FITVII Fitness Tracker, Smart Watch with 24/7 Blood Pressure Heart Rate and Blood Oxygen Monitor, Sleep Tracker with Calorie Step Counter, IP68 Waterproof Activity Tracker for Women Men Android iOS

Sort of like a Fitbit, but not as costly
I had a Fitbit Versa 2 and it finally died after a year’s worth of daily use… so I went looking for a cheaper alternative. This FITVII (FIT 7) is a nice watch. The 1st charge has lasted me a week and a half and still has a day or two left before it needs to go back on the charger. The charger for this watch is incredibly easy to use. There are 2 magnets on the back of the watch and the charging cable can only be attached in one direction. It’s literally fool-proof! It takes a couple hours to charge… which is way faster than my last watch.While not a mainstream brand, FITVII has done a really nice job with the watch’s interface and the cell phone application. My Android app launches quickly, communicates sparingly with the watch and allows me to set everything on the watch on my cell phone. Accuracy is the only spot I would ding this watch; heart rate and blood pressure do not match medical devices (think: blood pressure arm cuff) and the pace distance cannot be adjusted for your stride like Fitbit. I find my steps are a bit low at the end of the day, but it does track my movement. So, just adjusted my goal from 10,000 steps down to 8,000 and call it good. 😁 (Fitbit wouldn’t even allow that!)The swiping actions are consistent and rarely missed (except when the watch face is wet). The interface is colorful and clear. There are plenty of watch faces to customize with, and everything is readily configurable in the cell phone app. Sleep tracking is right on for timeframes and duration. The alarm buzzes just hard enough on my wrist to wake me each morning without a jolt. The weather app on the watch is decent and tracks with current conditions. messaging and phone calls happen within milliseconds between my phone and watch. I get a buzzing notification for new messages and incoming phone calls. I can even deny the call from my watch without searching for my phone during working hours.There are so many features in the watch that I haven’t even used them all… and possibly never will! Just go buy one and pocket the extra hundred bucks you would have paid for a different smart watch.

Easy to read but not the least bit accurate
I ordered this watch for my husband as his regular Fitbit (Charge 4) is difficult to read outside (i.e. the golf course). We used it for almost a month and these were our findings:Pros-*Loved the look of the watch – color display and very easy to read, even outside. Changeable watch faces via the app.*Price was amazing – 1/3 of the cost of the Fitbit Charge 4.*Band was superior to the Charge 4 with actual spring loaded pins rather that a flimsy clip connection.*Charging cord- has magnetic pins and is very easy to use.Cons-We consistently found the FITVII step counter reading low so we calibrated it against his Fitbit Charge 4 by wearing both trackers on the same day. Our findings were disappointing. The longer the timeframe the more the discrepancy was between the two trackers. During a round of 9 holes of golf, the FitVII was off by over 2000 steps. I immediately contacted customer support (via email) and their response was that there had been complaints about the accuracy of their products and they were working to improve them.. In particular, here is an excerpt from their reply: “I would also like to inform you that the product calculates the steps based on the hand waving and distance, so if you are walking, it records the steps according to how long you have been walking and your hand waving. If you walk without waving your hands, the device may not record any steps.” What??? So the GPS connection is only activated with hand motion, and since most of us walk with some hand movement, it needs “excessive” hand movement.*Heartrate monitoring – The readout that displays on the tracker is just the readout of the last time you activated the heartrate feature. You must select it, then wait 30-45 seconds for it to monitor your heartrate for a reading. Our regular Fitbit monitors heartrate constantly so this feature on the FITVII is quite inferior.*Blood Pressure- We found this to be all over the place. I read a review by a Doctor, and he was so alarmed by the inaccuracy of this feature, that he would not recommend it.*We didn’t monitor other features such as Sleep Tracking (but read reviews that it is also highly inaccurate).In summary, it is going back. Initially it looked promising, but you get what you pay for.

love this watch! works really well.

It’s a scam please don’t buy. They send you a cheap 500/- watch and won’t let you return it either.
