5+ Stars - Exactly what I am looking for
I have to write this review because I was misled by a lot of negative reviews and waited for long time. I almost decided to buy the Fitbit verse 3, but wanted to give this band a try first.
I have owned two Samsung smartwatches, one Fitbit, and a new Apple watch 6 for wife, but I am looking for a simple, light, long battery life particularly with Alexa control function smart device. I finally made decision to try it. It took less than 5 minutes to setup EVERYTHING. The screen is beautiful, super crisp text. The Alexa function works perfectly even without the ability of speaker. I can read text message, and get phone call notification. It has a lot of basic health fitness tracker features that are very useful. I would give it 5+ stars.
Now, why I disagree with some of the negative reviews which is misleading.
** Simply the most important: set the right/realistic expectation for a $35 smart device that can do Alexa control
1. Not accurate: come on... is the xx steps difference really that important for you which will destroy your whole health tracking plan? If yes, go spend $400 to get an Apple watch. what's important is the trending: did you exercise consistently, do you have a surge or drop in the heart rate suddenly.
2. Buggy software: I set it up and forget about it. I am not really sure what buggy is about. Are you doing a stress testing for a $35 device?
3. if you are pulling out each feature and compare with a dedicated device or apple watch or Samsung watch, why don't you buy all those devices to make sure you are happy with everything?
Last comment/warning: the screen is small, the text may be too small for some users. For me, it is really trivial comparing with what I am expecting from this smart Alexa band.
Thanks.
