I was recently requested to review a fitness tracker that advertised an app and an extra long battery life and being the best personal activity tracker for android. I decided I would set it up against Samsung Health (A native app in Android) and see how it compares (more on the app specifically below). It provided a similar heart rate and the steps were similar enough (within a tolerance).The fitness band has a nice construction with a soft, but durable plastic/rubber wristband and a fashionable diamond pattern on the outside. It is about the size of a typical watch and isn't any wider than the biometric device I reviewed previously. The time on this one was even in a 12 hour format!
Charging is easy due to it being USB, however, I must warn you that you can only plug it into your computer. If you plug it into your phone charger, you will short it out and fry it, ruining it. The battery life was astounding, lasting for 4 days (and still going), much longer than I would have expected.
The biggest challenge was the app. It wasn't very user friendly, but after pushing through, I was able to get data across. I quickly realized that a strange notification-like chime was randomly being played through my phone and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the sound to turn off and stop buzzing. The only solution I found was to uninstall the fitness app. If you take anything away from this, BEWARE OF THE APP!This is only a fitness band and not a biometric band so it keeps track of movement more than heart rate, ECG, SpO2, etc. You can find this band on Amazon here:

I received this item for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
