Worth the price???
It's alright for the price, but the strap is very wimpy. I do a lot of farm work, and the watch is always getting caught on this that and the other thing and pulling apart. I finally broke down and took out the little fastener, and plugged in a small nut and bolt. Also, since I'm in the sun a lot the display is beyond useless. The step tracker tracks your arm movement, so if you use your hands a lot you'll have an impressive amount of steps accumulated. It also tracks bounces, so opperating a skid loader really makes it impressive. The sleep monitor also starts way after I go to bed. I know I fall asleep at 9:15, but it says my sleep start time is 11:30, and I know that it doesn't take that long for me to fall asleep.

Worth the price buuuut...
My original review was four stars and can be found below. This is my newer, more experienced (with the product) review: It worked pretty well for about 3 months. The pedometer worked correctly 2/3 of the time, which made the calorie burn count inaccurate. The sleep tracker works well... if you're the type to jump out if bed and go, otherwise it counts you as still sleeping until you get moving quicker. You have to manually activate the activity tracking, otherwise it doesn't count. And it only tracks for an hour, so if you're training for a marathon, watch your tracking time. It is NOT waterproof, but it doesn't claim to be actually waterproof. My watch has never gotten wet, not even when washing my hands. It worked as well as in my original review... until 3 months in. NOW every time I charge it, it resets the time to midnight, even when paired with the app. The charge only last 3-4 days instead of the original 7-8 days even though I haven't turned on any new features or tracked my activity more often. According to the watch I only sleep an hour a night and none of the alarms or alerts work anymore. It's not "as bad as" a regular analog watch, it's worse because the time is never correct unless it finishes charging at midnight. With all this said, this new review is coming AFTER contacting the company asking them to help me fix this (twice) with no reply. It appears they have no intention of helping me fix their product now that they already have my money. Too bad, it was great for the price while it lasted.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ORIGINAL REVIEW:I have had this product one day. I will come back and do a thorough review when I've had it a little longer, but for now, this is my review.This device has so far done really well. It has done everything it says it will do EXCEPT the pedometer only tracks about 1/3 of my actual steps, and therefore makes my distance tracker and calories burned inaccurate. I am hoping to figure out this issue before my thorough review but AS IS, it is worth the price. If I fix the issue, it will certainly be worth far more than its cirrent cost. Also, I'm looking forward to the sleep tracker portion of the device. Again, I'll be back with a more thorough review when I've had it longer.So, it's been almost two months. The pedometer works better. I came to the conclusion that it was as bad as it was because I was wearing it too tight. If you wear it too tight or too loose it'll give false readings. The pedometer is still off though, I'd bump it up to 2/3 accuracy. The text reader has been on this whole time and has worked exactly twice. The sleep tracker works... but unless you are the type to hop out of bed and be ready to go, it'll track it as "waking sleep" or even "shallow sleep" until you become more active. Call alert and Lost Alert will only "activate" when the phone screen is not on, which makes sense, if you're on your phone your likelihood of leaving it behind or missing a call is slim. The heart rate monitor is accurate. It'll tell you your beats per minute, and you can track your numbers in the app. Wrist sense works great unless you're really slow to lift your arm, so that works as expected. The sedentary alert works well, I have mine set to 15 minutes and try not to "let" it go off. It's worked really well to keep me on track and stay active. Now, the activity tracker... that's where I have beef because I'm wearing it full time, it should track full time. I had assumed that it would take my steps and include that as activity. It doesn't. You have to manually track when you do activity by pressing and holding the screen, pressing the running guy, then pressing play. If you let this run longer than an hour, say you're playing football, it'll automatically stop tracking the activity. I ran eleven miles and it stopped after an hour. I almost actually cried.So, is it worth the $30ish I paid for it? Yes. But with a few minor tweaks this product could be above and beyond.

Good band, bad app
After wearing this for over a month, I have enjoyed the ease of tracking my steps and sleep patterns. It is nice and compact on my wrist and the battery works as expected. Unfortunately, the app has stopped working and I cannot connect my phone to the band anymore-- my data cannot be looked at and the time/date on the band will not update to the correct time/date even after updating the app. It is useful seeing how many calories and steps a day I have done; however, I wish the app would work so I can utilize the band to its full potential. Would have given more stars if app worked.Edit: had to uninstall then reinstall app. Still giving three stars due to issues with app and having to reboot device occasionally for it to connect and log properly.

Pretty close to my Polar
I am usually a Polar watch and chest strap user, so I am not used to having a watch that counts my steps while tracking my heart rate as well. So in order to put the watch to the test, I wore it along with my Polar watch to see if it worked just as well as my Polar watch does in tracking my heart rate. When I first opened the box, I was confused as to how I was supposed to charge it. Reading is definitely essential LOL You have to remove the strap from the charging device, which is a USB. I thought that the steps would be immediately updated while I walked, but it seemed to catch up and calculate when I came to a stop. It seems like a really great watch! The heart rate was very close to being as accurate as my Polar watch while I was doing my cardio workout! I’m considering purchasing 2 more for my daughters.

Does the job mostly
The tracker is good as it does capture your steps. However, it does not capture all of your steps (as when I first get up in the morning, it does not capture those steps. I like how it reminds you to move if you have been sitting too long. Also you cannot move your arm and think that it will count that as steps...it will not...you have to move! I don't like the app as it still (on the daily step tracker) says I have taken no steps. If I view the monthly step tracker on the app, it has my daily steps listed. For the price, it is a good step tracker!

This knockoff actually works!
I bought two other Chinese knockoff fitness bands but they would not pair with Bluetooth or else required you reinstall the app every day to get your connection back, and of course all your historical fitness data would be gone. This one has been great so far. Walk out of range from your phone and as expected the Bluetooth connection drops. But when you get back in range it reconnects automatically and syncs whenever the app is open. I've been happy with this one so far and the very fit for heart rate app is clearly the best app for these knockoff fitness bands.I did have to restart my phone after installing the app for it to recognize the device via Bluetooth, but that resolved the problem and unlike the other fitness trackers I tried I have had it running several days now and the app continues to sync and update without problems.
