Love this fitness watch !
A few weeks ago I bought a fitness watch of a different brand. I knew absolutely nothing about fitness watches or their apps - and chose one that was reasonably priced and had fairly good reviews. Well, that didn't work out too well and I had to return it. I learned a couple of things from that watch - it's important to have an adjustable 'wrist turn' feature... 1/3 of the time, I couldn't get that watch to 'wake up' and thought I was going to sprain my wrist...that particular watch also had an issue connecting to bluetooth and staying connected and I didn't like the app that was associated with that watch. I took another look at the reasonably priced fitness watches on Amazon...I read the reviews, looked at the ratings and one of the most important things that I did was I also went to Google Play Store and read the reviews of the app that particular watch used. You may really like a watch, but, if it's not a good app - you probably won't like your watch for very long. Based on the Amazon reviews and the Google Play Store reviews of the H Band app - I selected the MorePro. It's reasonably priced.....has a setting to increase or decrease wrist turn sensitivity...choice of watch faces....the usual alarms...notifies you of gmail, sms etc.... monitors heart rate and blood pressure among other things. (If you have blood pressure issues, it's important to remember that the watch should only be a guide....and you should still use your BP cuff to monitor your BP.) Of course, it monitors your steps and running, etc. Setup was pretty easy, the next day I did have an issue with connectivity and receiving notifications about gmail, etc. I sent an email off to customer service. Meanwhile, as I was waiting for their response - I figured out how to fix the connectivity issue and the notifications....so simple - I cleared my bluetooth cach....problem solved. I did receive a response from the company and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they responded and how very nice they were. 1. Some of the other reviewers of this watch thought the watch strap wasn't holding up well....frankly, I don't care about that - I like the watch and app so much, I'll just buy a replacement strap for it....Amazon carries them. 2. Some reviewers were concerned about connectivity - clear you bluetooth cache - that should resolve that issue. 3. Some felt that the sleep tracker wasn't tracking correctly.....I learned that having the watch go into sleep tracker mode, seems to depend upon wrist movement when you first go to bed. I try to keep my wrist still, and that does put it into sleep tracker mode and it will chart my entire nights sleep - not just the last 2 or 3 hrs of sleep. 4. Some reviews felt it was waterproof, others not so much. I live in the Pacific NW, so we get our fair share of rain - I wasn't concerned with swimming, just needed a fitness watch that could take getting rained on. I personally, would not wear it swimming or wear it showering etc...that's just how I am. I hope this information is helpful to anyone considering their first fitness tracker watch. I love my MorePro ( & love the H Band app) and would absolutely buy it again without even a second thought.
