Overall great purchase

Overall I personally think it's a great product with lots of nice features. I'm not entirely sure how well the pedometer works. I drive a forklift for a living and my forklift has touch controls which means very little movement. I often still register my steps even if I sit for an hour or more. I also work nights and don't like how it tracks sleep and would like to see where I can change the start and end of the day. What I really like about this group is the ability to set it to vibrate on notifications. do you want. I also like the fact that if I forget my phone it will also notify you if you go out of range of that phone. I live alone and don't have a phone at home and if you're like me it's easy to lose your phone. You can use Find Phone, and even when it's on silent, it will increase the volume and ring, making it much easier to find instead of having to clean up the aftermath of cleaning up what you just destroyed to look for it. The battery life was great, I usually charge it every 3-4 days. With the display in the application, there is usually a day plus a fee for the connection. It comes with a small strap and a large strap that are adjustable so sizing is a breeze. This group has few disadvantages. First you need to download 3 separate apps to make it work on your smartphone. I'm not a big fan of sweaters but I got quite a sweat where the group was chilling. I also ride my bike a lot and would love to have it recorded in some way. I bought it because it was one of the cheapest and figured if I like it I'll just buy a better one, but having said that I'm going to hold on to this one until it dies. If Sony releases a device that works with cycling, it will replace it.
