Hero Band III

I bought this watch for my mother who wanted to keep track of her steps as well as her heart rate and blood pressure. And it actually does a really good job of that. But she does not have a smart phone so I have it linked to my phone, which is OK except that I don’t want any of my notifications to go to her watch. So I went and turned them all off the day that I got the watch and set it up for her. But every day it keeps sending her notifications and they seem to get randomly turned on and unless I go in manually every day and turn them all off, she continues to get my texts and phone calls etc. Why is it that even though I turned them off they turn themselves back on? They should just stay turned off. Also the directions that come with the watch do not really explain how to actually use the watch. They just seem to explain how to connect the watch to a smart phone. I have been trying to figure out for months now how to reset her steps to start over at the beginning of each exercise. It doesn’t seem to want to clear out and the main display and the exercise portion don’t match. For example today we went out shopping and the main display recorded over 3000 steps but the exercise display right now says that she only walked 416 steps. Does the exercise portion start and stop every time she starts or stops her exercise even though we’re not telling it to stop? Some instructions explaining how all of this works would have been very helpful, but there are no such instructions in the box. I also did not have very much luck finding any instructions online either. Also the touchscreen does not work very well when it is actually on her wrist. It seems to only work well if we take it off and swipe only with our thumb. I think the watch has potential but definitely needs some improvements. But it is a good basic watch for an older person who just wants to keep track of their activity. If only it came with some instructions so we knew what it actually meant…

I previously had the Apple Watch and lost it so I was forced to get a new sports watch! I looked at other brands that were much more expensive and even purchased different ones. This one stood out, 1) because I have small wrists, both the size of this and the bevel of the glass Just made it look better, 2) the ability to change the faces and 3) the battery in comparison to my Apple Watch... well there is no comparison. I had to charge my Apple Watch 2X every single day. This watch I charged on Monday and today is Friday and it has 58% battery left. Changes I would like to see: It doesn’t give a good explanation for comparisons with other data. I.e., I slept 5hrs 53 min and it reports back, “than 51% similar users sleep less” somehow I find it hard to believe 51% users sleep less than basically 6 hours each night. For the people that say something isn’t accurate, are you just assuming it was accurate before? Maybe it wasn’t correct before? Overall, I am extremely happy with this watch and recommended to friends. One actually ordered the same watch yesterday but hasn’t received it yet. I would definitely recommend this. Thank you.

I really like this watch and I like all the different features on it but the slip counter could use some improvement. For example last night I slept from 9:50 until 7:30 this morning after waking up at 12:10 but it only recorded the time from 9:50 until 12:10 Does it not record any more sleep after you go back to sleep or is it over once you’ve woken up. I had another watch before this that recorded the awake times in between your sleep times but evidently this one does not. Also it records me having a lot more light sleep then deep sleep which I’m not sure is accurate or maybe my other one wasn’t accurate in that regard since it reported more light sleep then deep sleep. But I would really like it to be fixed where it will continue counting all of your sleep and putting the awake times in between your sleep times. Update:It is now tracking my whole sleep cycle. But there’s some other issues with it:I have it set to notify me of messages and phone calls but it won’t do that instead it notifies me of every single email I get and when I go to my settings it doesn’t even give you the option of notifying you of email so I don’t know why it does that. Also I have it set for weather but it never gives me a weather report.
