Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would like to address one issue before moving on with this review. After purchasing this product, I learned that they will give $15 bucks if you give a review. While some may see this as a positive, I have always frowned upon this, as it may influence users to give positive reviews when it's not merited. I did not take this, as i want it to be known this review is not reflective of any rewards they give for giving reviews. With that said, moving on... This watch is actually quite good for the price. You do get what you pay for, and then some. It's very accurate with the step counts and heart rate. The sleep cycle seems to know when i am asleep and seems to know when i am in deep sleep. How accurate this is, I have no idea. I have nothing to compare it too. But it does seem to know when i am asleep. Using the watch for notifications: It's hit or miss if you will get messages, be that facebook, mail or whatever. My watch worked great for the first few days with the notifications, but has seemed to stop after just a few days of working. This is not a big deal for me, as i more wanted it for the health monitoring features. These are just my experiences with it, your results may vary. The quality seems good with exception to the band. It just feels flimsy.It hasn't broke on me or anything, just saying that if it should, It wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't wear this in a industrial setting at all, but rather for your personal time. It is water resistant, as i have showered and done dishes with it without issue. The app that you will download to your phone is quite good. I actually like it better than googles. That is saying a lot as i have been a die hard user of google fit since it was rolled out. In summary, Good watch, you get your monies worth out of it. Just not sure how long the band will last. I will update from time to time with any updates. Also, remember that some of these other reviews may have been influenced by the $15 bonus if you review it. Again, I didn't take that option.
