FITVII Fitness Tracker, Smart Watch with 24/7 Blood Pressure Heart Rate and Blood Oxygen Monitor, Sleep Tracker with Calorie Step Counter, IP68 Waterproof Activity Tracker for… by FITVII

Good product until the battery stop holding a charge. To be fair I have had it for three years. But that shouldn’t matter.

I ordered this watch for my husband as his regular Fitbit (Charge 4) is difficult to read outside (i.e. the golf course). We used it for almost a month and these were our findings:
Pros-
*Loved the look of the watch – color display and very easy to read, even outside. Changeable watch faces via the app.
*Price was amazing – 1/3 of the cost of the Fitbit Charge 4.
*Band was superior to the Charge 4 with actual spring loaded pins rather that a flimsy clip connection.
*Charging cord- has magnetic pins and is very easy to use.
Cons-
We consistently found the FITVII step counter reading low so we calibrated it against his Fitbit Charge 4 by wearing both trackers on the same day. Our findings were disappointing. The longer the timeframe the more the discrepancy was between the two trackers. During a round of 9 holes of golf, the FitVII was off by over 2000 steps. I immediately contacted customer support (via email) and their response was that there had been complaints about the accuracy of their products and they were working to improve them.. In particular, here is an excerpt from their reply: “I would also like to inform you that the product calculates the steps based on the hand waving and distance, so if you are walking, it records the steps according to how long you have been walking and your hand waving. If you walk without waving your hands, the device may not record any steps.” What??? So the GPS connection is only activated with hand motion, and since most of us walk with some hand movement, it needs “excessive” hand movement.
*Heartrate monitoring – The readout that displays on the tracker is just the readout of the last time you activated the heartrate feature. You must select it, then wait 30-45 seconds for it to monitor your heartrate for a reading. Our regular Fitbit monitors heartrate constantly so this feature on the FITVII is quite inferior.
*Blood Pressure- We found this to be all over the place. I read a review by a Doctor, and he was so alarmed by the inaccuracy of this feature, that he would not recommend it.
*We didn’t monitor other features such as Sleep Tracking (but read reviews that it is also highly inaccurate).
In summary, it is going back. Initially it looked promising, but you get what you pay for.

I’ve had this watch for over a year now and it’s pretty nice. The messages come thru but the weather is never correct. I’m not sure how to fix that. The price is fair and the steps count seem to work. I am disappointed that the face pictured in the Amazon listing is not one that is available to choose from. That was what attracted me to this watch. It syncs easy and the app is pretty easy to use. It’s not too big on my small wrist. I wish there were more colors available.

I have to be honest. I have been an Apple girl for years. I’ve owned two Apple Watches and couldn’t imagine owning anything else – until I did. I wanted a watch that measured blood pressure as well and I didn’t want to spend an another $400+. I figured for $29, what could it hurt? I tired it – and I like it! I have checked the O2 and BP against other instruments and they are right in the ballpark! My steps are measured and everything I need works to my satisfaction. It even has some fun faces. Not bad!

Very happy with item arrived early
