Unfortunately the app is not great. Disabling random notifications accompanied by vibrations (“You’re doing well!” ???? I’m sitting down) is difficult or impossible. When you’re trying to focus on work and getting distracted by vibrations on your arm and then trying to figure out how to try and disable them, it’s not good. Worse still, after using this watch for several months I’ve still not figured out how. I’m a programmer and not exactly tech-illiterate; the app is just terribly designed.
The worst is when I’ve had alarms wake me up at times I want to be sleeping, accompanied by vibrations, when I’ve not set any alarms. I’d already disabled alarms on the app but this still happened once randomly after weeks of using the device. This hasn’t happened since but not great. A new device should not come with any pre-set alarms, assuming the user wants to get up at a certain time.
The watch is cheap and works great if you just wanna check heart rate and steps, but the annoying notifications make me want to not use the watch. I wish the app would just get out of my way, rather than insisting upon itself.

Let’s work from the ground up.
Hardware:
Pros: Comfortable band, seems durable from around a month’s use, simple securing mechanism, does not feel bulky. Bright, colourful and high definition screen.
Cons: Screen not large enough for 90% of the information displayed. I try to use watch faces with the largest digital time display as all other information is useless. The screen itself does not take up the whole oval displayed in the images – it is a smaller rectangle, but does blend well in most light. When swimming, some unwanted action sometimes occurs from the touchscreen, although most of the time the lock does prevent this. Does not respond well to water on the screen when interacting – a hard button would really be beneficial to start/stop the swimming workout for example. No speaker which makes Alexa less useful and again, the screen is too small to easily read text responses.
Software:
Pros: Clear display of data, some nice functionality like rearranging displayed workout options etc. Easy connection, syncs quickly.
Cons: Very limited watch faces and very little to customize in terms of time/heart rate etc layout. Either look cheap or display so much information the text is too small and becomes near unreadable.
Accuracy:
Pros: Swimming accuracy seems good although it nearly always gets the most common stroke front crawl wrong and confuses for butterfly. YouTube reviewers do show this as more accurate than some watches costing hundreds.
Cons: Heart rate stops being recorded at some points in the day for no apparent reason (imagine band not placed correctly) and sleep cycles are questionable.
Battery:
Pros: Don’t worry. It’s pretty great. At least 1 week with moderate activity- every half hour heart rate tracking, sleep tracking, workout tracking once a day. Neat charger.
Overall: For the money, you really can’t say no. Maybe some better for price of £35 but at £25 on deal does what it says on the website- does not over or under deliver, good little wrist watch, I’d expect to pay more to get more out of such a product.

I’ve had this for about five days at the point of writing this review and I’m in two minds whether or not to return it. It certainly has a lot of features for the price but I have found some of these to be so unreliable that it makes me a) unable to use those features and b) question other functionality that I can’t test in the same way.
Main issues are as follows:
Sleep tracking-
I mainly bought this for the sleep tracking functionality and unfortunately I just don’t find this accurate. I can’t really comment on the deep sleep/light sleep/REM however it definitely does not track wake ups accurately. I currently have a four month old baby and I track her sleep manually on an app on my phone. I do this in real time so when she wakes up I track that she has woken up and I’m able to compare this against what this band tells me about my sleep. I am the only person that gets up in the night for her so my wake ups should be at least as many as hers are because obviously I must be awake in order to track it on my phone. I also only tracked these wake ups if I have to do something e.g. pick her up/replace a dummy so there will be at least some movement involved when I wake up. For the last two nights my lovely daughter has woken up seven times each night after the point I have gone to bed. The band has registered these as to wake ups and three wakes ups respectively. It also consistently over all the days I have tracked, underestimates the amount of time that I’m awake for. My understanding is that this feature is mainly based on movement and perhaps it is a case of it thinking I am asleep if I’m feeding the baby for example because there is very little movement in this process. Regardless of the reason it makes the tracking of this inaccurate because presumably the score is at least in part reflective of how many times you’ve woken up. I can’t really understand how you can have a relatively positive sleep score when you have been woken up roughly every hour!
Step counter-
Step counting was another thing I was particularly keen to use on this band. For the first few days I felt that this was pretty good however this was when my main activity involved walking the dog or simply walking around the house.
Where it massively fails is when I have used it whilst pushing a pushchair.
When I tried troubleshooting, I can see that the way it does steps relates to your height and your arm swing so potentially pushing a pushchair means it can’t register steps.
This isn’t a small issue for me because a lot of my walking is with a pushchair and a 3 mile walk is coming out is about 500 steps which is obviously not right. I can see from customer questions that other people have had this issue also.
Comfort-
I find this band really uncomfortable. I do have very small wrists so this could play a part in this issue for me. I find that it digs in to my arm and if I loosen it it says that it’s not tight enough to function. I’m basically aware that it is there all of the time that I’m wearing it which I don’t think you should be with a watch. It also leaves an indent on my wrist.
User friendlinesses –
Generally speaking this is very user-friendly however it’s quite difficult to work out how to turn on and off certain features. I have tried googling these but I often end up with results for different types of band and have struggled to get the answers I need.
Health monitoring –
I don’t have any reason to believe there is any issue with heart rate monitoring, PAI or stress measurements but I haven’t compared these to other sources.
Alexa –
Once enabled, this seems to work pretty well but it’s worth noting that it’s a bit limited in its capabilities because it can only provide responses that can be written on the screen. Also things like music playing are not supported so it really depends on what you mainly use Alexa for.
The App –
The app is fairly good but it may be just me but I can’t work out a way to drill into the information on previous days. Once the day is over, the result is summarised and I don’t think you can get back into the detail so you can only compare different days on a high level.
All in all, for the price of this band it’s probably worth a go however if you have a young child who wakes up a lot and goes in a pushchair/pram – you might find some limitations with the accuracy of sleep monitoring and/or steps.
I’m certainly impressed by how many features there are for the price and it was very easy to set up in terms of syncing with my phone et cetera and can see why this product is generally very highly rated however for me I feel like the inaccuracies mean that it does not do what I bought it for.

Brilliant quality for the price. Don’t expect strap to last too long though, it’s very soft and will split in time. Had to replace it after 9 months with a fabric one (from Amazon. Probably reviewed it). 5* otherwise and nice strap while it lasts.
Very accurate for the price too, but I knew this already from YouTube (guy who works in medical field who tests smart/fitness watches vs actual sleep testing equipment and ECG equipment. Can’t remember channel name).
Can’t fault this much at all after 14 months. Value for money? Absolutely.
