Got an Amazon deal for this at $30 reduced from $70. Great value for $30. Nice large square bright display. I get 5 days of battery life before a recharge, but I don't use the texts or phone function... Not interested in that... So that may be why I get so much battery life. Sleep monitoring gives me crazy readings for hours slept, so don't buy if sleep accuracy is important to you. Don't see the point of blood oxygen measurements as they are always 99% so I turn thàt function off. Five default watch faces are available via the watch, and a choice of 280 more via the app. At first I disliked them as being mostly childish, corny, garish or impractical, but I found twenty that I regularly switch to and from. Occasionally, say every couple of days, the watch display does not turn on with movement, and I have to press the button. When I look at the app, the setting that triggers the display to turn on by movement is turned off. This is a bug, I guess, or maybe a fault with my model. Just mildly irritating, and not a big deal. I just turn on that function until it mysteriously turns off the next time. THIS IS NOT A WEAR-OS watch so don't expect to be able to edit or create a watch face, or have access to third-party watch faces. A few of the watch faces on the app change from time to time, but otherwise it is a closed system. You CAN use a background image of your choice as a watch face but that is only for one particular watch face design that has four digit time in small digits at the top, and number steps at the bottom... No date or seconds. The 280 watch faces are a wide variety... Some digital and some analogue style. You are bound to find something that suits you. If I had paid $70 I might have been disappointed with the bad sleep monitoring and no WEAR-OS. I have since got a wear os watch... A used Huawei watch 2... But the round screen is smaller and nowhere near as bright as this $30 gem. Well recommended. Read more
What does $30 get you? Not much these days but it can get you this sick smart watch that works flawlessly. You thought the FitBit was cool back in the day? This things smacks that out of the park. Not only can you monter your steps, your heart rate, your sleep, and your progress for the fitness side. For the fun stuff, you can make calls with it which can make situations like driving without your phone in your hand much safer, that's if you have two older cars like me that don't have Bluetooth. You can also customize the wallpaper and just tinker around with the settings and the formats that just make it a lot of fun to have on your person. The band is easy to adjust for your wrist as well and seems to be holding up well. All and all if this watch lasts over a year you got your money's worth big time. $30 is all it is and it absolutely kills it. 10/10 easy. Read more
This seems to be a decent smartwatch. I only owned one other one and I thought that it was off on some of the things like blood oxygen and sleep so I didn't keep it. I also am aware that wearing EMFs directly on your body 24 hours a day is an endocrine disruptor. But I decided to give it a try because I want to make sure I'm getting my steps in, I want to easily keep track of my other exercises, I want to know my heart rate, I want to see my sleep patterns. So what I can say is, I think for what it is this one works as well as any that I've heard about. I work at a high tech developer who makes the most popular (& most expensive) smart watch and they all tell me they are accurate within a certain amount. For instance they are more accurate than the display on your treadmill because they can read your heart rate, but other times they're not particularly accurate or not 100%. I don't know how it could possibly know that I've fallen asleep or that I've woken up in the middle of that sleep. But my watch does seem to indicate what I've suspected - that I'm not getting enough REM sleep or enough deep sleep. So it could be correct. But I know for a fact that it isn't always accurate. One night I went to sleep around 11:00pm and I woke up around 2:00am, went back to sleep almost immediately, woke up around 6:00 and then fell back to sleep until about 9:00am. Yes it was my day off. But the watch tells me that I fell asleep about 2:00 a.m. and woke up at 6:00 a.m. It didn't capture the 3 hours before or the 3 hours after. It doesn't usually seem that inaccurate and I'm not sure why it was that day. I also note that it frequently tells me my blood oxygen level is 97, however this is not realistic since 97 blood oxygen would be that of someone near death. I'm hoping it's inaccurate. I do think it counts steps pretty accurately and I enjoy seeing how many steps I'm getting in without even realizing it. I use it for walking as well as on my stepper and on my rebounder. It also gives you options to select specific workouts such as weight training, yoga, running, even odd things like hunting, skipping rope and horse riding along with three or four martial art options. It has a extensive list. I wish that list were alphabetical or would rearrange itself according to the ones you've recently used, but that isn't the case. These extracurricular activities are not counted in your steps and they will be found in your phone and then on your watch under Training. I think there's a lot I still don't know about this phone and or the app which is called Glory fit. It seems like there's no way to synchronize the phone with the watch - it just seems to do it periodically throughout the day on its own. I tried to contact the app creator but I did not get a response. So, if you have questions about the app I'm not sure where to find the answers. It seems to be one of those mysterious devices that gives you the basic how to and then you're on your own. But, having said that, it's not brain surgery. It's mainly pretty user friendly and transparent. For the price, I'm very happy with the device. The only thing that I changed was the watch band because, No 1. that silicone against the skin is just too hot and sweaty especially if you're active; & No 2. it was nipping my skin - specifically the little band around the bigger band where you slide in the excess of the watch band would pinch against my skin every time I took it off or on and I actually had little red dots that I initially thought were bug bites lol (Go ahead and take a shot every time I say band 😅). I switched mine out with a stretchy woven fabric band that was inexpensive on Amazon. It came in a 3 pack. I'm very happy with it. There's also a lot of different watch faces that you can use and three different ways to view your phone menus including a list and bubbles. It's super easy to recharge with the provided magsafe charger, and it does last me about 3 days before I have to charge it - which I try to do while I'm relaxing, I just put it on the charger for an hour or less and it's ready to go. It is easy to set up, and easy to choose which apps you want notifications from or whether to receive phone calls on it. You can even set it to do not disturb between certain hours which will turn off the face of the watch, if you have it set to come on when you raise your arm. It seems to do everything it claims, and probably even a little more, within an acceptable amount of accuracy. It even has music controls if you're listening to music or YouTube on your phone.
