Review on ๐Ÿ” Pivotal Tracker 1: Efficient Activity and Sleep Monitor (Discontinued by Manufacturer) - Find the Best Deals! by Yvette Gonzalez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I don't hate it though.

So let's get down to business: The quality of the tape is better than I expected for the price. The display is good, but the length of the hard plastic is too long to fit right on my wrist, although that doesn't really matter. The battery lasts two days and still shows that it is fully charged. I like the vibration alarm function. However, it was a bit tricky to set up, and I'm a technologically savvy person. By that I mean my device went to sleep and I thought the device wouldn't turn on or charge properly, and a few forums before I found out that it takes a double tap to wake up from sleep before I could can switch through. So a simple main operations page would be nice. As for the app, it's definitely missing some basics. Logging food/calories burned, exercise (extra calories burned), and a way to edit sleep (important if you're not turning sleep on or off on time) are a few essentials in my opinion. In short, I'm not sure I need a bracelet to tell me everything the pedometer app on my phone could tell me without the extra bulk. The only feature my phone doesn't have is the ability to track my sleep disorders (if I turn sleep on and off properly) and the wake-up vibrate feature. I don't hate it, but I'm not sure I like it either. And it may not apply specifically to this group, maybe it's just the idea of such groups in general. Features like a heart rate monitor and more versatile apps can help the next group. That's my opinion after 2 days but I still let it grow inside me. **** I've been using it for 13 days. Down from 3 stars to 2 stars ********************* Battery - still 2/3 full with only an initial charge Sleep - uncomfortable and I forget to turn it on Im Sleep mode is the mode buggy half the time! :one. Last week I didn't touch the bracelet all day - at 10:30 pm I look at it and the time is shown as 8:52. At that time he was freezing and didn't write anything down all day. Counting steps is often very inaccurate - 32 steps are added without moving, hours of walking with very few steps added. This afternoon I synced the strip for 1079 steps, then the strip reset but the info was saved in the phone. I thought maybe it's okay; I never tested I guess. But after another 4500 steps I synced again thinking it would be added but instead the bar reset back to zero and nothing was added on my phone. Now I tend not to like it. It's also quite annoying that it doesn't work or share information with other apps. Which, along with the inability to edit inaccuracies, will likely result in a refund or re-gift?

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
