It has a multi-sport mode that includes walking, running, climbing, and cycling. The watch is even waterproof, with an IP67 rating, so you can take it swimming with you, or wear it in the shower, there's no reason to take it off.
Since this product also monitors your sleep, you can wear it to bed. It's comfortable enough that it won't get in the way of your sleeping so you can get a more accurate representation of your quality and duration of sleep.
Basic Features
Of course, its first and foremost a fitness tracker. It's going to keep track of your heart rate, your sleeping patterns, your calories burned, steps taken, and how far you've gone. These metrics are pretty standard when it comes to this type of product. Just because this particular one is designed for children doesn't mean that they can't take advantage of the same great benefits.
Advanced Features
If you have a smartphone connected through Bluetooth connection, you want to use the camera on your phone, this watch will come in handy. How so? You can control your camera right from your wrist. You can set up your cell phone on a tripod, for example, and use your watch to snap pictures. Of course, this is all depending on you having a phone that is connected to it through Bluetooth.
Another interesting think about this kid's tracker is that it comes with two different colored screens. All you have to do is press directly on the screen, and it can change the theme. You don't have to use the app or be connected to a phone to change the way the face of the watch looks.
No, this watch isn't full of advanced features, but it does offer some decent ones. It is, after all, designed for children.
Accuracy
You might not get the most accurate step count. Most children are very active and have a lot of energy. Sometimes the pedometer portion of this product will track jumping and bouncing around as taking a step. But it's just something to keep in mind when looking over your stats at the end of the day. Even if you were your child's isn't jumping and bouncing around having steps measured that aren't there, it still might be off by a little bit. Wearing a pedometer on your wrist isn't nearly as accurate is wearing one on your hip, but it does a decent job.
It's not just your step count that you want to make sure is correct. The rest of the stats are generally pretty spot-on. The heart rate monitor is decent and comes reasonably close it's readings. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of information on how accurate the blood pressure is, so it is something that you might want to keep note of. The sleep tracking seems pretty good. It gives you a decent representation of how long you slept and the quality of the sleep that you got. Of course, that is assuming that you wear the tracker all night.
Connectivity
The smartwatch connects to your smartphone through a Bluetooth connection, which is standard for products like these. After you download the app, you'll have to create an account, and then you can go through the steps of setting up your device. It's pretty easy to do, and you'll get step by step directions through the application on your phone. Customers have commented that getting it to connect and sync to your cell phone it's super easy, it's barely an inconvenience. After you get the initial connection to your phone, sinking the data throughout the day is even easier. As long as your phone is within range and the Bluetooth is on, you shouldn't have to do much else.
Unlike some of the other name brand fitness trackers, this one isn't compatible with other fitness apps or devices that you might have. If you're planning on using this in conjunction with other products you might want to consider something different, as it will not connect to other devices.
Durability
Yes, there are probably some more durable options on the market, but that doesn't mean that this one doesn't work just fine. It has a very affordable price tag, which can scare some people off assuming that means it is poor quality. However, customers can agree that even though it is a low price, it's not necessarily a cheap product.
Style
The thin and lightweight design gives it a comfortable feel with a sleek look that can fit in just about anywhere. Whether they're heading to school or playing at the park this watch will look great.
Comfort
The band is soft and flexible, so it's not going to deter your movements at all. There should be no problems with the band rubbing uncomfortably along your skin, causing sores or blisters. This isn't something that customers have complained about or experienced, which is always an added bonus.
Overall, this product is exceptionally comfortable, and most kids don't mind wearing it.
Apps
Unfortunately, this product can't be used with other fitness apps. Unlike the more popular brand pedometers, you can't link it to healthy living apps or running apps. That doesn't seem to be a problem for most consumers, mainly because they're using it for their children, but it's important to note, but you have to use this app and not any other ones.
Battery Life
Not only does the watch have a good battery life, but consumers also love that the watch itself is the charger. There's no need to worry about misplacing a cord or forgetting it at home, as long as you have the watch on you, you can charge it. The band comes off, and there's a USB connection that you just plugin and it charges. It is as easy as that.
Bottom Line
You can take advantage of all the great features that you get with an adult-sized to tracker. It's going to record your steps, calories, distance, heart rate, and sleep. But wait there's more! This one goes above and beyond because it can monitor your blood pressure as well as your blood oxygen saturation. These aren't everyday things that are observed with a wristband, so it's nice to know you have that option.
Overall, it seems to be a great product. Most consumers love it, and kids enjoy it. It's fun to have something on their wrist to try to help them stay active and have fun.
