Baffled by how rubbish these are. Probably only useful thing is the telling the time.

Where do I start with this thing? 


Firstly, it is NOT  a "smart watch" as it claims to be, it is simply a pedometer, which it also claims to be, which is a start I suppose. 


When I received these watches (I bought them in 2 colours, pink and black), I spent 5 minutes laughing at the Chinglish on the boxes. My favourite part was "Titness tracker" rather than "Fitness tracker". They also DO NOT come in the box shown in the listing images, they come in an ugly box with no protection for the watches at all, which were also dirty with sellotape residue on them, not to mention the spelling mistake and terrible sentences.


Secondly, I pressed the button on both of the watches to see that it had been counting steps in transit, which was funny. What was even funnier was the fact that they both said different things, yet they were box taped together so did the exact same journey! One said 9.7 miles and the other 3.6 miles, that straight away just proves how crap these are! It should not have been counting steps to begin with, it should have been OFF and factory reset. 


The watches themselves are terrible quality, it is just very very cheap plastic, the thinnest rubber band for a strap and a rubbish screen. The buttons only work when they feel like it, and the screen DOES NOT light up like the listing images show! It has no backlight to light up like that! It also doesn't show the little logos by the clock, the alarm clock, steps etc, it has nothing there!


Obviously black is black, but the pink is WAY off the colouring on the listing images. I understand different monitors show different colours etc etc, but it is too WAY off to be correct.


I can also see these breaking after 1 accidental drop or whack against something. Even pressing on the screen creates a cracking noise, and no doubt I could snap it with one hand if I tried.


If you use a proper pedometer on your waistband, then that actually can be A LOT more accurate than even a Fitbit, but having a biomonitor on your WRIST is next to useless as it measures a step with movement, it CANNOT track your steps from your wrist. 


I wanted to talk you through all the hilarious things from the manual, but then I'd just be typing the whole thing out for you, so I've picked out my favourite comment from it:
There are some small images that are supposed to be of the screen on the watch, that show your distance in "KM" and "MILE", but the writing underneath says: 
"Switching from meter to inch, press MODE to choose meter or inch" yes because we all measure our walking distance in inches?

Oh and by the way, if you want to sound like a really annoying broken cat bell, then buy this.
