Pros
- The price, strap, design, charging time, and number of steps can't be beat, plus the time displayed on the bracelet lights up when you lift your hand, a feature that doesn't always work properly but does here. Since my wrist is not excessively large, the bracelet fits perfectly and stays put. It's quite fragile. The pulse "counts" with incredible rapidity and precision. The bracelet's simple one-button interface makes it very accessible.
Cons
- Not surprisingly, the "incoming call notification" feature does not function properly when the Cyrillic alphabet is used. When a call comes in, the bracelet should show the first four letters of the caller's name, but if the contact name is written in Cyrillic, it shows four question marks instead. But what really surprised me was that the bracelet "completely" ignores an incoming call if the caller's name in the phone book is longer than ten characters, resulting in a "glitch" and no vibration or notification of the call. If someone in my phone's address book dials my number and sees my name as "Semyon," my bracelet will vibrate and show an image of a phone or four question marks (since the Cyrillic bracelet does not understand) to indicate that I have an incoming call. In addition, take note (!) If you have the same contact saved in your smartphone's phone book under the name "Semyon Semenych," but then rename that contact to "Semyon Semenych," the bracelet will not receive the call under any circumstances, regardless of the settings on either the bracelet or the smartphone. This is because beyond a certain number of characters, an algorithm will automatically disregard the name. All incoming text message alerts will be treated in the same manner. It's also possible that this has something to do with the Cyrillic script. Still bewildered, I returned the bracelet to the shop from where I had originally purchased it.
