A while back I reviewed a budget smart fitness band (link to previous video below) - the one problem I had with that device was the small, monochrome screen - so I had high hopes for this one, which promises a larger, colour OLED screen.
Unfortunately, the reality was just disappointing - to the extent that I don't really see the point in feature testing the device.
So... Either spend a bit more and get something a bit better quality, or if you are on a genuinely small budget, trim back your expectations.
Here's the video where I reviewed a different (and all in all,. better) option:

You can easily prove your point, by taking the band off of your wrist and hit the heart rate or blood pressure sensor. It still measures some magical heart rate and blood pressure with it being nowhere near you... So it is a bs...
Can I just TELL u something 1. THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A INSTRUCTIONS .
2. I just got it and at first I didn’t get it but that SMALL INSTRUCTIONS says how to use it .
3. U have to take a charger 🔌 and just take the head and PLUG IT In
But yeah I’m sry u are right with the heart ❤️ rate but it sometimes shows actually correct
@@priyaabraham7887 My clock has stopped. It shows the correct time twice a day!
Very difficult to remove straps!!!! Attempting to remove the straps will cause your blood pressure to rise. I'm so glad that the cost was very efficient; if I get to wear it.
I thought that disappointed noise was from your partner/wife for dramatic effect..... the dog couldn’t have timed that any better.
1:20
Most of my calories burned are just me trying to pull out the band to charge it
ha ha funny
Absolutely agree 🤣
Yes
So funny and true
How do you it charge it .one won't charge at all
I just bought one of these units. Cost, a mere penny . Watch works fine. but the heart rate monitor is a joke. showing random readings even my wooded table reports a healthy BPM of 80. This could be a demo unit.
Mean while the wood worm in your tables like phew. 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
@Jay & Laong's World!🤪²⁰²¹ I don't think we can expect all these features when the price is even cheaper than a Timex.
The app seems like a security trap. Read the notifications as you install the app. It looks like you have to allow access to every piece of information on your phone.
What is the app to connect it
I managed to snap the usb connector at the end off after about 3 weeks. Useless.
Just realized the listed price (8.23) and the time on the display on the image (8:23) are the same. Weird
Already bought this self same watch in purple and arrived pink the same as yours. Yup! I agree with you, I is appalling. What a complete waste of the planet's resources 🤨
i got something similar to this 3 years ago and I actually used it for a bit till i stopped and bought a garmin lol
Rip your wallet
I tried taking off the bands because I didn't know what side had the USB and one side broke off. Totally cheap, like you said.
did you download the companion app for the band?...some of these bands the extra settings lie in the app... my cousin has this and I saw it over the weekend when they visited and its screen was ALOT definately brighter then yours and the flip wrist function worked...may be worth checking the app for it.
I'll give it a try - my experience of these things though is that the app tends to be pretty passive
I do agree most apps functionality is bogus but some have worked splendidly for me when trying different watches
You need the app to Control it, so yeah 😂
what App did he/she use - I find the one the manufactory recommends bad
The app turns the twist wrist function on. Other settings like find my watch and idol reminders
You can buy a Mi band for 10 bucks more which is infinitely better, even with it technically being a good *value* it doesn't mean its a good buy.
Mi Band 3 was the best deal I've ever made
@@beanconsume3519 Mine is still Working..Even after 2 years
My unit looks identical, the box looks identical and the displays look identical but the display is much brighter.
The box says Smart Band your health steward.
On the top it has:
GW180B
ZG02A4103
Made in China
985/1000
On the back it has the specs including:
CPU: Telink Ti8266
The BP reading is ridiculously inaccurate consistently under estimating the BP (101/66 when it's >=120/80):
You can't normally measure a BP just by shining a light at your wrist/arm.
Pulse reading seems to be accurate.
The USB plug easily fits in the phone charger but it's the wrong angle to plug into some computer USB connectors.
Can't read the manual easily because the text is so small and can't find an online version to read.
The QR code takes you to either Android or Apple software. The software is called "Yoho Sports".
Still trying to get bluetooth to sync the phone and the Smart Band:
The Smart Band pops up as MSLM707
BTW: If you're trying to turn it on. Hold your finger on the sensor at the bottom of the screen for 4 seconds.
