Buyers, beware - read before you buy!

I originally bought this to track my steps and to have a general idea of my blood pressure (remember that no watch gives a really accurate blood pressure reading). This watch and the app you are using are terrible. The watch itself is fine, I mean the looks. It feels good, doesn't rub weirdly and the bracelet seems to fit both very large and very small wrists. But the functionality is missing. Forget exact step numbers. It seems to refuse to track anything under 30 paces or within a certain distance. I tried to walk back and forth in a straight line about 15 feet long. Nothing. So that's the main purpose, besides telling you that time doesn't even work properly. He only keeps track of things when he wants to. The pulse surprisingly seems to be quite accurate, so no complaints. The app tracks your BPM and gives you the highest, lowest and average heart rate readings. Blood pressure is checked for approximately 15 seconds before a reading is taken. It is NOT RECORDED in the app so you can only see it for about 5 seconds when it appears on the watch screen. This is by no means accurate. I ran 3 tests in a row and got 3 completely different results each time. And again, I know it won't be as accurate compared to a real BP device, but then again, even when it's powered off, it should be consistent. So if one of the main reasons you bought it was blood pressure, DON'T DO IT. There are other functions that are tracked, such as running, cycling, and hiking. I haven't tested them because I don't make any of them. When you run, your steps and heart rate are tracked over time. When cycling, your heart rate and calories burned are recorded. Hiking is the same as cycling. They don't track distance or route as the watch doesn't have GPS. I also didn't test the sleep tracking feature as I haven't slept in the watch yet. I plan to do it tonight and will let you know. Now for the application. You must connect the watch through the app, not through your phone's Bluetooth settings. never mind You MUST keep the Watch Sync application active. So if you close your apps when you're done with them, they won't sync to your watch even if they're supposed to be running in the background. It will sync next time you open the app. Next, create an account. You just enter your email address and password and it should send you a verification code to the email address you provided. It's not like this. This doesn't usually matter as you don't necessarily need an account to use the app. But if for any reason you need help through the app, you MUST have an account. So this is one of those ones you just have to hope it works. Finally, the reach to stay connected sucks. And I say if you are more than 2 feet away from your phone it will turn off. The only good thing about the app is that you can choose between metric or imperial for distance (kilometres or miles) and Celsius or Fahrenheit - although that doesn't make sense since nothing tracks temperature. Work.

Pros
  • Charge Anywhere - Built-in USB charger (no cable required). It only takes about 2 hours to fully charge, and one charge gives you up to 5-7 days of working time. Above.
Cons
  • Some little things
