucks, I think that's pretty good- Charging it is really easy. The first couple of times I was worried I was going to break it, but it's hearty and can take a lot of abuse.- Their rating for water is true and honestly a bit better. i went kayaking with some friends and forgot the watch was on. I flipped over and completely dunked the watch. Throughout the day I did various water activities and continuously had water around the watch. Now, I'm not saying that you should take it into the shower or swim with it, but don't worry about doing small stuff like washing your hands and it's not a big deal if you step into the shower, forget to take it off, and then actually take it off.What's a little iffy:- The step counter is... questionable. On my phone my Google Fit usually has about half the amount of steps as what the watch shows. I don't particularly mind, it's not a big problem for me, but if you are getting this for the primary reason of counting your steps, be aware it's not 100% exact- I do agree that the connectivity isn't the best, but I don't want my watch to be buzzing 24/7 so I don't mind. It also wants more permissions than I give it so that's probably why my connectivity isn't great lolWhat doesn't work:- Nothing really comes to mind? It tracks your heart rate pretty well and idk about the other things it tracks and how exact they are but it's cool that they're there. Overall this is a decent watch for 20 bucks, the battery lasts for a good chunk of time, and although there are connectivity problems, the help that they provide is great and they answer quickly. Speaking of the IT department (idk what else to call it), you get a 2 year warranty if you scan a qr code. I think that really sold me because I know I will have some problems and knowing that I didn't have to pay anything extra and it should last 2 years makes me feel betterAnyways, I hope this helps!
