A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

This device disappointed me, because I bought it specifically for the sake of a "smart" alarm clock and sleep quality analysis. True, I did not have other fitness bracelets, and I cannot compare with the work of this function from other manufacturers, but from other reviews I can judge that they have implemented this better.
Otherwise, the bracelet can be used as a wristwatch with a pedometer. The pedometer does not work very accurately, but this is not a problem for me, the extra 100-300 steps per day do not affect the understanding of the overall physical activity. And the bracelet is always on the arm and measures steps even when the phone is on the table. The application has the ability to write behavior labels, but this does not seem to affect the accuracy of the measurements in any way and it is not clear what these behavior labels can be used for at all.
The pulse measurement seems to work correctly when you press the button on the bracelet, but it is not clear how to check the periodic measurement of the pulse.

Pros

Low price, nice appearance, sits well on the hand, light, one battery charge lasts for a long time.

Cons

1. Analyzes sleep completely wrong. True, this is not the merit of the bracelet itself, but the application on the smartphone (android). I'm not even talking about the definition of sleep phases, the duration of sleep itself is determined incorrectly. For example, today he showed me that I slept only 2 hours at night, and in time from 9 to 11 pm. And at that time I didn’t even lie down, but did household chores. Sleep, from 11 to 7 in the morning, the bracelet and the application were not seen. And it happens the other way around, if you just lie in bed and do not sleep, then this time is added to sleep. Of course, a smart alarm clock will not work with such indications, it always works at the time appointed on the phone. 2. The function of turning on the screen to view the time does not always work when it is needed, i. E. when you bring the bracelet to your face, but it can work when it is not needed at all, for example, at night, when you toss and turn in your sleep. 3. After ating the application on the smartphone, the bracelet stopped receiving SMS messages, although there is a connection and the application also has all the permissions. And there was no way to enable this function again. 4. The strap is very difficult to fasten, you have to make a lot of effort, but maybe it's only while it's new (3 weeks)
