Revainrating 4 out of 5

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

Experience of use - 9 months. From my own experience I can say that glitches are most likely associated with the removal of the watch from the hand. If you wear it without taking it off, then everything seems to be fine - but it's not real. First, they need to be charged at least once every 2 weeks. Secondly, hygiene. Yes, the bracelet is very comfortable and breathable. But all the same, after a shower, moisture remains in the watch under them for a long time, which is not pleasant and useful. You have to take them off and wipe your watch and hand. It's easier to take it off before taking a shower. And here the most interesting begins - then the dream is not synchronized, then the steps are doubled. Everything is fine on the clock, but some kind of nonsense is transmitted to the application. And this is where it starts to get really annoying. The software is frankly raw, and it would seem that it would be easier - add a button to pause / resume monitoring while taking off the clock, but no - we'd better measure the pulse of your nightstand (. As for sports, so far I have only tested it in the pool and on the treadmill. The mode of turning on the display by raising your hand is super, very convenient, especially during training. Swimming statistics are amazing - lane length, number of passes, style, number of strokes, time, average heart rate. And all this - for every pass! At the same time, the number of swims for some reason turned out to be odd, although from which side I entered the pool, I left from that side. And the rest time at the side is added to the time of the swim. To prevent this from happening, apparently you need to pause the workout during the rest, but I havenโ€™t checked what will come of it yet. After the first swim at 50 meters, I looked at my watch and saw a pulse of 198 . I didnโ€™t know that I was a superman))). Perhaps the bracelet was not tightened well, I do not know. There was no such glitch again, but now the watch calculates my maximum heart rate during a workout based on this value (((. The distance on the treadmill differs from the real distance by 30%, but at the end of the workout you can enter an adjustment. In general, the watch is worth its money, but this barrel of honey was not without a few good fly in the ointment.

Pros
  • All the advantages of this gadget have already been described many times by others. As a person who had never used trackers before (except for running sigma), I was struck by the functionality even at the stage of reading the manual. And after purchasing and starting to use, I was pleasantly surprised that it all works almost perfectly.
Cons
  • Glitches. The watch has been field tested in field conditions in Altai. The altimeter is excellent. A 6-8 hour transition in training mode eats up a quarter of the charge. I caught glitches a couple of times - at the beginning of one exit with a sharp rise, I drew an extra kilometer, and at the end of a long transition on the 15th kilometer, I immediately drew +4 km and did not synchronize this workout.
