Review on ASUS VivoWatch BP Smart Watch, Black by Aneta Kaska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

They perform their function of collecting data. They are not 100% accurate, but they see the averages, and most often they either coincide or are very very close to the numbers on the tonometer. And besides, it's still a watch, with a heart rate monitor, relaxation index and other functions. For 12-13t. R - of course I would like more (for example, a full-fledged OS, like analogues for the same money). But this device is specifically for collecting health data, you should not consider them as a smart watch - you will be disappointed. Someone else wrote - about a terrible display (they say it's ugly, not of high quality). The display is similar, and most likely it is like a simple reader (electronic book) can be seen normally. Of course, these watches were not created in order to watch films on them. Indeed, due to such a display, they can work without recharging for 1.5 or even 2.5 weeks.

Pros
  • Good day. I read reviews, including here before buying a watch, and to be honest, I was already ready not to buy, due to inaccuracies in measurements and the dampness of the firmware that everyone writes about here. However, I bought it for my needs (an even greater role was played by the markdown from behind a crumpled box). I also bought it because I am hypertensive, and collecting pressure statistics is very important for me, and the doctor constantly asks me to keep a pressure diary. But at work, I frankly forget, and if I remember, it’s somehow inconvenient to sit down in front of my colleagues and measure the pressure, have to go out somewhere or wait until you’re left alone. Then the road home by car, this and that, the fifth or tenth. And there are very few filled days in my diary. We needed a device that could measure pressure relatively comfortably quickly and at any point. Now about the most important - about measurements. Here a lot of people write that I measured it with an automatic blood pressure monitor and the values ​​\u200b\u200bdid not agree. Let's start with the fact that automatic blood pressure monitors also lie, and the pressure can change over time. day. Read the proofs in medical articles and books or ask the doctors in the hospital why they do not measure the pressure with an automatic sphygmomanometer. I measure by hand. And I have a very good hit from the first time of calibration - the difference on the upper limit is 2, on the lower 3. In subsequent measurements, there is an error of up to 5-7 points. For me, 120 to 90 and 125 to 95 - as hypertension is not a big difference, I know by measurement that I am in my norm. I don't need more. If you are a hypertensive patient with experience, then you most likely know the average numbers of your pressure (provided that it does not constantly jump up and down with certain diseases). I have average numbers in the range of 120-90. 130-100. I need a watch in order to track the excess of the zone 140-100 and above (when, how and under what conditions), and then adjust with the doctor. And here they perform their function 100%, they allow me to monitor the pressure. I was finally able to provide full statistics to the doctor for the month.
Cons
  • Yes, this is not a 100% accurate instrument. Yes, there may be errors in measurements in certain situations. -Yes, you need to back up the results with measurements from your blood pressure monitor, check that the clock is measured there. I mean that once a day or every few days I measure with an ordinary tonometer and enter the data through the application into statistics. - Yes, in some places the software lags. For example, you can't leave the game (snake or Tetris - there are some :)) until you lose. - Step counter - often wrong.
