HealthWear

i’ve had the pulse ring for about two weeks now and in general I’m pleased with the product. The app itself, however, when it has errors defaults to Chinese language. And really needs to be better and helping you do functions like ECG monitoring. Nonetheless, having spent $200 for the ring and finally finding the software under this name although it’s listed in the English manual is having an aurora ring name, allowed me to benefit from the functions it does monitor. I still have concerns that this is a Chinese hacking device, but I wear it anyway.

I will explain why I gave 5 stars as they may be something that helps others. The ECG option actually shows you your sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system activity. This comes in handy for someone like myself who has dysautonomia and is constantly in a sympathetic state. They only way I can tell it is accurate to a higher degree is that it matches my symptoms. Low to no symptoms will typically have a lower number. It makes treating the underlying issue easier to control when there is some type of measurable value to monitor. The blood glucose follows it’s own eating schedule. I tend to eat 1 time to maybe 2 times a day and that is definitely not reflected. It is a shame they setup an automatic eating schedule instead of just allowing it to read a formula for your blood sugar as it is at that time because if I check my blood sugar against the nonscheduled eating times it is typically correct. HR and Temperature is accurate, BP is accurate as long as you setup personal mode. Uric Acid and Blood Fat options are great but I have no way to check its accuracy. Steps are not completely accurate, I do use my Apple watch for most things, but this watch adds things my apple watch can not. I do not like that you can not use your own watch face background but I am very happy with this watch. I have used many others and this one writes to Apple Health, it is for the most part pretty accurate. Worth the money and the App is very easy to use. I have went through many watches that were absolutely terrible. This one I will be keeping especially since it has such a rare reference for Dysautonomia that I am so grateful for!

A lot of the features on the app are unavailable using my iphone14. While the watch says it is sync’d and I can see text messages and some other notifications, none of the biometrics are detected. I always get a message saying “device not detected”. None of the settings are editable such as changing units (I have to convert mmol/L to mm/dl manually) and I cannot access the suggested calibration step. For glucose monitoring As noted by others, the weather data and other phone interactions also don’t work. The watch itself seems to decently work, but the glucose reading seems really off compared to my other monitor and not sure if it’s actually helpful. And I cannot perform Calibration as suggested. Many times it also doesn’t seem to recall your past readings, so after a reading you have to be looking at the watch to see it, otherwise watch immediately jumps back to home screen. So if you miss it you have to run the test reading again. Tech support seems non-existent and the videos I do find do not match at all what I actually am seeing in this watch and app. I will be returning this item as it is not meeting my needs.
