    A while back I reviewed a budget smart fitness band (link to previous video below) - the one problem I had with that device was the small, monochrome screen - so I had high hopes for this one, which promises a larger, colour OLED screen.
    Unfortunately, the reality was just disappointing - to the extent that I don't really see the point in feature testing the device.
    So... Either spend a bit more and get something a bit better quality, or if you are on a genuinely small budget, trim back your expectations.
    Here's the video where I reviewed a different (and all in all,. better) option:

      You can easily prove your point, by taking the band off of your wrist and hit the heart rate or blood pressure sensor. It still measures some magical heart rate and blood pressure with it being nowhere near you... So it is a bs...

    This connector is not really a USB type. I had no manual in my box, so there is nothing that shows what way the thing goes in the USB socket. It is loose either way, and the screen does not show that it is charging either way. How would anyone know when it is charged? Very unhappy with this. And like was said, the strap is too hard to pull off. it is a really stupid way to charge something. After awhile, the strap would wear so it might fall off one's wrist eventially. It also should not have to be used with an app. It should be all on the screen. The whold thing is user unfriendly.

    I have this and I can say I don't hate it. My screen is way brighter than yours appears to be. The battery life is 2 days basically. I don't think mine is as thick as yours but then again it may be that obnoxious pink band making it look that way. I don't have a complaint about the charge method...after 2 months I notice no diminished holding ability of the band. And for $12 I certainly dont expect it to last over a year. I have 2 $100 up24 bands that didn't even last a year so I do t want to hear how great those are. I had other cinese bands that didn't even work out of the box. The app can be slow to sync and I wish it shared info with Google...but again it's $12 so let's be realistic.
    Edit..one thing that could be easy to fix...the way it displays text messages is not so great...o ly the first bit of it shows with no real way to scroll. A simple firmware update though...but I don't remain hopeful. Again $12...

    I bought this, but it had a different name and everything. They're selling them under different names. I can't install the lefun health app at all, even though my phone easily meets the stated req for it. I did find a lefun wear app that I was able to download, but doesn't seem to register to the phone all the time. The steps function doesn't work, the sleep tracker also doesn't work well, and it's not waterproof as it was listed where I bought it. I'm also kind of disappointed, but since it does take heart rate. blood pressure, and spo2 readings I suppose its worth $8. Also I bought two and one didn't come with the metal part of the bracelet so its useless as is. They can take blood pressure readings because they are based on pulse mostly. Its not exceptionally accurate that way, but close enough for a daily check if you don't have other health problems and need a accurate reading.
    So, I got what I paid for. lol I shouldn't be disappointed, I mean, it did turn on. Sorry to leave a novel here if its inappropriate.

    Just from your review, its pretty clear you didn't do your research on it. I mean for the price what can you expect? I gave $8 for mine and its decent for that price. I've had no issues with the screen being bright enough. And you obviously didn't read the user guide or even the box it came in. If you had, you would have seen you can pair you watch with the app on your phone. Which gives you the ability to turn on the feature to wake up your watch when you raise your arm. I will say the band could be more comfortable and the usb in the watch band does seem like a faulty design. But overall this watch isn't that bad for what you give for it. You can't pay dollar store prices and expect a top of the line smart watch. So far I've been pretty satisfied with mine.

    • @AtomicShrimp
      @AtomicShrimp  Před 5 lety +4

      I can only imagine you didn't watch the entire video. I thought I was pretty fair to this product in terms of acknowledging the feature set for the price. Your unit may have a bright screen - this one simply doesn't (and surely you can see that on the video).
      You're right about the app making the wrist activation setting available. Apart from that, I stand by what I said here.

    • @crazyfun5150
      @crazyfun5150 Před 5 lety

      @@AtomicShrimp actually I did watch the entire video. Me personally for the price I didn't think you were being fair to the product. Since its clear you didn't even pair the watch with the app. If you did get one with a dim screen I'm sure defects happen in products this cheap. So like I said you can't expect a top of the line smart watch for $8. Anyone with common sense would have to realize that. Also, I'm sure this product isn't for everyone. That's fine as opinions differ. All I'm saying is in my opinion you get decent quality for the price you are paying. It would be a much different story if this watch was a more expensive model.

    • @AtomicShrimp
      @AtomicShrimp  Před 5 lety +3

      I don't disagree that this is more than the appropriate level of features for the price - like I said, I think they have just tried too hard for features this price point, resulting in some cut corners on overall quality. IMO, the right thing to do it pay a bit more for this feature set (and hopefully get better quality) or look for a slightly simpler model at this price

    • @crazyfun5150
      @crazyfun5150 Před 5 lety

      @@AtomicShrimp That's kind of the thing though. At this particular price point, I highly doubt you would find a watch with all the features of an expensive watch. So comparing this to a more expensive one is apples and oranges comparison. While this smart watch isn't top of the line it is a good watch for those on a budget like me. To be honest I'm surprised it has all the features it does for the price. Based on my experience so far I'd rate the watch a 3 out of 5 stars. With only the faulty usb design and the band being slightly uncomfortable being the downsides I've noticed. True the features could be better but for the money not a bad deal imo.

    • @AtomicShrimp

    You can't normally measure a BP just by shining a light at your wrist/arm.
    Pulse reading seems to be accurate.
    The USB plug easily fits in the phone charger but it's the wrong angle to plug into some computer USB connectors.
    Can't read the manual easily because the text is so small and can't find an online version to read.
    The QR code takes you to either Android or Apple software. The software is called "Yoho Sports".
    Still trying to get bluetooth to sync the phone and the Smart Band:
    The Smart Band pops up as MSLM707
    BTW: If you're trying to turn it on. Hold your finger on the sensor at the bottom of the screen for 4 seconds.
    If you're trying to turn it off flip to the MAC (Media Access Control) address and hold your finger on the sensor for 4 seconds.
    You will get a screen saying "On" and "Off". Choose "Off" using the sensor and then wait for a few seconds and it will turn itself off.
    N.B. As the Smart Band turns itself on it flashes "Yoho" on the screen. So this must be generic hardware for Yoho?

    A lot of these watches are dirt cheap that you can't really expect them to be any good. Some are ok but it's a bit of a hit or miss. If you want a good smart watch you gotta pay at least around $40, but prices can vary wildly so do your homework before buying. I got my Zeblaze Vibe 5 for $30 including shipping and it's been really great. No touch screen but I honestly prefer pressing buttons than fiddling with the watch face and getting it all smudged up. If you want a cheap smart watch try the Zeblaze Crystal 2. You can get it for about $20. It's a plastic watch that feels like a toy and it's pretty basic but it comes from a brand that's more than just a reseller company. I say this because many of these smart watches are made by ODMs that just resell them to companies like Lokmat, Microwear, Bakeey, etc. These guys don't even do anything to brand those watches and the watches still just come in generic boxes. The only branding you see is on the website selling them like Banggood, Gear Best, Ali Baba, and all the countless online merchant platforms like Lazada, Shopee, etc. Some examples are the L5 and L8 (Microwear, Lokmat, SUPP, etc.), KW19 (Kingwear, Lokmat, etc.), and countless others. Zeblaze is, at least as far as I know, designing their own watches and not just reselling stuff from a behind-the-scenes ODM or solutions provider. Not saying all those other 'brands' (quotes intentional) are crap and Zeblaze is much better; I'm just saying how the Chinese smart watch industry works, who's who in it (as far as I know), and how you can't really expect much for $10 or less. Personally if it's too cheap I just ignore them because I know they'll not only look cheap and perhaps give the wrong impression, but they probably aren't worth the time. Heck just buy a good burger.
