Review on Mio Slice Heart Rate Monitor - Navy - Small by Ada Kowalczyk ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not advise buying this product, there is nothing to praise here.

The review's second revision. following a few months of usage. I was unable to connect the wristband to my Chinese Leeco for phone communication. Apple, Google Pixel, and Samsung devices are currently supported, according to the support. My tablet came from Samsung. PAI points can be earned by being in high heart-rate zones; the higher the heart-rate, the more points you can earn. The bracelet's great feature is that it tracks non-step exercises like free weights at the gym, push-ups, pull-ups, and dancing. There is a feature that makes it preferable to manually switch the bracelet into increased activity mode (hold down the switch button). In this mode, the bracelet begins reading the pulse every second right away. If you don't manually engage the mode, there's a chance that your bracelet won't participate in most of the action and won't collect points (more on this under the drawbacks). The biggest drawback is the flawed software, which loses points during synchronization, especially when you feel like you've plowed but the program stupidly ignores this information. There isn't yet firmware to fix this error. The second stupidity is an active overestimation of the pulse; occasionally, it displays utter gibberish and can grant you 15–30 extra points for the entire week. Is it worth it? After using it for a week, I would have recommended it, but the dampness of the software now makes me disappointed. It seems like I rushed into the purchase, ignoring other unfavorable reviews and thinking that the watch actually does its job well. You can purchase it if you are interested in PAI and have confidence in the idea and the business. It makes sense to take something different or avoid purchasing bracelets altogether if all you need is a pedometer and a heart rate sensor with standard capabilities. Conclusion: PAI is an intriguing concept, but the software's implementation is shoddy. The creators delivered an unfinished test product instead of the finished program that was supposed to be released. My firmware hasn't been updated in a while (1.1.0),

Pros
  • 1) Materials that are soft to the touch Soft: The PAI system, which determines a person's daily point total based on their daily cardiac activity.
Cons
  • 1) The strap is not particularly comfy. can come loose if it bumps into something. a few times while putting on clothes, and during sleep. In essence, not a cake. Nothing is wrong with random swings. 2. Batteries. Disable the auto display. Because you can only see something in the shadow cast by the bracelet when the brightness is set to average during the day, I increased the brightness to its maximum setting. With regular activation of the exercise mode and active use, batteries last 2.5–3 days. Soft: The application's 2.7-star rating on Google Play gives some indication. 1) A relatively small number of cellphones are supported. 2) Doesn't always take pulse readings at the specified interval of five minutes. Sometimes, the bracelet is unable to accurately calculate the pulse in the time allocated to it and fails to do so. As a result, there can be a 10 to 20 minute gap between readings. Your behavior might not be noted as a result. 3) The Android application contains a few statistics metrics. made a simple gentleman's outfit. Similar-priced competitors typically have more aesthetically pleasing and comprehensive statistics. 4) The application indicates that the bracelet is more than 85% charged after a minute of charging it, even though the bracelet itself is unquestionably not fully charged. 5) There is no web interface for PAI, but several rivals have superior ones with this, allowing users to view graphs and statistics on a monitor instead of a phone. 6) If synchronization occurs the day after the action, no points are added to PAI at that time. In other words, you can practice in the gym all night, earn 30 points on the bracelet, and then synchronize when you return home at one in the morning. The graphs will also demonstrate how intense the action was at the same moment. I wrote to the support developers about this, and they promised to create a patch. A month and a half later, nothing has changed. 7) On occasion, it significantly overestimates the pulse in a proactive manner (shows more than 130 when walking calmly). Extra points are given as a result.
