Review on ๐Ÿšฒ SmartHalo: Revolutionize Your Bike with Smart Bike Accessory โ€“ GPS Navigation, Anti-Theft Alarm, Fitness Tracker & More! by Bryan Covington

Helpful, but I didn't want to stay on the handlebars

I used this on my old bike and loved the features but there were some limitations. The anti-theft feature really helped me keep my bike safe when unattended and even gotten into a good rain never hurt. The only thing you can know is if someone set the alarm when you come back but not how it happens so you can go to your bike. Nothing ever happened to me, but it was a bit exhausting. Trip tracking was pretty good not knowing the Strava, but it summarizes trips in a day and you can't tell how each trip went. Navigation was pretty good too, can't complain about that. A notification indicating that there is a notification on your phone. It would be better if I could set the text for another app as there is only one person I have also sent texts to. Everyone else was on the messaging app. Although the call was fine. The alarm clock is good but hard to unlock at times, especially when I accidentally turned it on. Countless times I've come very close to activating the alarm when trying to unlock it, but have failed several times. The light is just useless, not very strong. Even after changing the settings to manually turn the light on, I still accidentally turned it on so many times. Speed tracking only works if you're recording a ride, so commuting to where I wanted speed was still not possible without turning tracking on. Unlocking and removing after a while was also a pain. (After I took it off to charge it) At one point it even fell off the handlebars completely so I went back and grabbed it to find the plastic had broken along with the device and stopped working. It was nice to have some time and helped me keep track of my speed and calm down, but after a while I decided to do seppuku within a mile of my house. I gave it an extra star for getting the job done, but not for long.

Pros
  • PROTECT YOUR BIKE. Have peace of mind knowing your bike is protected by a 110dB motion alarm.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
