Review on π Mio Slice Heart-Rate-Monitors: Sienna, Small - Enhance Fitness Monitoring with Precision by Goro Akechi α
The purchase did not bring joy, the product is bad.
Second revision of the review. After a couple of months of use. Communication with phone: I couldn't connect the bracelet with my Chinese Leeco. The support said that Apple, Pixel and Samsung devices are currently supported. I got a tablet from Samsung. Earning PAI: You get PAI points for being in high heart rate zones, the higher the heart rate, the more you accumulate. The cool thing is that the bracelet counts non-step activities, like free weights at the gym, or push-ups, or pull-ups, or dancing. There is a feature that it is better to enter the bracelet into increased activity mode on your own (hold down the switch button), in it the bracelet immediately starts reading the pulse every second. If you do not activate the mode manually, you risk that your bracelet will miss the lion's share of the activity (more details in the shortcomings) and will not earn points. The most fierce minus is the crooked software, which loses points during synchronization, especially when you come home with the feeling that you have plowed, and the program stupidly ignores this data, there is no firmware that corrects this cant yet. The second moronity is an overestimation of the pulse in an active fashion, sometimes it shows absolute nonsense and can give you 15-30 extra points out of nowhere for the whole week. Is it worth taking: If after a week of use I wanted to advise it, now the dampness of the software leaves disappointment, it seems to me that I was in a hurry with the purchase, not listening to other negative reviews, believing that this watch really does its job well. If you are interested in PAI and have faith in the concept and this company, you can buy it. If you just need a pedometer and a heart rate sensor with standard functionality, then it makes sense to take something else, or not spend money on bracelets at all. Outcome: PAI is an interesting concept, but the implementation of the software is crude. The developers did not finish the normal software for the release and released a raw test product on the market. My firmware has not been ated for a couple of months (1.1.0),
- Physical: 1) Pleasant to the touch material Soft: The PAI system, which calculates points daily, depending on the person's cardiac activity during the day.
- Physical: 1) Not a very comfortable strap. can unfasten if it hits an object. Unbuttoned during sleep, a couple of times while putting on clothes. Basically, not a cake. With arbitrary swings, everything is fine. 2) Battery. Turn off auto display. I turned the brightness to full, because at an average brightness during the day you can see something only in the shadow from the bracelet. Batteries last for 2.5-3 days, with active use with frequent activation of the activity mode. Soft: The rating of the application on google play at 2.7 points, as it were, hints. 1) A very limited list of supported smartphones. 2) Does not always measure the pulse with the stated interval of 5 minutes. The bracelet sometimes cannot properly calculate the pulse for the time allotted to it and does not do this. Therefore, the intervals between readings can be 10-20 minutes. This means that your activity may not be recorded. 3) Few statistical metrics inside the android application. Made a minimalist gentleman's set. Competitors in the same price range usually have more beautiful and detailed statistics. 4) When I turn on the bracelet for charging, after a minute in the application it shows that it is more than 85% charged, although the bracelet itself is definitely not fully charged. 5) There is no web interface for PAI, where graphs and statistics could be viewed not from the phone, but from the monitor, many competitors have better ones with this. 6) Does not accrue points in PAI upon synchronization if the synchronization occurred the next day after the activity. That is, you can practice in the gym all evening, get 30 points on the bracelet, come home at one in the morning, synchronize and your points will be erased. At the same time, the graphs will show that the activity was very high. I wrote about this to the support developers, they promised to make a patch, but nothing has changed in a month and a half. 7) Sometimes it greatly overestimates the pulse in an active fashion (shows more than 130 when walking calmly). Because of this, extra points are awarded.
