Fitpolo Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate

I had a previous tracker that I purchased 5 years ago and had to get a new one as it battery wasn’t keeping it’s charge.

I searched here on Amazon for something that would be comfortable on my wrist and look nice as well as being functional.

I read the reviews, both five stars and one stars. I decided to buy it based on what most people shared, understanding that everyone has their personal preferences as to “accuracy” of steps.

I got my tracker as described, downloaded the right app for my watch and phone and it worked immediately.

Like any other app/software and tool, there is a learning curve – for me it was short. I just needed to play around with it, experiment with some of the settings and let it be. To be honest, it was pretty straightforward to set up and configure to my liking.

What I am very happy about is that it feels comfortable to wear even while I’m sleeping which is one of the key features I wanted in my new tracker. I also love that I can activate the Do Not Disturb function so that I can actually have a restful sleep. As far as I can tell, it’s pretty accurate in capturing how long I’ve slept.

As for the steps, it’s pretty good as far as I can tell. I don’t keep an exact track of my steps, as long as I’m moving. BTW, I love that it reminds me that it’s time to move, something that I tend to forget. I also love that it will automatically detect if I’m walking and ask me if I’m indoors or outdoors so it tracks specific activities.

In all, this is an EXCELLENT tracker for the price I got. In fact, it probably is equivalent to some of the big brand names out there for a lot less. There are many features that I’ve played with such as answering calls, reading text messages, calendar reminders, flashlight, stress level, breathing timer, as so much more.

It’s been 2 weeks and I’ve worn it every single day and there is nothing negative to say so far. I love my Fitpolo Fitness Tracker.

写真を信じちゃいけないと勉強になりました

Ya llevo dos semanas con el reloj, y la verdad es que estoy contenta. Es un eloj para una vida normal, no para un deportista consumado. La batería, en función del uso que le des y la configuración que le pongas, dura semana y media aprox (yo uso todos los dias las funciones relativas al deporte).

This smart watch is the perfect size, not too big or small, and does just what I want it to do, nothing more. I can choose the notifications I want and the watch face I want. It is comfortable and easy to read. The mobile app is user friendly. I highly recommend for those of you who don’t need the ability to text or talk on your watch, but want to be connected without looking at your phone all the time. The charge seems to be lasting satisfactorily, but depends on what notifications and features you have enabled. The price point is incredible.

UPDATE: 8/30/2023
I don’t think this smartwatch tracks my heart rate accurately. When I walk or od indoor exercise, I have noticed my heart rate drops and stays low sometimes – when I expect it to be above 130 bpm, it goes down to 80-90. This affects the calories burned, with the watch showing burning about 1 calory every minute when the heart rate is low.

I just received a new fitness tracker (a bit more expensive with great reviews by professionals) today and have been wearing both. I tried walking a little. My new one says my heart rate is 135 bpm while this one says 91 bpm. I will do a few more tests throughout the day when I need a break from work, but I already kind of knew that this is not reliable.

When I bought this smartwatch, I really wanted to monitor my heart rate and maybe count my steps. I wasn’t very invested in fitness. Only a little interested in adopting a healthy lifestyle. Now that I have been much more committed to it, I think it’s time to say goodbye to this smartwatch.

The watch no longer tracks my heart rate at all. The sleep tracking has been unreliable for at least a couple of weeks. The step counter is the only thing that seems to be working. This is a really cheap smartwatch, but it’s disappointing that it has declined in its performance so rapidly. I guess it’s just a typical Chinese product – works great for the first few weeks to get positive customer reviews, and stops working quickly.

UPDATE: 11/22/2022, From 5 Stars to 3 Stars
I have been using this watch every day since I got it. It was great initially, but I started to notice declines in performance. For example, it loses sleep, activity, and heart rate data randomly and sometimes it backfills itself but I won’t get the data fully back – there are still days of data missing that used to be recorded on the app. It no longer receives notifications for emails and calls (I don’t know about other notifications because I have only had calls and emails notifs on). I see that other reviewers were saying that the battery life was great, but mine usually lasts for 2-3 days. I wonder if it’s because of Bluetooth being always on to send the data to the app, but I’m not very impressed. At this price point, I guess this was expected.

Original Review:
I’ve been using this for a few days and I like it a lot. It was easy to set up with the app, and it charges quickly. I bought this to monitor my heart rate because I have somewhat frequent heart palpitations especially when I’m stressed out. In addition to seeing a cardiologist, I think the ability to monitor how my heart is doing is great. Sleep tracking seems accurate enough, too, which makes me feel more conscious of my overall health. Since this is my first smartwatch to own, so I don’t know if it’s really good in comparison to other smartwatches, but so far, I’m not disappointed and glad that I got this. It’s really nice to have a reminder on my wrist to take better care of my health!
