FITVII Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate Monitor

I bought this to replace another ‘step counter’ that looked like a Fitbit which died after only 3 months of use – this was even less money – that said, I have had this one for about a week – what I love is there are tons of options to update the display (I made mine like a regular watch), it seems also all the tracking of BP, steps, sleep etc. are pretty accurate.
Some reviews mentioned difficulty getting it totally set up, my suggestion is –
1. make sure it’s charged up first
2. once charged, swipe the screen, right and look for the scan sign (see circled pic)
3. once you have the QR up, link to your phone
This will be the easiest method –

there are also YouTube videos available.

SO far – SO good!

LIKES: this watch is feature rich! It is attractive, AND inexpensive! It is so much fun to play with, I am keeping it, even though it does not deliver sufficiently on the critical features that moved me to buy it!
DISLIKES/DISAPPOINTMENTS : If this watch delivered on expectations set in the product description, I would give it 10 Stars if possible! However, Blood Pressure: very inaccurate, Pulse/OXY: I need to press watch against my wrist in order to get a reasonably accurate reading. Also, the reading does not stabilize, i.e.: it reaches the correct reading, then begins to fall to a low and inaccurate reading. Reading does not stabilize. Heart related tracking of blood pressure, pulse highs and lows, pulse/oxy… are not accurate and reliable! Weather: does not track with local temp and conditions. It is not reflecting/picking up on weather reported on my phone. The weather reporting is not a big deal to me, the health monitoring, however, is a big deal! The maker of this watch should state in their product description: This is a Sports Watch, NOT a Medical Grade Device! You should not rely on this device for Medically reliable data!

I purchased this watch in February 2023. I wore it every day, except at night. Charge lasts for a few days. Easy to read. Comfortable to wear. App was beneficial…used it daily for readings. It is Not accurate enough for medical use, but it gave a good guideline. I would rate it higher, however, it stopped working last week. No screen. Unable to charge. It is DEAD. I expected it to last me AT LEAST a year, but it fell short. Very disappointed.

I am partially disabled and wanted an accurate step counter with other health measuring aspects of my daily life to help me measure my activity and health improvements especially performing recommended steps per day for recovery and improved mobility in my future. This device was reviewed and rated highly for step accuracy but only measures about half of my steps, even when counted manually or by my older device. . When I contacted the devices support, I was told I have to be vigorously waving my arms and hands, impossible when I am using a cane, carrying something in one or both arms or using my walker. So very disappointing and missed my return window hoping it would ‘learn’ my stride like one previous device I have used. Watch face selections also are not as informative as other devices but still very good. I will update my review if and when I can continuously wave my arms and hands, and the device accurately counts my steps, Other measurements are not constant like some more expensive devices but very helpful and seemingly accurate, like sleep, heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen. Also accurately shows temperature (weather) which is very helpful for planning activities outdoors. Finally, customer service actually gave me a partial refund for my experience which is really quite unusual and indicates a reputable merchant.