If you're trying to turn it off flip to the MAC (Media Access Control) address and hold your finger on the sensor for 4 seconds.
You will get a screen saying "On" and "Off". Choose "Off" using the sensor and then wait for a few seconds and it will turn itself off.
N.B. As the Smart Band turns itself on it flashes "Yoho" on the screen. So this must be generic hardware for Yoho?
:-)
Useful info - thank you
Wow I got an ad for a $50 smart watch that’s “as good as the Apple Watch”.
As good as Apple?..... I'll pay 2 buck for that No more.
A lot of these watches are dirt cheap that you can't really expect them to be any good. Some are ok but it's a bit of a hit or miss. If you want a good smart watch you gotta pay at least around $40, but prices can vary wildly so do your homework before buying. I got my Zeblaze Vibe 5 for $30 including shipping and it's been really great. No touch screen but I honestly prefer pressing buttons than fiddling with the watch face and getting it all smudged up. If you want a cheap smart watch try the Zeblaze Crystal 2. You can get it for about $20. It's a plastic watch that feels like a toy and it's pretty basic but it comes from a brand that's more than just a reseller company. I say this because many of these smart watches are made by ODMs that just resell them to companies like Lokmat, Microwear, Bakeey, etc. These guys don't even do anything to brand those watches and the watches still just come in generic boxes. The only branding you see is on the website selling them like Banggood, Gear Best, Ali Baba, and all the countless online merchant platforms like Lazada, Shopee, etc. Some examples are the L5 and L8 (Microwear, Lokmat, SUPP, etc.), KW19 (Kingwear, Lokmat, etc.), and countless others. Zeblaze is, at least as far as I know, designing their own watches and not just reselling stuff from a behind-the-scenes ODM or solutions provider. Not saying all those other 'brands' (quotes intentional) are crap and Zeblaze is much better; I'm just saying how the Chinese smart watch industry works, who's who in it (as far as I know), and how you can't really expect much for $10 or less. Personally if it's too cheap I just ignore them because I know they'll not only look cheap and perhaps give the wrong impression, but they probably aren't worth the time. Heck just buy a good burger.

Apparently the dog knew what was in store right off the bat. Good assessment there.
If you had connected it thru bluetooth and used an compatible app, you may have been able to customize the features of the watch to be fair. Upon viewing of your follow-up video, I see you did do an app synchronization and further testing. Now I agree with your findings Atomic Shrimp !!
Only the feature to turn on when you lift your wrist.

Bought it, worked for 14 hours never turned on after that smh!😒 Cheap is expensive
Looks like most people who use the band with the app are quite happy!

Jelly And IceCreamYT What is the app called??
Shrimp: "I ordered purple, but I got pink."
Eva: "Uuuuuuuuuugh! 😫😢"
I have this and I can say I don't hate it. My screen is way brighter than yours appears to be. The battery life is 2 days basically. I don't think mine is as thick as yours but then again it may be that obnoxious pink band making it look that way. I don't have a complaint about the charge method...after 2 months I notice no diminished holding ability of the band. And for $12 I certainly dont expect it to last over a year. I have 2 $100 up24 bands that didn't even last a year so I do t want to hear how great those are. I had other cinese bands that didn't even work out of the box. The app can be slow to sync and I wish it shared info with Google...but again it's $12 so let's be realistic.
Edit..one thing that could be easy to fix...the way it displays text messages is not so great...o ly the first bit of it shows with no real way to scroll. A simple firmware update though...but I don't remain hopeful. Again $12...
My screen is brighter than what he showed.
How did you "whitelist" your app to get notifications and things? I have it synced to my phone but when I tell it to allow texts and calls. It tells me to whitelist the app and I can't figure that part out even with Google.
@@sammissey6713 I didn't have to do that. It worked out of the box once I granted access to the phone contacts, calls, messages. This must be a setting of your phone...
@@jimb032 I got it figured out! Thank you for your reply!
@@sammissey6713 no prob! Sorry I couldn't help more but for me this did not happen. Hope you like it...mine seems to be doing ok still although the battery life has dwindled.
