The quality is spoiled, the product is bad.

I will not write that there is no display and vibration motor. All this can be found in the specifications. The bonus for this is a long working time. In order: 1) The registration process is very tedious, some settings entered cannot be changed in the mobile application (only on the site) 2) the application is poor, most of the indicators have not moved from their place in a week of use. 3) actually counts only steps and monitors sleep, all other information is garbage or simply does notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good quality materials, price, nice packaging
Cons
  • Works only with mediocre branded software

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

After registering on the site, problems with connecting to the phone begin . Much depends on the OS on the phone. If you have Android 4.4 and above, you can try installing from Google Play. I bet on HTC One Mini Android 4.4. The program was installed without problems (version 4.5), the bracelet connected, the account too. But the bracelet does not sync ! He writes, an error and try later . And terrible brakes . On Google Play, I write the same in the reviews . Although someone passes. If notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1. Price, bought for 990. 2. Quality of assembly and materials. 3. Complete set: bracelet, clip and strap. 4. Battery life 6 months. 5. The site has a lot of settings and indicators. 6. Synchronization with MyFitnesPal.
Cons
  • 1. I checked how it counts the steps. The bracelet overestimates them. 2. Does not track sleep phases. No alarm. 3. All management on the website is in English. 4. No display. 5. The site is in English, I know it well, but it still annoys me. Although the software for the phone is 2022. 6. No firmware ate for Android. 7. A very poor program for the phone, although a lot can be configured on the site. 8. Requires BT 4.0.

Much better app than my husband's Polar Loop app

It works well as a general guide for your daily activities. The app is way better than my husband's Polar Loop app. The sleep function doesn't always work well, but that doesn't bother me.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Frequency

There is pretty basic info

There is pretty basic info like how far you walk and how much you sleep. I have not yet had any experience with the personal trainer "Kik" with the device. Not sure how it works as the instructions were pretty limited. Also, the software seems SUPER easy. Not very impressed but ok for the price.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Like this product for the price

Like this product for the price. Sure, Fitbit can be better, but for $30 or less you can't beat it. It tracks steps very well and I like that it's battery powered because I never have to charge it and the battery lasts a long time. The app is easy to use, but unfortunately it is not yet compatible with the MyFitnessPal app.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

GREAT customer service and value for money

Very good value for money! I got my first one and it didn't work properly. I contacted the company and they were quick to respond with troubleshooting ideas. They didn't work so they sent me a new one without my asking. Works great on a bracelet. The app offers a lot of information and is easy to use. The only reason. 4 Stars - I was unlucky with the clip I was dying to work on so I didn't have to put on an eye patch. It doesn't track as accurately on the clip

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Faulty

Simple but does what I need.

So far so good. I get paid under my health insurance program for using a fitness tracker. Fitbug was one of the cheapest options. I like to use a clip and wear it on my boot because I hate wearing things on my wrists. So far it tracks my steps, syncs with my phone and my health insurance website. I really enjoy seeing how much walking I do during my workday. I've only been using it for a week so far. I will update my post if it stops working properly.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

lived! for clips, armbands and bracelets

I love my fitbug and what it has done for me. I lost 30 kg in 6 months. It was so helpful to keep track of my sleep and steps. I think it's accurate and detailed enough. I don't think you have to pay for the more expensive ones. It's really good and it works really well for me. I love the portal and the advice it gives me to continue my progress. I also like that I don't have to charge it and miss my bedtime, but it runs on a watch battery and I only had to replace mine after 7 months. I evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Ultimately, it's not worth it

Unless you're constantly moving, Orb won't transmit your steps to the app, and even if you're constantly moving, you'll have to use the app on your phone to stream data. I work at a desk, but I wanted something that would motivate me to move more. Since I don't walk very often, if I wanted to know my progress I had to open the app, manually press the button on the ball and hope they synced. This worked about 70% of the time. As for sleep tracking, you'll have to manually turn it on again andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
