Review on πŸ” Pivotal Tracker 1: Efficient Activity and Sleep Monitor (Discontinued by Manufacturer) - Find the Best Deals! by Ryan Barton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good in theory, but doesn't work

It seemed like this tracker could be a great alternative to other fitness trackers. when he works When I first opened the box, which was packaged very well and looked great, I was greeted by a device that looked a lot like a Fitbit tracker. It wasn't charging, so I plugged it in and did some housework. After about an hour, I returned to the tracker to fully charge it. I downloaded the app to my iPhone, turned on bluetooth and it synced very easily. The app is a bit clunky but after 15-20 minutes of play you get used to it. Over the next few days, I noticed that steps are being tracked fairly closely. I compared it to my iPhone pedometer and it was always within 100 or so steps. I really liked the sleep tracker as it vibrates to wake you up, much better than my annoying alarm clock. Here is my problem: It seems like my device keeps rebooting from time to time. Some users said it could be static electricity from the long sleeves? Whatever it is, it's annoying and you shouldn't use a group because it does EVERYTHING. . TIME. Every time it resets I obviously lose all the data up to that point and have to re-sync it to my iPhone because the time gets messed up. Overall, I think the company's plan is a good idea. But until they upgrade their hardware, this is a pointless purchase.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Out of fashion
