I don’t use an app with this watch and it works just fine reporting information I’m interested in. I want to know how many daily steps I take, how much deep sleep I get, calories burned, my blood oxygen level, and heart rate.
I do wish it had more sports modes. I ride an recumbent elliptical, so I use the indoor bike sports mode to record time and calories. It may not be perfect, but gives me an accurate reading on my heart rate, which is most important for me. I haven’t worn it in the pool since I got it. I doubt it will record my steps; but again, it will record my heart rate. It’s waterproof, but don’t expect it to be a diver’s watch. When you get out of the pool or shower, dry it off, as well as your wrist, before putting it back on.
The battery life it amazing! I wore it basically 24/7, removing it for a few hours daily. I finally recharged it after 8 days and it still had battery life left when I started the charge.
What I like best about this tracker is that it works without binding it to an app.
This is a good basic tracker for those who want only a general knowledge of their fitness points. Don’t expect the world from it, because you won’t get it. In my opinion, it’s an amazing, inexpensive little watch/tracker. I have no idea how long it will last; but for now, I’m very satisfied with it.
October 16, 2023: I’ve now worn my watch numerous times while I walked and did aerobics in my pool. I found if I walked normally, it didn’t always record my steps. However, it did if I “jogged”. It always recorded my heart rate and never stopped working even when I unintentionally kept it under water for longer lengths of time. My workouts last 60-90 minutes. The watch still works like it did when it was new.
