Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: -waterproof -paired easily with my iphone 6s -battery lasts about a week -super easy charging (plugs into any usb port, 30 minutes to recharge) -has caller id, notified about text messages and other alerts you can enable -app shows charts and history to measure your progress over time -comfortable to wear -a price that's easy to justify Cons: -Not totally accurate (though I think that's an ongoing issue with all pedometers) -Loses bluetooth connection periodically -Takes a few days to figure it all out Overall: For around 30 bucks, stop being so darn picky and give it a shot I've been using this activity tracker for about 3 weeks now because I wanted to decide if I'm getting it for my younger siblings for Christmas. My verdict: I am If you're thinking of gifting it though, know the packaging isn't the sexiest. A little plain/generic looking and the instructions could be little clearer. As soon as you take it out the box you'll prob want to plug it in to any usb port to charge. Don't be shy, just peel the right side of the band down and pull the unit out of the band it's in. Use part of the 30 minutes it needs to charge to download the Zeroner app to your phone. While the unit charged it'll flash white. When it's done it'll stop flashing. After youre fully charged breathe easy because charging this unit is done so infrequently you wont have to think much about it. Pairing the device to the app is easy. Just open the app, push the menu button in the top right corner, click on Device Connection and search for the tracker. Mine is named something like Braceli5. Putting it on right away, I did a trial walk to see if it accurately was counting my steps. I noticed they were a little inflated but couldn't fool the unit by just swinging or raising/lowering my arms. From what I've read on pedometers though, they aren't necessarily the most precise devices. (Fitbit and Nike band seem to have similar issues based on reviews) From this point I encourage you to play with both the device and the app. The device works by pressing and swiping. Press down on the time and you'll see the date. Swipe from the right and you'll see the steps you've taken. Press down and you'll see distance traveled and calories burned. Swipe again and you'll see the Zzzz's for sleeping mode. Press down and there's a phone locator (will make your phone sound off) and a power button. The app not only tracks your steps, it tracks sleeping too. Though not the most intuitive way to view it. In order to see your sleep tracking click on the checkmark in the top right corner of the app. There you'll see sleep, GPS and the camera function. GPS tracks your movement for either running, cycling or walking. Once you activate any of the 3 modes it'll begin timing and tracking your location. That Pac-Man at the bottom is how you will pause or stop. At the end it'll show you the route you trsveldd, distance, time and calories. I've only used it once so far and it seemed fairly accurate. Distance I agreed with but pace and other smaller details I wasn't so sure about. The camera function is supposed to let you take a picture with your phone away from you. I'm not sure when or why you would use it but I guess it can be useful for some people. Overall, all of these options for 30 bucks are so worth it. I also notice now I'm more mindful about being active because this device lives on my wrist and is a constant reminder, if only subliminally, that I should be working towards the target of 10,000 steps per day. Oh and 1 more note, it goals you at 10,000 steps. When you hit the 10,000 mark the unit vibrates to notify you. There's no notification that pops us, you just kinda have to know that's what it's for. Lol
