Great value for money fitness tracker
I don't normally write product reviews, but I thought this fitness tracker/ step counter was such good value for money it deserved a 5-star review and write-up.I was just looking for low-priced step counter to wear on my wrist, that ideally also displayed the time. (Rather than just showing "step-dots"). I'm really very impressed with this. It looks good, has a decent-sized traditional style strap and is very light to wear. It does a lot more than I was really looking for or expecting, so for around £28 (price paid in Oct 2019) it's very good value for money.I was impressed that the display screen on this was far bigger than the old "Fitbit" dot style step counters or the new slim looking watch versions. It is clear and bright and seems to have a much longer battery life between recharging too. (Claimed up to 30 days normal use, 60 days on standby). I have been wearing it continuously for three weeks and recharged it after about two weeks - when the battery charge indicator on the front of the display had dropped two bars- suggesting it had reached about half charge. So I cannot confirm it would last 30 days between charges, but it's quite possible. The display stays off until you either raise it to the position you would normally lift a watch to in order to see the time, or if the area at the bottom of the screen is tapped. It stays on if you touch the screen and move through the various option screens, (all done by either tapping or continuing to touch the bottom of the screen). It also stays illuminated for about a minute if you manually activate the heart rate monitor (which shines a light out of the back to take your pulse and keeps the display on), or if you use the stopwatch function, which appears to keep the stopwatch display on all the time the stopwatch is running. For all other displays, (eg normal clock face, other functions) the face switches off after 5-10 or 15 seconds- the timing can be adjusted via setting controls. There are three different clock displays to choose from - two configurations of a "digital" display and one "analogue" style with digital display of hour and minute hands).There's a fitness app (called Flagfit) to download and sync via Bluetooth which can then be used to see /store your walk/run stats on your phone rather than simply displaying today' s information on the watch. The software can be used with a phone's GPS tracker to record where you have walked/run etc. There are lots of other options to play with using the app. (find my phone, etc). It’s not a smartwatch (although it kind of looks like one) but it can very easily be linked with your phone so it notifies you when your phone rings (shows the call number too) and also displays text alerts and other messages, etc - you can even decline calls with the tracker if you want to (but not answer them- you need to actually use your phone for that!) All very easy to set up. But really, even if you just use it as a watch and step counter, it's pretty good value. All the other stuff is an extra bonus.I should say the sleep monitor seems a bit hit and miss- sometimes it doesn't record any sleep at all, other times it thinks I went to bed or got up at times that are way out! So not so many stars for that aspect. However, as a step-counter it seems accurate, giving consistent figures when counting steps/ distances either walking around the neighbourhood or on my various running routes.It is said to be waterproof, but I've not tested that. (Other than wearing it in the rain!)This is a genuine review from a purchaser. As is sometimes the case with things sold on Amazon, the seller did send an email asking me to write a positive review of their product. As I said at the start, I don't usually write reviews, but I thought this tracker /step counter was such good value for money that it really deserved a 5-star review.

Bargain top quality
Bought this for my nephew and he is absolutely delighted. This fitness tracker/watch is great! It has all the abilities of the expensive ones like pole etc but not as complicated or expensive ! The mobile app is very user friendly and easy to configure - he does a lot of sports and spends most evenings in the gym so he needed something that could do a lot of stuff like this can ....absolutely brilliant buy. Might even get off my lazy backside and buy one and start counting steps. Lol. Oh and it looks awesome on him. It looks expensive and so he is happy as he is young and wants to look ‘cool’.

Long battery life
I was secptical when I read reviews about this tracker having a long battery life. I still didn't charge it since it came. The battery still says 100%. I've been walking around, making activities, sleep with it.So here is an honest review. I like it very much, it's simple, it doesn't vibrate at random, it works as intended.Didn't have any issues with the app itself or it syncing. Lays on hand fairly OK. I'm that kind of person who needs to adjust the strap all the time, due to my body not being able to hold or release the water. There are days when I need to loosen the strap they are days when I need to tighten. Something that supposed to be a BIG plus, can change into a MINUS if You look at it from the other perspective. The tracker has 2 supports to prevent the strap from opening or loosing the tracker, the problem is the tracker is not water resistant. It is only splash resistant, which means that everyday I need to take it off to take a shower and then put it on. These 2 safety mini straps that keep the watch in place are driving me nuts! I should be happy that they did a really nice closing and I do not have to worry that I will loose the tracker... I should be happy, it's a good thing, but You know what would be better? To make a version of this tracker that is water resistant. Overall is a nice tracker and deserves 5 stars for the price and the quality.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smart watch
Wow where do I start to even review this smart heart rate watch.Well with 5⭐️ From me for sureNot only will this check your heart ❣ rate all day and nightNot only does it measure your activitiesNot only does it charge very fastNot only does it show your text/WhatsApp/Facebook/messenger/and many moreNot only can you read them but you can delete from the watch with a short press on the message function.Too be honest the interface on this watch is slick and setup was a breezeConnect your Bluetooth on your phone and then turn the watch on by pressing the main and only touch area in the face and the phone will come to life. Now search for L8-B1 and away you go. Simples.The watch is charged via a usb cable with a small cradle attachment that fits on the back of the watch making sure the copper pins are aligned correctly.The watch is waterproof but they don’t mention if you can swim in it so I would avoid this.As far as tracking your sports activities this watch will track your sleep pattern and tell you how well you slept at night. I’ve put a picture that shows deep sleep. Light sleep and awake. It’s great to see if you are actually getting the proper deep sleep that we need in order to wake up fresh.Overall it is a brilliant smart watch with many more things for you too discover but it’s a 10/10 from me 😊
