Review on ANCwear Waterproof Fitness Tracker Watch with Heart Rate Monitor - ๐ŸŠ Smart Activity Band with Sleep Monitor, Step Counter Pedometer for Health Exercise by Fred Meeks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's cheap and not scary if you can live cheaply.

It wasn't uncomfortable to wear, but it was bulkier than expected. The software was easy to set up but didn't work as expected. My wife kept getting text notifications on her device. I never received one. Same phones, same devices, same settings, different results. This device also did not report all results to the Apple Health app as advertised, so the numbers were always different. Workout tracking also didn't sync with other workout apps, but the device app was relatively useless other than step tracking. I also don't know how accurate the blood pressure or heart rate monitor is for this device, but those results will never match those of a dedicated blood pressure cuff. So it's basically become a glorified pedometer. At the price I could really live with these things. What I couldn't live with was a RASH that broke out on my wrist after wearing it for a few days. My wife had no such reaction to the watch. I cleaned the belt thoroughly and checked to see if anything got underneath causing the problem. And then he gave himself 2 weeks before he tried to put the watch back on. A few hours later the rash returned. Since then I've completely given up on this thing. Not bad for the price, but I understand that the price is really low, like the device.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • poorly thought out
