" ... Great item, if I'm not reaching my goal by bedtime I'll start walking around till I do I hate not reaching my goals 😱😊 ... "

" ... Great item for my 9 year old who loves following her steps! ... "

" ... I was looking for a simple way to register my steps without getting one of the fancy complicated watches that cost an arm and a leg. ... "

" ... Love the vibrating reminders to walk and celebrate your goal victory over the day. ... "

" ... Basically a pretty good pedometer but you got to remember to swing those arms as it counts movement for steps & miles not by GPS coordinates. ... "

" ... I really like this tracker. ... "

" ... This tracker does well for tracking steps. ... I need something that was somewhat affordable to work with Step Bet. ... "

-14%

" ... The sleep mode is fairly accurate, even when you end up taking a quick nap. ... "

" ... Perfect for the person that just wants to track their steps, exercise, and sleep schedule! ... "

" ... Beyond that it is great to track my activity, between running and walking and boxing, I still get an overall activity level of what I've done, and I don't need the other features of the newer models, because i have apps for that. ... "

" ... I'm sometimes unsure how well the sleep tracking works. ... "

" ... I wear everyday, helped me to track activity and sleep ... "

" ... It gets the job done, counts my steps, sleep, logs food etc. ... "

" ... Love it mostly for tracking my sleep and calories in and out. ... "

" ... But it does not count steps properly, it just depends on the day how accurate it will be, and the sleep feature stops working from time to time. ... When the sleep monitoring does work, it seems to be fairly accurate. ... "
