ROOCKE Heart Rate Monitor Fitness Tracker Bluetooth Smart Sport Watch Activity Tracker with Step Counter Sleep Monitoring Calories for Calorie Tracker Bracelet

I took a chance by ordering this off brand fitness tracker. I've used Fitbit for many years and have been pretty pleased with them. I've also used Samsung gear fit and I liked it. I was looking for a pedometer that would have phone/notification alerts on it as well. The alerts were pretty good on this, I just wish there was a way to add whatever app you wanted for alerts. The tracking of the steps was pretty good for this as well. I compared it to a couple other bands I use and it seemed pretty reliable. The main reason I didn't like it as much was because the touch screen almost made it harder to work the thing. Whenever it was bumped or brushed against it would turn on and vibrate, this happened all the time! Also trying to select the search for phone was near impossible! Once I scrolled through and was going to select that option it would just go to next option! I tried it so many different ways to the point of just being frustrated with it because It wouldn't let you select anything! If you are looking for a cheap pedometer, with basic notifications this band is for you, if you are looking for more I would suggest something more pricey. I was thinking about getting the Fitbit Alta, but after researching it I decided that it was not quite what i was looking for. It was more made for looks and didn't offer that much for notifications. I stumbled on the Pebble Classic watch and purchased it at Target, and so far I am loving it! You can customize it so many ways and add tons of apps to fit your needs. I use the misfit app to track my activity/sleep and I love how its set up, you set a goal and depending on how far you get you get points. Its nice to have something to work towards.

I was looking for a "smart watch" that was cheap and simple and took a chance on this product despite having almost no reviews. I have to say for the money it's been fantastic. I was afraid it would be flimsy and feel cheap, but it's quite the opposite. It's light, rugged, and has stood up to the outdoors just fine. To fully charge the device it typically takes 30 minutes when plugged into my PC's USB. The manufacturer lists the battery life between 5-7 days, but I found it will last a couple days longer than that. The display is also bright enough to be seen clearly in broad daylight, but not so bright it's blinding at night. When I receive a phone call, text, Facebook message, or Skype message (all of which can be selected for) the device will vibrate and display the ID and app of the person contacting me. There is no function to answer or ignore a phone call.Be aware of few things: One, you must download an app Zeroner (available for free on Google Play) in order to use the device and it does require security access (contacts, profiles, picture gallery, etc.) when installed, similar to most social media apps. The app is very functional though recording your steps, calculating burned calories and lets you set goals, alarms, and reminders. Two, I have noticed the pedometer isn't completely accurate. It will count some motion of your hands and arms as steps, which is typical in most pedometers but it might come down to quality.I noticed there's very similar products available on Amazon (if not identical), but as far as I can tell this works nearly as advertised. Hope this helps.

I am modifying my original, very low rating and accompanying review to a higher one. The reason for this is because the Seller was very quick to seek me out, given the review, and then attempted to make things right for me. They have been very polite, professional in handling the issue.In spite of that, I returned the device and they promptly refunded me.My original low rating resulted from inaccurate pedometer readings from this device. One could argue that it is not entirely the Seller's fault, but rather, the fact that this device, and comparable others, have technology that is too crude to measure with any accuracy (i.e. no GPS). It seems that the Seller is following the custom of all other competitors to not warn buyers that their devices cannot deliver what they promise, which is to measure how many steps you've taken in a given period of time.I had also suggested that the manual included with the device be printed using larger font and that the English translation be edited for grammar and clarity.Pairing of the device to the app is somewhat flaky. Again, this is more a function of the crude technology, not a flaw in the device itself.Finally, I also suggested that the device have an option for metric vs. British units. I am comfortable with either of these, but in some parts of the world the British units are (annoyingly) still used. This is not very complex technology, so it should be standard.The pedometerwhat's the point of a measuring device that's incapable of measuring accurately? The pedometer is total science fiction.Also, it'd been a simple thing to include in their software, a metric/British units conversion option. Be prepared to have readings in sensible units rather than in those silly British units,

Please let me return or exchange this product. Kinda worked for 31 days, then died horrible death. Won't turn on, reboot, anything. Purchased 2, and 1 works great. Please allow me to return/exchange and I'll redo this review.