You should have tested if it scratches at level 6, with deeper grooves at level 7
Can’t find anything wrong with the one I have. Really happy with it especially because of how cheap it was!
didn't get an instuction book with mine , how do you set the time ?
pretty sure u download a app to set the time idk the app i dont have it i just heard that im getting a fitbit alta hr soon
@@williamjenkins5017 download the app, sinc the band to your phone and it will set up the time automatically play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uthink.ring&hl=es_AR
Is a coincidense that the prize (8.23) was exactly the time of the watch (08:23)?
This connector is not really a USB type. I had no manual in my box, so there is nothing that shows what way the thing goes in the USB socket. It is loose either way, and the screen does not show that it is charging either way. How would anyone know when it is charged? Very unhappy with this. And like was said, the strap is too hard to pull off. it is a really stupid way to charge something. After awhile, the strap would wear so it might fall off one's wrist eventially. It also should not have to be used with an app. It should be all on the screen. The whold thing is user unfriendly.
My impression of this product has been similar to yours, but I'm going to do a followup video on this product soon, because the comments on this video have been... interesting - a lot of people seem to have defended this product quite fiercely, and that's hard to understand, as it really isn't even a good offering for its (admittedly cheap) price point
When you look into a usb plus look for the contacts then just insert the tracker so the contacts match up. Its very easy
The device vibrates when you plug it in to charge and it shows a charging icon..if that does not come up flip it around and plug it in.
This device actually does work and is even better with the app
@@allisonmattson9522 what is the app? I got this fittness band with no user manual.
I purchased 2 of these off Wish, they were in a box just like in your video. After like you studying how it was it supposed to work and/or charge. I finally found it was to work and fought to get the strap off the side it connects to charge. However one tiny problem, IT DIDNT COME WITH A CHARGER in EITHER BOX!!! I'm BEYOND upset, I now need to see if I can return it.
Im using same as yours, but why my band screen more brighter than yours? I've been using a few months already, got no problem so far... You need to install the yoho apps on your smart phone, see how it works..
I have tried the app. It doesn't fix the screen brightness, so mine is useless. I think the production quality consistency is just really poor on these devices, and I got a particularly bad one
@@AtomicShrimp maybe u are buying the fake one.. because mine is ok, i have used it and so far its working good. The moral values here is dont buy the cheap one😂😂😂😂 nah and never bro😂
this is actually the first 'fitness band' my mother got for me when i was 12. as a user for 6 or so months, its not really a great product. useable for telling the time, just about. anything, not really. the step counter is extremely inacurrate as is everything else, and the app is fairly low quality. for a kid, perhaps an alright gift, but for anything else, would not recommend.
They have an app that connects to it called yoho sports
How did you read the instructions ? The print was so small I had to make a enlarge copy on my printer.
I had to use a magnifying glass!
Thank you for the video I wished I woulda seen this before I purchased 2 of them, They were for young children That's why I bought inexpensive ones Won't come on Or charge
It does charge lol but idk how 2 operate the watch but yh this watch is terrible
I wish i had watched this before i bought it.....
Me too smh, no matter what I do I can't get it paired with my phone
Me too...
@@kitab3044 Did you install Yoho Sports?
@@staria07 No.. I've tried all other apps but none works
@@kitab3044 In the user guide its written that we have to install this app, than turn on your bluetooth and connect with the band. I got the smart band yesterday and i have to say that i am very suprised, it works very well😊
I hve the BAND and it is really good, it works very well and it is comfortable to wear. Maybe you have a problem with your arm.
It's funny how people seem to feel the need to defend this product
@@AtomicShrimp it works that is the point, not only to me but also to many people I read over here. Go to the doctor and check if everything is okay with your wrist. Hahha a Just kidding
Unless my doctor happens to also be good at fixing poor quality injection moulding and crappy OLED screens, I don't see how that would help.
I’m reading your replies to comments, and depending on where you buy the band, the quality differs. Mine I love.
You have to activate the lift wrist to show display on the app
Just got this one & no way will I keep it. At least you had the manual- nothing in mine.
same no manual....am trying to get it work but even that at this poitn doesnt work neither
Hello "Atomic Shrimp"! I just got mine. It works great! Read the directions and DOWNLOAD the app from your "play store on your phone. Pair them. Then go to the app you downloaded on your phone. Choose the feature for Flip of the wrist and turn it on...it does work. Blood Pressure reading also works well. Also, it doesn't have to be extremely tight for it to pick up your vital signs, loosen the strap 1 notch. I don't know if you downloaded the app or not, but my screen is a lot brighter than yours. Give it another try. Hope this helps.
