Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

The model turned out to be interesting, but there are so many shortcomings for this price category that it is better to immediately save up for something expensive and more advanced. The plastic above the screen is already covered with scratches and one chip, but until the plastic begins to wear off, which is commendable, it adds floors to the subway, but at least 1-2, maximum, and up to 200 steps per trip, depends on how to go. You can take it in order to understand whether you need it or not, as an entry level, but only with clear goals and the concept of what you need from it, otherwise, either save up for an advanced one, or take it cheaper and you will be satisfied. I can’t say anything specific about the heart rate monitor, the pulse counts well, but there’s nowhere to check how accurate it is. Terrible entrance to harmin, through Google as a human being you can’t enter, there are always some troubles, then one does not work, then another.

Pros
  • + keeps 5 days exactly with a constant heart rate monitor and bluetooth synchronization + secure strap + well counts steps and floors, not taking into account the subway + the screen is visible in the sunniest weather + elastic strap + charging around 30 minutes + a large number of activities + wakes up well if you don’t wake up, after 10 minutes another call + quite a beautiful design and not very thick,
Cons
  • - counts steps and floors while I'm sitting in the subway (everything is fine in the car), as if in Sonya the bracelet understands for a long time where you are going, where you are going, etc. and does not count these steps and floor differences. - screen - the surface wears out quickly (scratches and mini chips); - no gps; - cannot identify and record a bicycle; - cannot normally show the speed of movement (average, etc. often exceeds); - uncertain vibration, strongly depends on the density, and also, it would be time to improve the motor already .; - I receive notifications about the beginning of activity, as well as then notifications about completion and synchronization (without the ability to turn off vibration), I would like to regulate what exactly I want to know and what to vibrate, with the ability to turn off unnecessary; - no vibration duration adjustment; - does not always correctly recognize a double tap on the screen (does not always work), but it can work from holding your hand on it;
