SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON WITH FIT BIT AND THIS IS AWESOME!
I have been a fitbit product user for over 3 years. I purchased this one to see how it compared to my fit bit alta, since it's a third of the price, and so my teenagers could use it. I must say I am very impressed. It measures my steps, my heart rate, and my sleep very accurately. My alta doesn't even measure heart rate, so that's a huge plus! The app that you can download also syncs perfectly with the watch and you can even share the date onto apple health or social media if you choose. The watch itself is a good size for my wrist. Not too big, not too small. I get text notifications and calls right on the watch as a sliding message, (through blue tooth), so you can see who is calling or texting without having to unlock your phone. HUGE PLUS!! Another thing I love that the fitbit does not have, is that the charging unit is built right into the watch itself. You just slide the middle unit right out of the watch and there's a USB port built right in and you stick it into your computer to charge. There's not a SEPARATE charging unit that you have to take care of. I love that! Measuring my steps for over 3 years now has helped me to continue to be active daily, and not gain weight over the years. It just shows you how important it is to maintain a certain activity level. And for me, that is to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. you can plug that as your goal into the app, and you monitor throughout the day how much you need to go to meet that goal. And believe me, it MAKES you get up and walk around, even if it's just around the house. So I love everything about this tracker! On a final note, there is a camera function which is a bonus. So instead of using a selfie stick, you just press your watch and it takes a picture with you in it! What a bonus feature they added that my fit bit alta does not have!

Wear it correctly and it's perfect!
This is a great, inexpensive fitness tracker. It takes some practice getting the handle on how it works and using the LETSFIT app. When I first put it on my wrist I had it oriented so the curved part of the watch-face was facing out and I could not get it to work properly. Once I turned it around so the curved was facing towards my body it worked fine. (I think how you place it on your wrist effects whether it works properly or not.) Honestly I almost returned it but then I saw a video on Youtube that a user posted and that's when I noticed he had it on with curve facing in. (See my photos) Steps, Heart Rate, sleep all inputed via Bluetooth into the app. It also worked with iPhone's Health App but I like the graphs in the LETSFIT App better bc I think they are easier to read and manipulate. Some have complained about the strap but I only have trouble if the inner nubs on the attachment braid aren't snugly secured into the holes on the watch band (see pict). I am a housekeeper and am very active at the gym (triathlons, trail running also!). I didn't want to spend too much money on my first tracker since I wasn't sure if I'd actually wear it a lot but I love this tracker and wear it everyday.

Fun little device, great value
This is my first activity tracker, so it's all new to me! I bought the Letscom ID101HR about a month ago because the price was irresistible at $30. You can read details on all of its features in other reviews, I'll just give my opinions and thoughts on it.Briefly, the band ("smart bracelet" as they call it) has a clock with alarm, heartbeat monitor, and step / distance / calorie counters. You set it up from its companion App on your smartphone -- contrary to many reviews I had no trouble "binding" the bracelet to the app on my old Samsung Galaxy S4. It's a bluetooth link, but does not use the generic bluetooth interface like a headset; you set it up from within the app, it won't show up on the list of bluetooth devices.The first time you run the app it (hopefully!) detects the bracelet and you then set up the App with your gender, height and weight; it uses these to estimate distance and calories burned from your steps, and it estimates your stride also from this data.The heart rate monitor uses a couple of LED lights to light up your capillaries and measure their contractions; One nice feature is that the bracelet automatically measures your heart rate every few minutes and the App uploads the data so you get a day/week/month/year history of your heartrate. You can also measure manually from the bracelet directly. This seemed reasonably accurate, at least within 5 beats/min or so. It does take 15-30 sec to get a good reading though, so be patient!For the pedometer (step counter), one thing to be aware of is that in order to avoid false counts (eg due to waving your hand), the bracelet doesn't register steps until you walk 30-50 steps. If you walk fewer than this it assumes a false positive. It seemed reasonably good at detecting real walking as opposed to standing still waving my arm, but it does mean that if you're just ambling around the house the count won't be accurate. You can force it to count by using the Sports mode from the bracelet, so if you're working out in bursts you can make it count all your steps and monitor your heart continuously.It has a "wrist sense" to turn on automatically when you look at it; this was usually ok but sometimes I couldn't get it to come on, other times it would turn itself on when I didn't want it to, like when watching a movie or in bed. You can always turn it on manually by swiping it.I love the alarm feature, you program it from the app on your phone and the bracelet buzzes at the appointed time, it works really well. However the other alerts aren't as good. For WhatsApp and Text Messages (SMS), it works occasionally. I realise the bracelet must be within Bluetooth range for alerts to work, but even with the phone in my pocket it's very unreliable. When it works it's great, the bracelet vibrates and shows the text - scrollably so you can read the whole thing. But mostly it doesn't work at all. All other communication between the App and the bracelet works so I think it's a bug, not a problem with my app/android/bluetooth versions. It would be great if these alerts worked! I hope a software update is in the works. And, yes, I do have the App's permissions set up properly! The other alert that was unreliable was reaching my daily target number of steps - I've left it at the default 10,000, and it usually doesn't notice when I reach it. I suspect this is to do with the "false positive" detection I mentioned above; when I'm hiking it works, ambling around the house it doesn't work. On an average day (without a hike), I don't get to 10k steps until the evening, when I'm usually ambling around the house, so no little buzz shot of pleasure when I hit my target!The sleep analyzer works pretty well, it seemed to detect when I fall asleep ok, but is a bit hit & miss with waking up and sometime thinks I'm still sleeping after I know I've gotten up!Finally, I noticed several complaints about the strap, I have had no problems.It's a bit fiddly to get on and off but the clasp works well and is easy to fasten and unfasten. It's a nice soft rubber and lighter and more comfortable than I expected.So overall it's a great little device, and great value for the price. Just don't expect super accuracy from it! I knocked off a star because alerts don't work properly and it's unreadable in sunlight (and too bright at night). Also the App needs some work; on several of the charts the numbers are way too difficult to read. On the step count history the target line is drawn wrongly - I have it set to 10k steps, the line is actually at about 14k so days where I've hit my target look like they're below it. But for 1/3 to 1/4 the price of the name brand competition, I'm not complaining very hard!

Way better than expected!!!!
I had a Fitbit that stopped working a few months after I got it. I decided I would try a cheaper option and came across this fitness tracker. I have had it a few days and it's AWESOME....I like it better than the $150 Fitbit I had. It seems way more accurate with my steps and also the sleep tracker seems more accurate. I also like the app better than the Fitbit app. Overall I am really happy with my purchase!

It is very comfortable on my wrist and easy to use
Foolishly I bought this and it does not sync to my Android phone, but that is my error. I am going to keep it and soon upgrade my phone. I mainly bought it to count my steps, so using that now. It is very comfortable on my wrist and easy to use. It does charge with ease. I like it. The only minus is the band is very hard to fasten until you get the hang of it. I'm disappointed that it is hard to read in the sunlight.