Blood pressure reading is complete fiction. Do not trust it. The device does not contain a sensor capable of measuring it. The app fixes the wrist turn thing, but not the dim screen
Hi there what a shame mine has worked perfect 😀
Interesting to see the difference between people in the comments who are happy with the watch and those who aren't.
I think we had got different ones because mine has better lighting and it also does not have thag sharpness you was talking about
One of my family members just bought me this. ITS A PAIN TO TAKE OF THE STRAP
My ones brighter it’s from Wish
I have one of those watches and I've gotta say the heart rate monitor actually works!
I've been using the exact same one (under the name of Yoho Band) for more than 1.5 years.
Durable and cheap. Perfect as a watch, but unusable as everything else.
Thinking about getting an other one.
I can recommend it. (but only as a watch, not as a fitness band)
Others are asking hundreds of dollars for one
Interesting. Nearly £12 seems a bit expensive for this... But £8 seems about the right price (if it includes P&P). Had one similar to this, and it did the job whilst deciding whether I wanted something like a Mi Band for long term use.
I think there are different distributors or something. I was looking to buy the same bracelet and there is a Bangwei watch on AliExpress with a different box and seems brighter screen. Confusing..
I think I figured out what’s going on and why you’re having so much problem with this as far as the backlight. they do come barely charged. I had one that was completely out of power and the other one was almost and it was super dim like yours. And for anybody who’s having connectivity issues with Bluetooth not wanting to show connected to the device this is just simply an updated version of android that will not work on these older smart bands. Newer phones will not work with these old smart bands. This is why we got them so cheap. My LG V30 will not connect but my old phone will...it never went thru an update & runs an old version. Old phone runs & operates the band beautifully tho.
I charged it. It was dim even after charging for hours
You had me at dog in the background disappointed song 😂😂😭😭
Mate you need to download the companion app and look at all the settings you can change in that.
(It includes wrist position activation etc. Etc. Etc.)
It includes wrist position activation, but does not affect the dim screen. Still not worth it
@@AtomicShrimp There is a cult scan going around
I know it's not what your looking for but I got a mi band 3 as a budget fitness band. It's not bad for £20.
They are one of those products "I told you so", you cannot expect much from them, they are usually a useless expense, the funny thing is that by adding a little more you could find a mi band 4C, 100% functional,
the band works better if you download the app
@@AtomicShrimp maybe review the product as the manufacturer intended it? By not installing the companion app and granting the necessary permissions you are in a sense only doing half a review.
We rely on you to give the products a thorough review, it's like saying Bonneville chocolate is rubbish because you don't like dark chocolate.
I'd have done that if I felt it was possible. Usually, my reviews contain feedback from days or weeks of actual usage, but in this case, it just wasn't usable, so I had to conclude on that point that a watch that isn't comfortable to wear and isn't readable in daylight, isn't a watch
I bought 2 of these for my 10 & 11 yr old boys for Christmas (They wanted fitbit but not paying that much for pre-teens) and after this review I felt the need to test my ones, I I stalled the companion app that asked for basic permissions that one would expect a fitness band and text/call notification bracelet would ask for (it's not like it wanted power of attorney)
The app allows you to activate the wrist flick to wake the display and input weight/height/age/sex for monitoring calories burned and adjust screen brightness.
You are absolutely correct that blood pressure is not measured, it just does heart rate again.
I am not out to have a go at you because I enjoy your content but please give products a full review.
I bought a Samsung watch for my birthday and without a compatible phone it is just a watch.
@@richardhancock8743 Very true without the app there's a lot you cant do without the companion app mine even informed me of a Firmware Update after paring it with the app and after installing the firmware update the features in the band seam to work better ,so this review is honestly half baked
And Yeah my screen is much much brighter than yours
Also. I normally don't like most watches because of leather or metal bands, but this band feels good.

