H Band 12+

The tracker looks nice and has some really nice functions. I just wish they worked right! It has potential to be so much better. Wore it for the first time last night and the sleep data is WAY off. It says I went to sleep 15 minutes before I even turned off the light and that I didn’t wake up when I really woke up 3 times. And even though I got out of bed at the time it says, I had been awake for awhile. If it is just monitoring the amount of time I am lying down that is useless when it is supposed to be tracking sleep quality. I like the blood pressure function but since the sleep data is so off I wonder how accurate the bp data really is. The sedentary setting appears to be useless also with only a 6 hour window to choose. I can’t even choose a start time in the morning! Let me choose when I want to be reminded to move. I wish that when I pushed the button on the tracker that the screen would stay on longer. It goes off in less than 3 seconds. That is fine if I just lift my hand to check the time but if I push the button to use it I want it to stay on until I am done. I wish there was a way to adjust the time the screen stays on. I found that it doesn’t accurately record my steps when I am mowing the lawn because my arm isn’t moving while pushing the mower. I wish there was a way to fix that. And finally, I wish that the data synced with the health app already on my phone instead of being a standalone app.

After eight months of usage this “Heart Watch” has gone through some developmental changes for certain. A few months ago the reading for blood pressure were so far off it was ridiculous. Then it just showed a message that said it could no longer read any blood pressure. I stopped using for a few weeks and stuck it in a drawer. I decided to pull it out, charge it and do some troubleshooting about a month ago and noticed it had a new orientation. I did some tests and the heart rate, blood pressure, sleep and fitness functions appeared to be functional once again. I started wearing the watch again. I do like that the heart monitor randomly runs and collects data throughout the day. Question is ? Why can’t the Blood Pressure monitor also do that ? I have to stop what I’m doing and run the test for the BP to get data. I don’t always have time or remember to do this.
I realize this is a free app but I’d be willing to spend a few bucks for the software developers to add a few “bells and whistles” to this program like the “big “A” has on their products.
Keep chipping away at it developers, you have a lot of potential for a great product here.

I recently received my watch. I like the watch, but the app needs some work. While the graphical interface in the app looks good, there are a few glaring flaws. Some of the data sets are in Mandarin. Generally speaking, if you market a product in the US, the data displayed in the companion app needs to be in English. Feed back that is in Mandain, for most people in this market, is no different than gibberish. The sleep data for a day is not cumulative: it records a single event. This is a big flaw- it makes the watch worthless for this function. Many people, more than half, wake up in the middle of the night on a routine basis. The sleep function NEEDS to be cumlative for all sleep periods in a day. This needs to be fixed. Also a big issue: much of the screen text in the app is very tiny, so even with 20/20 vision you need a magnifying glass to read it; the app does not allow you to you zoom-in to see it better. Like the text that is in Mandarin, text that is too small to read is basically useless. I expect many products to have poor instructions for use- this year ne is no different- no worries there- once you poke the buttons enough you’ll get the basic idea of what the main button does...the other two buttons, who knows- they seem to be for looks only. This watch us cloose to being a great product, at this time it is not one mainly because of the app.
