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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good bracelet, unreliable software

The bracelet itself is simple and also fits my small wrist. Initial syncing with the app was nice and quick, and the bracelet seems to track steps well. My issues are related to bracelet sync/reset. For me it was losing data several times a week, either it wasn't tracking sleep, or the time wasn't synced, or it was completely losing everything. This is quite frustrating as none of the data is saved/cannot be synced before the reset. I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or something that can be fixed with software, but it's just not reliable. The application itself works or not. The dashboard makes sense and goes well with the look of IOS8 (works on iPhone 5). However, synchronization logs can be very frustrating; Pulling down the panel to sync data makes sense, but why should I go to "Profile" -> "Settings" to sync the time on the bracelet separately? Why do I have to press "Group" and the Bluetooth icon on the dashboard to sync the alarm and activity reminder? 3 different locations to sync different aspects of the band doesn't make sense to me; maybe I'm missing something, but I had to do all 3 to get everything in sync (and since the bar keeps resetting, I have to do this often). There are also minor issues with the software, e.g. B. Why the sleep section shows the average sleep time for all days, regardless of whether sleep was recorded per day; Wouldn't it make more sense to average the number of hours a person slept when their sleep was being tracked and exclude the days when they didn't sleep? Hopefully there's an app update or firmware fix for these issues, because at the moment I can't reliably track anything with that

Pros
  • Great for a small home

Has great potential but with critical flaw.