@@rebekahjansenvanrensburg8966 lmao
I bought this, but it had a different name and everything. They're selling them under different names. I can't install the lefun health app at all, even though my phone easily meets the stated req for it. I did find a lefun wear app that I was able to download, but doesn't seem to register to the phone all the time. The steps function doesn't work, the sleep tracker also doesn't work well, and it's not waterproof as it was listed where I bought it. I'm also kind of disappointed, but since it does take heart rate. blood pressure, and spo2 readings I suppose its worth $8. Also I bought two and one didn't come with the metal part of the bracelet so its useless as is. They can take blood pressure readings because they are based on pulse mostly. Its not exceptionally accurate that way, but close enough for a daily check if you don't have other health problems and need a accurate reading.
So, I got what I paid for. lol I shouldn't be disappointed, I mean, it did turn on. Sorry to leave a novel here if its inappropriate.
Soooo, bang good, does that indicate that the buyer gets ‘banged good’ by purchasing from the site?! ;-)
I bought this same product a few years ago, mine was fine for brightness & i was by & large happy until it let water in & the display died.
I paid about £12 i think, mine was blue.
I think mine lasted 2 months.
I'm afraid you don't know how to use it. I've had the band for 24 hours and love it. Works really well with the app.
The app doesn't solve the screen brightness issue
what app? and why do so many subscribers answer with this generic response.
@@Billyward1019 The app is called Yoho sports. And generic because there is nothing much to say about it.

@@AdityaMoudgal I think I probably got a dud unit
I have the exact same Fitbit and it's very bright and when I wake up, not the heart rate monitor and blood pressure it says 0
Do you know how to set the time on this please?
Did you check if you're not dead?
Yea... shame you didn't actually install the app so pretty much only a half review. You make yourself look like you don't really know what your doing when you make comments such as the "raise arm doesn't work" without even checking the app then stating "in your experience." Your "job" is to review, so do it properly. Ours has a super bright screen, raise arm works, steps may be inacurate, but that's because its on a swinging arm, however steps were similar on a walk to a location and return. Battery dropped to about 20% over 5-6 hours, then we recharged. Next day was on 20% by the time wife got home from work aprox 11 hours...
I was wrong about ONE point: the feature to turn on the screen when you raise your arm is off by default and is switched on in the app.
The screen brightness, the comfort of the fit and the design of the strap/charger are still dealbreakers for me.
What is the app called in the Google play Store?
I did 100 steps sitting down not moving. Got it in sale but still wasted money I don't have. I think mine is a newer version.

What the hell is this conversation even
mine doens't turns on.
I got this same watch re-gifted to me for Christmas 2020. Not a bad little watch, I do doubt the accuracy of the heart beat and blood pressure monitor. The screen on mine is much brighter than yours, and turning my wrist does turn the clock on.
Just from your review, its pretty clear you didn't do your research on it. I mean for the price what can you expect? I gave $8 for mine and its decent for that price. I've had no issues with the screen being bright enough. And you obviously didn't read the user guide or even the box it came in. If you had, you would have seen you can pair you watch with the app on your phone. Which gives you the ability to turn on the feature to wake up your watch when you raise your arm. I will say the band could be more comfortable and the usb in the watch band does seem like a faulty design. But overall this watch isn't that bad for what you give for it. You can't pay dollar store prices and expect a top of the line smart watch. So far I've been pretty satisfied with mine.
I can only imagine you didn't watch the entire video. I thought I was pretty fair to this product in terms of acknowledging the feature set for the price. Your unit may have a bright screen - this one simply doesn't (and surely you can see that on the video).
You're right about the app making the wrist activation setting available. Apart from that, I stand by what I said here.
@@AtomicShrimp actually I did watch the entire video. Me personally for the price I didn't think you were being fair to the product. Since its clear you didn't even pair the watch with the app. If you did get one with a dim screen I'm sure defects happen in products this cheap. So like I said you can't expect a top of the line smart watch for $8. Anyone with common sense would have to realize that. Also, I'm sure this product isn't for everyone. That's fine as opinions differ. All I'm saying is in my opinion you get decent quality for the price you are paying. It would be a much different story if this watch was a more expensive model.
