Let's talk value, features, and accuracy + more
I came to this product as my replacement for the much more expensive fitbit charge 5 after a 2 hour stop and return with Xiaomi Band 7 Pro because it was none of what this band is.Update - I found the settings for the weather it is in the band settings, not app settings. I also found the place that I can set my normal BP which it can then calibrate off that and it should improve the already pretty good accuracy. I think I know why others believe the HR is inaccurate; there are times when it says 99-100 BPM even when I know I have been sitting. I believe that it is having a hard time picking up or catching up the display. It doesn't happen often and when it does it is only for maybe 10 seconds that it shows that before it picks back up the correct rate. I am also not super kind to my wearables because I wear them all the time. Thus, clean your watch. Rinse it first and then use some alcohol or something to clean the back plate.TL/DR Summary -I'm extremely satisfied with this fitness device's outstanding value, surpassing Fitbit Charge 5 and Xiaomi Band 7 in features for the price. The heart rate accuracy is impressive, step tracking is reliable, and the waterproofing is solid. While the app could improve with automatic localization and a low battery warning, the rest are only minor issues.The Good:*Value - 10 out of 5 stars; the price of this device compared to the features it offers is easily better than the Fitbit Charge 5 or the Xiaomi Band 7. The charge 5 does not have Blood Pressure, the Xiaomi claims to and I never found it to have it. This is an important feature to me as long as it is even mostly accurate (more on accuracy soon)*Features - All of the features listed exist and are usable on the watch/app. Couple of things I have yet to figure out or that are slightly "misleading". First - Real time weather does exist, but you have to have the phone and app nearby for it to work and for whatever reason the weather is in Celsius with no option to change it even though the rest of the readings are in imperial. Second - I think I found the workouts but have yet to test them.*Accuracy - Heart Rate +/- ~5% just depends on where your HR is at. It seems to get better with higher HR. my resting HR is about 56-58 pretty consistently and the band shows about 61-63. When my HR is elevated from whatever it's usually either right on or within 1-2 BPM.Blood Pressure is a little strange. The systolic (top number) is like right on or within like 1-2. The diastolic (bottom number) is off by about 5-7. When I compare the band to my cuff and doctor's readings at least. So say if you're BP is normally 115/64 in the proper position and whatnot, the band will probably read 115/70-72. This is likely a result of the fact that I wear the band on my dominant (R) wrist but take BP readings on the left. Given that and the fact that my readings vary like they do tells me that is probably why they look higher. If you wear it on the Left and take BP readings there I suspect it will be spot on or within +/- 2%.Steps - it seems really close at least for walking or moving about the house/shopping/etc. I wish I could see (maybe there is somewhere) what it has for stride lengths. I have yet to run with it, so I am not sure how it does with Running. Given the steps are really pretty close to what I would expect walking I don't think it will be really off Running.Swimming - not sure yet, but if it tracks steps that well I don't think it will have a problem here and I can tell you that it is waterproof. I have dunked it in the pool a couple times when cleaning it.Sleep - I am really on the fence about this one and I need a few more nights with it, but it seems to be pretty good. Here is where it might trick you if you don't understand what is happening. I sometimes wake between 130-3AM to use the restroom. If that happens it stops logging sleep for the night before and puts the rest of the time on the next day.... because technically it is. Example: 2305-0325 on 8/17/23 and 0330-0423 on 8/18/23. So don't be alarmed if your sleep shows that split.*Battery - The battery life, especially considering I have it constantly monitoring BP/SPo2/HR, is really pretty darn good. It lasted 3 days from a ... maybe full charge.The Could be better, but not awful:*App - A lot of people knock the app. They especially call out that they can't just open it and have the latest data there. Let me explain why that is - battery life. This app isn't constantly polling the watch for data and that leads to a lot better battery life because the watch is only ever polling the phone for weather as far as I can tell (not sure why it can't get weather without it). Even then it only polls the phone when you open the weather on the band. Now for what could be better: If I am in the US, use my localization settings unless I set them for somewhere else; including the weather. Being able to see/alter the stride length and setting current height/weight. Have an auto sync for data if I open the app putting it in an active state.*Battery - life is not an issue, but what is an issue is suddenly seeing your watch won't turn on because the battery died. A low battery warning notification would do wonders for this. The charging seems extremely fast, but maybe that is good? I am not sure. I always hesitate to take it off the charger even when it says the band is full charge in the app because it is so fast.The not good:*The charger - They really tried hard to emulate a lot of the more expensive band with a magnetic charger, but the problem is they used poor magnets. Due to the poor magnets you have to get the charger in exactly the right spot/angle/etc. so it sticks at all and don't even sneeze near the watch of it will not stay attached. Once you get it charging .... don't touch it, don't look at it, don't even think about it (anyone who gets the reference for those three things gets 30 points for their house).

