FITVIISlim Fitness Tracker with Blood Oxygen, Blood Pressure, 24/7 Heart Rate and Sleep Tracking, IP68 Waterproof Activity Trackers and Smart Watches with Step Tracker, Pedometer for Women Men

I bought this watch for a family member over the age of 80. Why is that detail important? This person is not tech savvy and lives 900 miles away so I cannot assist with set up. So this person was able to get it set up with an Apple phone without my assistance. The questions I had were does the BPM look right and does the blood pressure monitoring look right? I was very surprised to hear yes from my family member based on the posted testimonials. I am personally a long time fan of another prominent brand but that watch failed so I was in the market. What attracted me to this watch were the BPM, activity tracker, water safe, and blood pressure monitor functions. I was skeptical. Very skeptical. Mine arrived requiring a charge. I was uneasy about the wristband option but I knew that I did not want the other design. Wow. Downloaded the app. Paired the watch with my Android phone. And moved easily through the features. I tested my BPM. Looked reasonable. Checked my blood pressure. Also looked reasonable. The magnetic wristband is better than expected; I love it. I can change the display and even “find my phone.” Best of all, I did all of this without setting up an account. Take a chance and buy one. It is simple but it probably has many of the features you want or are accustom to. I would recommend to a friend or family member.

I really like the FITVII Slim Fitness Tracker! It has a sleek, jewelry-like design that makes it easy to wear every day, whether I’m working out or going out. The health tracking features are solid—heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen monitoring work well and provide useful insights for staying on top of fitness goals.Sleep tracking and activity monitoring are accurate enough, and the smart features like call/text alerts, weather, and reminders are a nice bonus. Battery life is decent too—lasts about a week on a full charge.One star off because the app interface could be a bit more polished and syncing can be a little slow at times. But overall, it's a great value and looks better than most fitness bands!

So far, so good. I've only used this for a few days, but am pretty impressed! First off, I think they sent a gold colored watch face for my pink band, but it's not that noticeable. I wondered how it could measure BP without pumping up, but apparently there is something new called pulse arrival time (PAT) that measures time and/or strength between a heartbeat and the time it reaches your wrist as a pulse. It's seeming pretty accurate. Same with oxygen and HR. Weather measurement is off. I tried the sleep monitoring one night and that seemed pretty good too. I usually have an 1.5-hr intermission during sleep in the middle (hate it, but that's the way it is). It picked up a 30 min awake time surrounded by light sleep instead. I'm usually watching TV during that time, so I think I was awake. No biggie. I saw that I'm getting the deep sleep required. Steps seemed spot on when going straight continually, maybe not as good when turning around. I haven't tried the different activities' counts, but found when I rode my exercise bike, the watch did not pick it up as steps. I'm older and not great with newer technology, but eventually did sort out most of the app and settings. Tricky for old fingers to get the band on, but I did. Then realized I needed to charge it first and couldn't find any holes. By luck, when maneuvering it, the swinging cable attached itself to the magnets on the back of the watch. LOL. The Q&As here helped me along (thanks, fellow shoppers). I'm still getting the swiping directions down to find things on it. For those who can't find how to change metric to imperial, you do it through the app on your phone. There are three tabs in the app at the bottom of the screen that bring up a host of selections under Home, Device, and Mine. For some things to work, you need to provide permissions. IE, I had to allow access to SMS and WhatsApp to view text messages on the screen. Tiny to read, but neat technology. It throws out Hints if you're trying to set something up, but have not allowed specific permissions yet to do so. Now some of the things it asked permission for seemed out of bounds to me, and I refused. So I probably will never even try to put a picture on my watch, see my email there or phone calls. I did find a more pleasing face dial in their app library than the red/black or striped thing. Lastly, I can't report on longevity, but if it fails anytime soon, I will update. I'm quite pleased right now. 3/19: Still liking the watch, but a couple issues. It can be frustrating to scroll on the watch face. Some swipes don't seem to register. I've found a slow thumb moves the menu best for me to get to the correct area without opening a different one with my swipe. A couple times, the watch face has seemed to change itself- perhaps I did it accidentally. But I've always been able to get the one I want back. I read here that a person put it on a drinking glass and it still read a heart rate, so I tried it. Nope, mine shows blanks. When you first open a previously used function, it will display the last measurement taken, so I wonder if that was the case with the reads that person got.

I was so happy to find a tracker that also measured blood pressure, not many do. What was disappointing was the lack of consistent real time heart rate tracking. I assumed the watch face would show heart rate in real time, but quickly discovered that it only showed the last measurement taken manually. By manually I mean I had to turn the watch on, click on the HR icon, and then wait about 30 seconds for a current reading. That might work for some people, but if you are looking for a tracker that shows your HR in real time when exerting yourself you'll be disappointed. BP readings require the same steps, but that was OK, I don't need a constant update on that. The HR readings were mostly accurate, although one time I was sitting completely relaxed and it registered 95 beats, which seemed way off so I instantly took the measurement again and it showed 64 beats, which seemed about right. The product description states HR 24/7, which I feel is misleading. I dug a little further in the product description and found that it was suppose to update every ten minutes, not great for my needs, but the watch I received didn't even do that.On the upside, the watch is very comfortable to wear and looks nice, and was easy to set up. I found the sleep tracker to be accurate based on my memory of the night, and BP reading seem to be inline with what I know about my BP. It did notify me of a text I received and I was able to read it on the watch face, can't speak to call notification as I didn't receive any calls while I was wearing the tracker. I will be returning this item since real time HR readings are the main reason for wearing a fitness tracker and I know people who have other trackers that offer that function.

Really enjoy the size and look of this watch. Only complaint is that the Blood Pressure reading is waaaay off! Too low of a reading consistently.
