At first I thought it was because watch was low in battery but that’s not the case ### 4/5 — Amazing *2026-07-27, version 1.2.2* I got on the app and it was all just so great to me it asked me questions that I wouldn’t even know about asking ### 4/5 — Affordable and is exactly what I wanted! *2026-06-07, version 1.2.2* Had my first one for 3 years. This is my second one. Live it! ### 3/5 — Wish it was better *2026-06-02, version 1.2.2* I am a senior woman looking for something to track my steps and sleep so I chose this watch. Unfortunately it doesn’t always track my sleep. It will go a week and not record anything. Occasionally it fails to track my steps. Very frustrating. Think it’s time for an upgrade. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t connect *2026-03-31, version 1.2.2* I have this for about 2years works great until I need to charge the band if I charge during the day all works fine If I charge at night the. Next day it doesn’t work. I have disconnected the site and reinstalled twice nut today it doesn’t seem to connect to the band. I guess I got my money’s worth but now need to shop for something new ### 2/5 — Fallas en la nueva actualización *2026-01-21, version 1.2.2* No sirve la nueva actualización ya no tengo notificaciones de nada, el reloj se desconfiguro, pésimo ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-01-02, version 1.2.2* I’ve had this one for two years. It won’t take me to my heart rate at all for blood pressure or H2O. It rarely works when I wear it and I’m sleeping maybe one and 10 it no longer vibrates. I’d say as far as longevity this watch is probably a -5. ### 2/5 — Reset *2025-12-25, version 1.2.2* I had to do a reset on the watch. It will not reconnect back to my Bluetooth. It is no longer working and isn’t any good to me. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and it did work until reset. What can be done to fix this problem? ### 2/5 — Problems *2025-11-09, version 1.2.2* Since I got the watch 3 years ago it has messed up. It resets itself, you have to replace the charging cable. Now the charge doesn’t even last 4 hours and that is with everything off. I don’t use it for anything except time and an alarm. Be aware it starts acting up right after the warranty expires. ### 4/5 — Was brilliant *2025-10-28, version 1.2.2* It’s been brilliant until clocks went back. Won’t do anything at all. Even time is wrong ### 3/5 — Problema con registro de sueño *2025-10-27, version 1.2.2* Lleva 5 días que no registra el ciclo de sueño, lo demás, bien ### 3/5 — Works O.K. *2025-10-19, version 1.2.2* In general, the features work, but the sleep monitoring isn’t very accurate. It doesn’t record the whole night and it says you’re asleep when you’re awake and visa versa. Fitbit is much more reliable. Amazingly enough though, the blood pressure is very accurate. Overall, it is a good product and well worth the value. ### 3/5 — Works when it wants to *2025-09-10, version 1.2.2* I’ve had this watch for several years now and it worked pretty well , here recently it works when it wants to , the touch features don’t work if you touch them sometimes or none at all .. ### 1/5 — Will not connect with watch *2025-08-30, version 1.2.2* Spent weeks trying to get it to connect still can’t get it to do it, fix it ### 1/5 — No sirve para iPhone *2025-08-27, version 1.2.2* No se conecta con la app de salud de iPhone, solo se queda sin enlace ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Failure to connect *2026-02-04, version 1.2.2* If you disconnect it from your Bluetooth it won’t reconnect. It keeps saying it it can’t be found because it’s not turned on. ### 1/5 — Disconnects all the time *2026-01-19, version 1.2.2* Im glad it was only 20$ - it doesnt stay charged, doesnt stay connected, wont do anything when i try to add weather, does not work with my music, horrible product ### 1/5 — Mala conexión. *2026-01-02, version 1.2.2* Ya no se puede vincular al teléfono. Lástima que durará tan poco. Además las toma de presión y la oxigenación no corresponden a lo real. Ya ni de reloj se puede usar. ### 1/5 — Sueño *2025-12-08, version 1.2.2* No se sincronizan mis horas de sueño con lo que aparece en la app del móvil cuenta solo unas determinadas horas de sueño en un horario que no sé cómo modificar de 22 a 7 pero si duermes fuera de ese horario no te lo contabiliza por lo tanto los datos no son fiables! ### 1/5 — Susan szklarski 12/6/2025 *2025-12-06, version 1.2.2* First watch screen went black. No good. On above date bought 2nd watch. 3yrs later and the App has to be open constantly thru Bluetooth and use cellular went go out to work. Uses your data up. Runs battery down. Need not have open continuously. ### 1/5 — 通知が来ない *2025-11-17, version 1.2.2* LINEの通知が来なくなった アプリを切っても接続できていたものが今ではアプリをきると同期が切れるようになってしまった ### 1/5 — Ya no funciona *2025-10-07, version 1.2.2* No sirve muy mal. ### 1/5 — No sirve *2025-09-28, version 1.2.2* No funciona no vincula ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync to Apple health *2025-09-27, version 1.2.2* Only purchased to track steps and have activity data sync to the apple health app. I’ve restarted both my phone and the watch. I’ve reset and in doing so, lost my data. I’ve scoured and done everything google says to resolve the issue and it’s been frustrating. Will be returning this product as it can’t perform the one task I need it to. ### 1/5 — No se puede configurar *2025-09-18, version 1.2.2* No puedo ni configurar la hora ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The watch *2026-07-25, version 1.2.2* It’s the one!!!! ### 5/5 — Connecting watchs *2026-07-19, version 1.2.2* Thank you for making this app! I very much appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Hero Band - basic but excellent! *2026-02-25, version 1.2.2* Been using the Hero Band watch for over a year while comparing it to the Fitbit 5. More ‘bells & whistles’ with the FB5, like automatic heart rate and Sp02 while the Hero requires manual press, but stats are identical. Plus, the Hero has blood pressure check and excellent battery life. It all depends on what you need in a tracker, but the Hero Band watch holds its own against the other high priced brands. ### 5/5 — Great Smart Watch *2025-09-23, version 1.2.2* I love this watch. It does everything you could want or need, with a price tag that lets you brag. I have three different color tones for myself and have bought a bunch for friends and family. My first one is almost five years in service and doing great. This was definitely a purchase I could feel good about. ### 5/5 — Does a great job *2025-09-05, version 1.2.2* Can’t beat its function for the price & it’s durable, hate to admit.. had mine for 3 yrs+ now and it’s accurate plus it works with my apps .. love it ### 5/5 — Sleep *2025-08-03, version 1.2.2* How do I make hair bands to do my sleeping? I don’t know 80 years old. Please tell me how to do this cause I wanna know how many hours I sleep thank you. ### 5/5 — Heel tevreden *2025-07-10, version 1.2.2* Ben er heel tevreden van. Geen minpuntje ### 5/5 — Atualização *2025-06-13, version 1.2.2* Gosto do relógio mas poderia fazer mais atualizações diferente e inovadoras ### 5/5 — Bueno *2025-05-30, version 1.2.2* Muy útil, lo tengo desde hace un año y lo dejé de usar, se me des configuró y solo leyendo el manual lo volví a configurar con el código ### 5/5 — Boooo *2025-04-25, version 1.2.2* Horrible --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