I don't disagree that this is more than the appropriate level of features for the price - like I said, I think they have just tried too hard for features this price point, resulting in some cut corners on overall quality. IMO, the right thing to do it pay a bit more for this feature set (and hopefully get better quality) or look for a slightly simpler model at this price
@@AtomicShrimp That's kind of the thing though. At this particular price point, I highly doubt you would find a watch with all the features of an expensive watch. So comparing this to a more expensive one is apples and oranges comparison. While this smart watch isn't top of the line it is a good watch for those on a budget like me. To be honest I'm surprised it has all the features it does for the price. Based on my experience so far I'd rate the watch a 3 out of 5 stars. With only the faulty usb design and the band being slightly uncomfortable being the downsides I've noticed. True the features could be better but for the money not a bad deal imo.
Definitely not comparing this to more expensive things - I'm pretty much considering it all on its own - I just think it is trying to reach higher than its capability - I find that in some ways impressive and admirable, but in terms of practical utility and wearability, I don't really like it
Yes it really turned out to be a trouble

The bpm and blood presure is inaccurate
There's no way s device like this can actually measure blood pressure
very oddly I emailed a scam website saying I knew they send people a completely different item than what they've ordered and they said they'd send me the real thing which they did. So I actually have a portable laptop with all the features advertised for £31 and I'm quite amazed
When I plug mine in it doest show me that it's charing.
LegendJim you have to plug it upside down
It's great to know what's wrong with the watch and why my mom got it free with a few other things she bought
I have a smart band to recommend. They are called The Cure. They're a band and they're pretty smart from what I can tell. Cheers!
I have this and have been using it every day for the last month. Bought it for £5 from AliExpress and with the app, its actually good. No issues that you had. You need to use the app to turn on the feature that shows the screen with the flick of a wrist.
Even with the app, mine is useless - the display is so dim
@@AtomicShrimp it looked awful. You definitely got a dud. I'm sorry you wasted your money, I'm just glad you didn't pay a lot for it. Top content bro!
Yeah, I think probably the low price point means little-to-no QC checks - some people have commented to say theirs also malfunctioned in some way; others have said theirs was fine and they didn't understand why I was making a fuss
Whats the app
Wrong timing what to do
I was one of those ppl who were too scared to pull the wristband off, to be able charge it. You have me the courage to pull the strap, lol! I see what you mean about how it would wear down over time till it just drops out on its own. Haven't finished charging yet, so I don't know about the screen.... I'm considering giving it to my kids if it's no good. Cheers! 😊
You're supposed to pull it off at an angle, not straight off.
@@BassDrivenMassacre okay, i'll try that...
In five minutes and seven seconds it does do with the flick of the wrist you just have to turn the app on
Yes, I discovered that later, however, there's no fix for the dim display so the device is of little use to me
So I actually love the smart band but it’s stopped connecting to my phone via Bluetooth. It says it’s connected but won’t link when I receive texts or messages anymore like it use to 😩
I just got this but I think it’s dead but how do I know it’s charging ?
Ffs mine won’t even come on was charging for 3 hours🤬 load of tatt

How do you charge it which plus do you use?
Mine didn’t even turn on after full day of charge 😭
Same
Correct not good quality
Did you charge the right way? When you charge it the right way and it is nog broken, the screen lights up.
Ha! I paid $0.95 for mine and it's easy to charge and use. It really doesn't keep good track of my steps, it overestimates but it gives me incentive! 😜 It does give accurate blood pressure, pulse and O2 Sat. I had a procedure at the hospital and was able to compare those numbers and they matched almost identically! That little sensor works and is quite accurate! It reminds me to drink water and to move more. I didn't give permissions for phone and texts so I can't vouch for those features. I couldn't figure out how the sleep feature works so when I go to the app, it looks like I'm awake all the time. For 95 cents, who cares if some of the features don't work.
There is no sensor in this thing that is capable of measuring blood pressure, so it's guessing it based on other factors - which probably means it will only be right when nothing is wrong with you
@@AtomicShrimp I don't know. It seems to me the comparison between hospital equipment and this wrist monitor were equivalent enough. Seems to me it would gather it's data from capillary blood flow for SaO2 and BP.
Blood pressure cannot be measured by optical sensors. There are a couple of smart/fit watches (By Samsung and Omron that use a small expanding bladder to measure it, but even then, measuring it at the wrist is not considered reliable.