Save battery use with wrist movement off
This is a nice little tracker. I am not sure how well it actually works with my phone’s measuring tools. The app to download seems easy enough to navigate. Wish iPhone and this company would be more easily connected. This is thinner than an Apple Watch, but still decent size. I am hoping to buy a replacement band. Would recommend as a basic tracker. Update 1/17/24: This works well if you want a temporary tracker. I signed up for the replacement plan, but filling out the form is a joke to get a replacement. The watch is now randomly shutting off and disconnecting from the application. It did well to help me keep active and track the basics. The BP was not always accurate, but I blame that on something else breaking. For the price, not bad. Purchasing another tracker to see how it goes. Free app is nice. No monthly subscription required.

Terrible app and sleep tracking; NOT the latest version
Update: This is going back and we won't be ordering the V19Pro as planned as a result.While step & heart rate tracking is fine, everything else seems completely made up.My BP numbers are oddly cocsistent... just not consistent with my real readings.But I largely got this for sleep and O2 tracking. And this is garbage for those.The O2 reading stays at a flat 98%, which isn't accurate or normal. For someone monitoring sleep apnea oxygen levels, this could be dangerous.And sleep tracking is a joke. If you know how sleep cycles work, you know deep sleep most often comes early with REM mostly coming later. I've used other, more accurate, sleep trackers and they get this right. This band just churns out erratic readings all night (see screenshot), & shows no awake time ever even though I wake up multiple times per night. Garbage data.I've also had a lot of trouble with the band's Bluetooth. It can go half a day without syncing to the app for me to review my data. If a fitness band can't consistently feed you data, what's the point?It feels like the bare basics work, but all the other features are just for show, feeding you BS "data" so it appears to be doing things it's not. Not OK.---Original review:I picked this band because the company page on Amazon specifically said it was the latest HRV tracker. But it's not. If you go to their own website, there's a newer version (the v19Pro) that's slightly larger and that adds ecg/ekg and glucose tracking (though supposedly the latter is disabled for US users). And while that's listed as a "new" item there, I'm seeing references to it being available elsewhere for at least a year. They're not yet making that version available here on Amazon. But they shouldn't be advertising this here as the latest version when it's not.For the actual band:1. It takes a little while to get used to, but it's not the worst setup I've seen.2. The heart rate and step trackers were extremely accurate -- down to the exact step count in my testing, and almost always an exact match to hear rate measurements on my Galaxy Watch 5, blood pressure machine, and SP02 fingertip tracker.3. BP measurements aren't something to rely on if you have heart issues, but initial testing shows it's "close enough" for more general reference to let you know if you're way out of the norm. Compared to both a dedicated blood pressure machine and my Galaxy Watch 5 (which was more accurate), the diastolic (lower) number is usually within a point or two, but the systolic (upper) number can be more like a 5-10 point variation. All that said, we tried BP tracking with this on two people and the results are very similar. That's odd with one tester having high blood pressure and the other not. So the initial accuracy testing could have been a fluke.4. We just did the first night's sleep tracking test, and it was terrible. It showed no awake time which wasn't true at all. It also didn't detect sleep apnea even when a partner was there to physically observe it multiple times. It tracked my oxygen at a flat 98% all night with no fluctuation (not possible when you literally stop breathing for stretches). And it showed me wildly jumping between light, deep, and REM sleep all night at brief erratic intervals, which simply isn't how sleep works (and again, it missed every "awake" period). We've tested other sleep trackers, and none of them was this far off. The sleep tracking was a major reason for the purchase, specifically to track oxygen while sleeping because the Galaxy watch slips too much during sleep to get accurate O2 readings. We'll try it a couple more nights, but if this shoddy reporting continues it's going to be completely unusable for my needs.5. The app is... not great. There are syncing issues. When you open it, you won't find the latest data often. You need to swipe to sync. Then you'll get some data, but it's not always complete. I sometimes have to swipe to sync 2-3 times over the course of a few seconds before all tracked readings actually show up in the app. This isn't particularly helpful.Overall, disappointed the newer model isn't here (we highly prefer ordering through Amazon in case there are any issues). And while this does a fine job for heart rate and step count, that's not why I ordered it, and if readings continue to be so far off, it might have to get returned.

Muy util. La App puede mejorar
El producto como tal es bastante bueno, hace lo que promete.Muy buen precio. Monitorea presion arterial, oxigenación, sueño, pulso, actividad, etc.El unico asunto es la app asociada, que a veces presenta fallas menores de sincronización.Ojo: no sustituye el monitoreo médico, solo es una guía
