Inside an eBay sonic health bracelet for lymph drainage and fat reduction

  • The original listing for this watch stated "Slimwe Ultrasonic Body Shape Wristband, Lymph Drainage Magnetic Bracelet" Which may be copied from the listing for an equally suspicious product. They've since tamed the listing to "Slimwe Ultrasonic Body Bracelet Shape Wristband, LED casual sports touch Bracelet"
    The listing originally showed various medical-style pictures implying that the unit liquifies fat cells, prevents lymph node blockage and promotes blood circulation.
    In hindsight, I noticed that the missing LED may have been as supplied, so maybe this is just their way of getting rid of factory rejects.
    Nice PCB though.

    I have a watch that looks identical, but has none of that newfangled lymphatic magnetism and magical ultrasonic fat obliteration rays business, it mostly just counts stuff, like time and steps and heartbeats. I'm surprised by the "non user serviceable" batteries, because I have a rechargeable battery in mine - it's one of those li-ion "spicy pillow" ones and naturally there is an accompanying charger - tiny little thumb sized black plastic socket with a bafflingly short cord. And as you mentioned, a truly awkward setup process due entirely to the fact there is only one button on the thing.
    I also once ended up with an older version of the same device, again rechargeable, but this one uses a micro usb interface to do the heavy lifting. You may be delighted to know that the older one is actually in pieces but because of my terrifying inability to throw away anything with salvageable electronic doodads, I still have it... and it's conveniently within reach... _One moment please..._ For the curious, bored, or desperately procrastinating, here's some more "fake fitbit" carnage pics, including pcb (click the pic for the supersized experience.

    I find it so interesting how they knocked off the Xiaomi Mi Band's shape (this one looks like version 4, but I'm not completely sure) to make a trustworthy-looking product. The little bump in the back is a remnant from that, the real thing has a heart rate sensor there, and of course you can charge it too, through some contact pins along the bottom of the device which this knockoff apparently left off. (I guess it was easier to not include a charger and the respective circuitry.) It has a touch sensor too in the same place, although it swaps out the LED matrix for an OLED, and at least it's actually capable of some health functions (although nothing as flashy as claimed here). It's a neat little device and actually quite popular among cheap fitness bands (there have been quite a few of them in my family) so it makes sense as a device to copy.

Hell even the silicone band is made to look like the stock one that comes with the Mi Band 5 (and in my case promptly got switched out for a metal one to not sweat like crazy underneath). The real thing is quite useful, this clone is just a waste of resources

    The functionality of this reminds me of my first digital watch back in the 70s, they were LED rather than LCD, although the functionality did extend to the early LCD watches, when you pressed the mode button you got the time, press it again and you got the date, press it again and you got the seconds and if you then pressed it again it would go back to the time. I guess this is an example of recycling old tech to a new generation that isn't old enough to remember it the first time round. The plus point of the old watches though is you could at least change the batteries. I also remember having a watch pen that worked the same too although that was LCD.

    No no. They are modulating the power draw from the battery to generate a rotating magnetic field. This is interacting with the iron in your blood and fat cells, and increases fat metabolism, activates your NATURAL HEALING and thus drains your lymph nodes. When you tested it for magnetism at 01:32, it detected by the flux resistance that it was not connected to your wrist, and thus stopped the magnetic pulses for power saving.
    The battery can be charged remotely by simply putting the device in your microwave (it will induce a voltage in the battery that charges it up).

I had the complete system setup with an ignition coil, distributor, and spark plug. The "box" required a laptop to plug into it to program the timing curve you wanted, high speed retards, nitrous retards, 2-step, rev limiter, and many other features. When I spun the distributor by hand to test the system as I programmed it, it delivered quite the WALLOP to the spark plug... My laptop was about 6 feet away from the setup on my workbench, and when I gave the distributor a good spin that resulted in the spark plug firing about 10 times, my laptop screen went dark and it refused to turn back on for several minutes no matter how many times I pushed the power button. I panicked as I thought I had fried it, but it DID turn back on after a few minutes of being unresponsive, and it has been working fine since then.

    I had one of these pretending to be a fitness tracker band. It was rechargeable with a full color display and touch pad like this. It even had the lights pointed at your wrist that would measure blood o2 saturation and pulse, but they were fake. It would just make up random numbers for those readings. I bought it as a pedometer (I couldn't use my phone at that time for reasons that are unimportant) as I remember that part actually worked. Unfortunately it required charging daily and it had to be removed from the wrist strap to do so which almost always popped the front face off revealing the bare LCD display. It also had zero waterproofing so if I washed my hands wearing it, or sweated in any volume it would die. I don't remember now, but I think it may have even had an app to pair with.

    My dad had a stroke in 2018 and he was lucky he wasn't left paralysed down one side. Every night I would be running to his room every 10 to 20 minutes to check on him. So I got him a watch of banggood that can check his blood pressure, blood oxygen, breaths per minute, heart rate, temperature, sleep pattern plus it has an ECG on it too. The stress it lifted off me is worth it a 1000 times over coz now I just check the app and see that he's OK. It even warned me 3 days in advance that something wasn't right. And on the 4th day he started to with the signs of having another mild stroke. I gave him a few disprin a 20 minutes later he was brand new. Thank God.. if I knew that blood thinners stopped strokes I would of got him some asprine or disprin (there the same thing it's just disprin had the flavouring init so it's easier to take "acidacillic acid" is what's in them) there litterly a life saver in situations like ours. 👍💚🇮🇪🙏🏼
    P.S. just ordered him a new watch just 2 days ago that has better stuff on plus every thing the old one has. But it has a blood sugar count on it because he recently got diabetes, & he has the world's largest sweet tooth. Have to show him the danger he's putting himself in when he eats sweets on the sly. 🤨