Smart watches such as this, which claim to measure blood pressure, are just inferring it from heart rate etc - which means they actually tell you what your blood pressure *should be*, not what it *is*
I don't know how to turn it on. Can someone let me know.
Richard Ojeda i charge mo muna
Put the bracelet to charge
Mine wont even come on i just took it out the box i try charging it everything and it still won't come on
You might have plugged it in the wrong way up (or it may indeed be a dud - the qc on these is pretty poor)
Guess what. I just got this yesterday charged it in the night and today it doesn’t work.
@@AtomicShrimp some of those products does not work. I got 2 of those smartband as a gift and one of them is not working
.thank you sir, i just got mine and i dont know how to charge this, the manual just say to pull the scrap and i cant coz its too tight, scared to destroy it so soon.
I got courge to pull it coz of you vid.
Thanks very much sir.
You pull the strap and plug it into a charger box. Like the side of a laptop. The strip lugs in
It plugs into a usb end and u have to flip it over if it doesn't charge the first time.
Sorry I didn't think to look for your verdict before I bought it. Never mind, if I like the idea enough I will go and upgrade this one for a newer better version. I was using my phone, but I was running low on battery power with it running all day every day so it was the cheaper road to travel - cheap fitbit or new phone (or battery).
I too ordered purple and got pink - very disappointed. :(
Just got this and your review helped. Thanks and you are right, it is a bit cheesy.
How to set a time
What are you expecting Apple Watch for that price
Nope
if something doesn't really work, it doesn't really work. that's true if the product is $10 or $10,000.
he's reviewing it as what it was advertised to be
This watch came fast but the only thing didn't like on the watch was that it says it has blue tooth which it does but seems to disconnect so much. In trying to receive messages never came through. Then if you walk away from your phone it disconnects all together. I wish I would have known about this before buying it. Numbers are clear.
The Price is not bad
There are better devices for similar prices. I don't think this is a bad deal, it's just trying to be too feature rich at too low a price
@@AtomicShrimp I buyed similar for $4,5
On wish its $8
Nor is your early demise if you're relying on it to tell you the correct BP!
@@R1ch4rd could you share what did you buy and where? :)
I would never wear a pink one . People will think I am not normal.
Subbed my brother much love keep up the good work
there is an app you can connect it to. The app is called Yoho sports. And I think you may have just got unlucky with this particularly watch as I have seen many others who has this with much brighter screens. Also on the app Yoho you can also change the watch display and change the time from 24 hour to 12 hour. With the watch it does have the blood pressure and bpm etc
No, not comparing it to anything other than its own specification. Low price does not excuse a product from failing to do its described purpose
Atomic Shrimp I edited my comment idk if you see my edited comment or not
I saw it. There's been quite a lot of commentary on this video, so I made a followup here: ua-cam.com/video/PlgTZQhO4UE/v-deo.html
Point of interest: this device is physically incapable of measuring blood pressure. What the app is showing you is not what your blood pressure actually is, but what it *should be*
I have the same one
We bought one but a black one and it's really good and the lighting is good
And it charges fast . It's the same thing as yours ?????
Hopefully people who were expecting ANY kind of quality have learned even a little bit from this. To the people who "love" this: congrats with being able to accept crappy quality. Power to you. Personally, I'd rather shell out some more money.
I'm also wondering about your experiences after several months, as I saw quite a few comments claiming "I just bought this and it seems great". That isn't going to do you any good if battery starts dying in two weeks and the bands fall off in three...
These products often seem to be designed to fool ar person long enough so they won't bother with trying to send it back.
I got this watch for free and it's not that bad for the price. Just you know there are many features on this watch are disabled and can be enabled through the smartphone app
it's good for the price of free? that's impressive
Does the job, if you only want to track steps and heart rate. The price is right.
,I purchased one of these phones prior to watching your video. Only paid $6.95 USD. I originally had a difficult time charging this device, but a half hour, I was able to charge. So far no problem but ask me again by 1 April 2022.
got this for a “Christmas present,” now I have a bone to pick with my aunt
It's the thought that counts
Atomic Shrimp, true
in all honesty with the app the smart watch is decent for its cost
If you got one with a readable screen, it's OK
