Xiaomi fitness bracelet reviews
Dmitry Fedorov: «The charge is enough with active use for 2-3 weeks. The pedometer works quite accurately, it makes mistakes mainly when driving over bumps in a car / minibus. After the update, the bracelet began to show the name of the caller, it is very convenient. In order for the bracelet to measure the pulse, it must fit the hand quite tightly. For several days, the bracelet emitted a specific smell, if you sniff it strongly, after a week the smell disappeared. My recommendation is to definitely take».
Boryak Denis Vladimirovich: «I have been using it for over a week. I use a third-party program, set it up for myself. Satisfied completely. For a week I caught 2 scratches, the first one accidentally hooked on the wall, the second I can't imagine where. Also, the dog pulled a little claw at the strap (while playing with his paw on my hand). In general, I am more than satisfied, I can advise everyone, but I immediately warn you, if you are not ready to buy every six months to buy a new bracelet - glue the film».
Burdin Alexander Nikolaevich: «Reinstalling the Mi Fit application helped this gadget to work correctly. The pedometer works with good accuracy. Sleep parsing into phases was incredibly surprising with its algorithm, it tracks and monitors sleep quite accurately. If you are a fan of cycling, then I recommend installing the Google Fit app on your smartphone and syncing it with Mi Fit.
Advantages: pedometer, heart rate monitor, accelerometer, anti-allergy strap.
Disadvantages: easily soiled screen, short vibration range on the alarm clock».

SAMSUNG Smart Charm User Reviews
Sergey Kovalenko: «Stylish, neatly done. I gave it to my wife for my birthday.

Ekaterina Khudobets: «A beautiful bracelet, "friendly" with the phone, also counts quite accurately. But! The sensor constantly clings to clothes and hair, after several charges the connector “cleared”, after which the sensor became very easy to remove and eventually got lost on the way to work (((For the same money, you can choose a tracker much more reliable ...
Pluses: cute.
Disadvantages: gets tangled in the hair, the sensor is not fixed securely».
Nataliya: «In the characteristics there is an alert about calls, messages, etc. I thought it would vibrate. Will not be. Only knows how to blink. Easily connects with Samsung, does not require additional. programs - displayed in the standard shealth.
The fastener to the strap is an unconvincing plastic. A couple of times I lightly caught on something, on the third (after 2.5 months of operation) the fasteners fell off. That's it, the bracelet can be thrown away».

From the review about Atrix ProFit Mono: “I bought such a device in order to somehow balance my physical activity with the diet. The problem of excess weight has existed for a long time, but at times it is noticeably aggravated and this winter I again gained almost seven completely extra pounds. There is simply no time to go to the gym, and I cannot find the desire to sweat on the simulators either. But to increase walking and use the stairs instead of the elevator is quite within my power. And here you cannot do without daily self-control. And this bracelet is specially designed for just such a task.
This is a fairly simple device that is equipped with a built-in accelerometer-gyroscope. All he can do is count the number of steps and, based on this, calculate the distance traveled and calories burned. Moreover, it can work autonomously, I usually do synchronization with a smartphone at the end of the day, in a calm evening home environment. And already here, on the big screen of the smartphone, you can summarize the day and draw conclusions. In short, in two weeks I have more than doubled the distance on foot and have already lost 1.5 extra pounds. The bracelet is comfortable, I felt it on my hand for no more than two or three days, then I got used to it and did not notice it at all. It has a relatively bright OLED screen and can show the time. The battery is tiny, but the gadget's own consumption is scanty - it can easily live five days without recharging. There is protection against splashes of water and dust, of course you cannot swim, but the rain will survive without problems. Compatible with any modern Android smartphone, the fundamental point is support for bluetooth version 4.0 or higher.
It is charged using a special cradle, and if you lose it or something happens to it, then it will be unrealistic to replace it. And I also realized that I really miss the heart rate monitor, but its absence at such a retail price cannot be called a disadvantage.».
