Great product!
By Tcap on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024
I am very happy with this watch. I have previously owned a FitBit so I have been comparing the two. I really like this watch and it's half the price of a FitBit. There are a lot of settings in the app that you need to make sure to change to fit your needs -how often you want heart rate measured, allow access to contacts, make sure you receive notification of text messages and notifications in any other apps that you want to receive. I just received a notification through Google on my watch about a tornado warning, so that was nice! I have a Google pixel phone and it works well with the watch. A couple of differences I noticed between this and the Fitbit are: constant heart rate tracking - this one tracks on intervals which you can set as you want to (1 min, or 10 mins) whereas the Fitbit tracks constantly. Yeah can also track heart rate on demand with the watch. Also this one tracks calories burned during activity whereas the Fitbit estimates the calories burned throughout the day. However I will say that the Fitbit was always grossly overestimating my calories burned anyway, so that feature was of no value to me. The Fitbit I had would often tell me I burned 2500 calories during the day. I am a 5'3 women, if I based my diet around that and ate 2500 calories I would gain a LOT of weight. I should be eating more like 1700 calories, even on days I exercise. So to me that feature on the Fitbit is not accurate. The band is comfortable and the watch face size is perfect - not too big or small. Battery life seems to be really good. I only lost should 10% of the battery charge throughout the day and I received a lot of notifications. Anyway this is a good quality product at a great price. I personally don't see much advantage with a FitBit over this and this is half the price. If you aren't very tech savvy then have someone help you with setting up the app and changing settings etc. to fit your needs.

Frustrating, annoying, and garbage.
By Justin Davis on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2025
Honestly would not recommend this watch at all. First, the heart rate monitor and sleep monitor are very inaccurate. I compared the heart rate measurement several times during various levels of rest or exercise with the readings from my blood pressure arm cuff. While I was expecting some inaccuracies maybe plus or minus a few bpm the watch would report 90 bpm when my blood pressure device read 130 bpm and when my blood pressure cuff read 90 this would often read anywhere from 70 to 140. Sometimes tapping the measure button would read 130 and then 2 seconds later read 80. Second, the device has a feature where if you press and hold the screen you can quickly change the watch face. This is extremely annoying as the screen is extremely sensitive and I found if my coat sleeve slid forward it would trigger it, or if I crossed my arms it would trigger it, or just resting my arms in my lap would trigger it. There is no way to disable this feature and with how sensitive the screen is to any kind of touch from anything it gets very frustrating very quickly. Finally, most of these issues could still be overlooked to an extent but after having it for only about four months the screen popped out on me and was dangling by the ribbon cable connecting it to the circuit board. I carefully set the screen back in place and glued it back in using a compound that would seal it from moisture so it wouldn't get damaged further but that didn't last long. I glued it once more with some heavy duty glue but that also failed after about a month. The third time it popped out and I glued it back in the screen had solid white vertical lines so I popped the screen out and discovered parts of the wiring on the ribbon cable had cracked due to the screen hanging freely by it. Now, with no functional screen whatsoever I am unable to turn the device off at all since there is no physical way to turn it off without using the screen. Thankfully I was at least able to turn my alarms off through the Zepp app so it would stop buzzing when sitting on my desk. Overall, this thing is cheap garbage and I wouldn't waste a penny on it. Only reason I give it 1 star is you can't give it 0 and my mom likes it cause she has metal allergies and this is the first fitness tracker she's found that does not have any metal against the skin.
