GOREAD R2 LED Wrist Light Wristlight Flashlight Built in Battery Rechargeable for Outdoor Running Camping

I got a couple of these last year, gave one as a gift to my buddy since we both work together. They are pretty cool, and are very bright. It does what it's supposed to do. For the price, you can't beat it. The only issues I have are, 1) I have a small wrist so I had to add holes to the nylon band. 2) And just recently, the small green indicator light on top of the device continues to blink when the light is off. I tried draining it 100% then charging it fully, but as soon as it comes off the charger, the indicator light is blinking again. It doesn't seem to affect the performance of the device, but, it's kind of annoying to look at... and not good if you are trying to be covert in the dark. I could cover it with a small piece of black tape. On the other hand, the one I gave as a gift is working properly with no issues. I would recommend this item, even with the issues I listed. It gets 3 stars because there is room for improvement.

I already own a head light for exercising outdoors before dawn and after dusk and for anytime I want light without having to actually hold a flashlight, such as crawling in the attic, but I wanted to try something where the light would be shining from where my hands were, for example needing to unlock a padlock on a fence not lit by flood lights, though I know some people use these for various forms of archery as well.The wrist light weighs about as much as a heavy watch, which is not bad, but if your wrist isn't very big then you will probably want to make additional holes for a nice snug fit. I found it pretty easy to use either as shown with the light positioned on the outer forearm or the way I wanted to use it with the light positioned on the inner forearm. The charge LED is not lit when the unit is off but it was very easy to see while the unit was on and fully charged (have not used it enough to comment on visibility of red LED when unit has lost its charge).The box advertised a "wall [AC] charger", but this was not in the box at all.

Product came way sooner than expected.Feels great too. I've had mine on for almost 24 hours now and cant complain at all. Its very bright and weighs just as much as my Tommy Hilfiger wrist watches. Went to bed with it yesterday and didnt care to know where i kept my flash light. Works just fine. Its a very good buy and would make a great gift to grand pa or prepper friends. Only "downside" is it doesnt come with a charger, just the USB charger cord, you probably already have too many chargers anyway.Had to come back and add this, The rubber switch cover came off and is lost so know that it comes off and be careful not to let water go in. Still useable but one button has lost its rubber covering.

The light is great. The light is very bright and remains charged for a long time. However, it's a victim of poor build quality. If you put super glue on the rubber buttons, when you get it, the covers will stay on. If not, the covers will fall off and expose the switch. The switch will eventually fall out and hang form the flash light. NOTE: The bottom switch did fall out after the cover fell off. I cut the wires and the top switch still works, which is great. With a little more attention to quality control this good be a great buy.

It was fun and unique while it lasted but the charging port failed after some months.

I'm pleased with receiving my order ahead of time. Now on to the review. The weight is noticeable since its 0.3 lbs and made of aluminum per description above, beneath it is a rubberized surface which feels great on the skin. "Stalls: 5-Speed" refers to light effects 1st press being brightest, moderate, dim, fast strobe(blinking), mixed strobe which consists of 3 fast / 2 second pause / 3 fast / 3 slow strobes and repeats. While the led is on a small green led indicator stays on, and I assume that it will glow red once battery life is low? Build quality seems like it will last a few years quite solid imo. Light color appears cool white perhaps 6500k. It comes with a white USB to micro-usb charger. Rubber usb flap becomes easily loosened on the back of the led light. I was expecting it to secure as well as it should for a "Waterproof: Yes" description, and I'm not sure if this only applies to the product I received. For the price of less than 17x-26x that of SureFire High-Output LED Wrist Light, Black this is a must buy. Both products look nearly identical based on pictures alone. Anyways hope this review was helpful, and big big big Thanks to GOREAD for this affordable and useful product. It will be great for night time training as well as reading and a plethora of other applications. **********STARS!

I have to give this watch one star because there isn't a rating lower than one. I was excited to get it, because it's highly rated, but the moment I took it out of the pouch, from it's box, the strap fell on the floor. End of story.

Interesting light.Pros: Surprisingly bright light. Nice focussed beam. Quite usable. Price is good.Recharges off USB. For me, this is a plus. Seems durable, but I haven't really been able to test that part yet.Cons: Heavier than it looks. This means that it has a tendency to slide down on the wrist and be a bit uncomfortable to wear for hours at a time. Included compass was crap, with a huge bubble in it, rendering it unusable from the start. This did not surprise me, however.
