Fitbit Surge Fitness Super Watch – Works well, but design flaw lets it down.

I previously had the fitbit flex but wanted to upgrade and this is pretty much perfect for me. The exercise tracking settings are great as are the general settings like step count, floors climbed, calories burned etc. I’ve found it to be mostly accurate at tracking all these things and in particular with the heart rate which is far more accurate than i expected. The fit of the watch itself is really nice, the buckle clasp feels really secure and it fits nicely on my wrist. I have a fairly small wrist but the watch is very comfortable and i like the size of it; i quite like how big it is and that its quite masculine but i can understand how maybe that’s not for everyone. The display is easy to read in all lighting levels, bright sunlight and at night when the back-light comes on when you touch the screen. The battery lasts about a week for me as i have the heart rate monitor constantly going but this doesn’t bother me and it only takes about and hour and half to two hrs to fully recharge. The silent alarms work brilliantly too and ensure i don’t wake up the rest of my housemates when i get up early to workout and also help me set discreet reminders for during the day to take medications etc. It lasted very well through vigorous workouts and the screen has no scratches but i have noticed that the strap has started to bubble slightly which is something others have mentioned too but at the moment its purely only a cosmetic fault so i’m not too concerned but will contact customer services if it gets worse as i would hate to lose this watch as i love it so much.

Struggled with this product to be honest. There are many pros, but there are some glaring cons. I bought this back in august 2016, and it was a really easy set up. Connected to my iphone with no problems. The app is great, very clear, nice easy way of tracking exercise, calories and steps. It looks really nice, and fit perfectly. The plastic strap is comfortable and feels strong. The screen is good and clear, but i had to turn off the ‘automatic light up’ function, because if i moved my arm in the night, i was suddenly woken up by a blue light filling my room (let’s just say, it felt like ‘close encounters of the first kind’). Overall, user friendly and great exercise tracker. Now for the con, and it is a large one.

Here are the specifications for the Fitbit Surge Fitness Super Watch:

  • Maximise training, maintain intensity and monitor calorie burn with automatic wrist-based heart rate monitoring
  • Surge automatically monitors how long and how well you sleep

Vodafone V-Kids Watch – Good idea, poor execution

Son loves his new smart watch. Well made, location accuracy not always the best but my iphone xs max is sometimes off too. The general location coupled with voice notification should be enough if we needed to local our son. Worthy purchase if you can buy it on offer like i did. Not to sure it’s worth the full rrp. Setup isn’t straightforward so be prepared to spend sometime setting it up. Once the product is all set up it really is a good piece of kit, it takes little time to go through the process with the vodafone sim but it is worth doing. It is easy to voice message and gives me peace of mind with the sos function built in, the games are a good feature to keep the little one entertained. The gps tracking works well with the vodafone signal and no problems so far. Love this, it’s a brilliant well designed product but the battery life is very disappointing. Esta muy bien, yo se lo he comprado a mis hijos y es casi exactoen la posición aunque podrian mejorar la interface e incluso ...

INIUPO Kids Smartwatch : A++++++

My 6 year old son loves this watch. Charging and adding music is so simple. The battery holds its charge brilliantly for days. The option to add 10 contacts is great as well. The strap is very soft and comfortable to wear. I bought the gifgaf 2g sim card and it works perfectly. Nought for my son and he absolutely like it. The strap is soft and the screen is very clear. Battery life is good but he keeps fiddling with watch so it drains the battery a bit early. Apart from that, happy with the purchase.
