ANCwearANCwear Smart Watch, 1.69" Touch Screen Fitness Watch with Pedometer, Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Monitor, IP68 Waterproof Smartwatch for Men Women, Compatible Android iPhone Smartphone (Black)

Update:The manufacturer contacted me after my post. They offered to send me an upgraded version of the watch.I am happy to report that the upgraded version worked a lot better, regarding HR, notifications and others.It is a lot faster in reading Blood Pressures and measures the HR continuously.I am upgrading the rating based on their responsive customer service. Communications from the manufacturer was quick and professional.I wanted to like this watch, but there are some problems or features not working well.Pros:1. The watch is fairly light, no issue in wearing all day.2. Sleep tracking seems to work well.3. Battery lasts 7+ days. I charged the watch 7.5 days ago, and it now shows a "red" battery status.4. Step counter works fine, though I can't verify how accurate that is. The counter doesn't match my other watch, nor to my phone. I think it is "more genersous", but I did test that swinging my arm would not increase the counter.5. Can set watch to measure Heart Rate every hour.6. Like the history charts of Heart Rate, Blook Pressure and sleep.Cons:1. Charging cable magnet is weak. After I connected to the watch, I laid them down with the watch face up. And 30 minutes later, found it not charging, as the cable fell out from the watch.2. When it is charging, you can't use the watch. It only shows the charging face, no clock, and won't respond to any touches.3. The display is good for indoors, but a bit hard to see under the sun.4. Heart Rate measurement accuracy is somewhat questionable. Sometimes seem okay, but other times completely wrong. I tested it with result from a blood pressure machine, as well as manually checking my pulse against the clock.5. Blood Pressure is also questionable (though I do like its convenience to take a reading).6. SMS message alert/notification does not work. There is no option to select "Messages by Google" for alerts/notifications.7. Whatsapp message alert/notification works great in the first 2 days. Then it stopped working. I tried restart the watch, disconnect and re-connect the watch to the phone. It is still not working.8. When using the watch to start a sport, the watch became inoperable for anything else. You don't get the time (what's the point of a watch if you can see the time?). You can't request it to take a Heart Rate measure. I wanted to measure my Heart Rate while I was running, but can't do.9. The weather display is strange. I have no idea what city or location is it showing. It definitely doesn't match our local weather, nor from the phone. For example, when local temperature was 55F, watch shows 63F. When local temperature is 68F, it shows 51F. !!??6. The band is a bit long for me, kind of gets in the way sometimes. And it can easily come out from the "catcher".7. Remote Selfie only works with its own app, doesn't work with the phone's camera app.

I purchased this watch to replace an older watch that broke (display is flaky). Overall, I'm pleased with this watch. The default watch face is easy to read and displays all the important data (time, date, day, distance, calories). The calories seems to agree fairly closely with my previous watch, so I'm pleased I can easily transition from the old to the new. The BP, unfortunately, is off by a fair amount compared to my Omron home BP meter. I don't think the SPO2 is accurate either, as it shows 98% with the watch sitting on the counter (not on my arm). Near as I can tell, the heart rate reading is reasonably close. I haven't used the sleep tracking functionality, so I can't comment on that. I've only had the watch for 2 days, so I can't say for sure about the battery life. However, the battery "meter" is still showing full charge after 2 days, so I assume that it will go for 7+ days on a single charge.

Mobile app is slow,don't keep up with watch.have to charge it every week. But works great for the price

Purchased this watch as a replacement for a Fitbit, husband loves this watch, it's easy to read and holds a charge for many days. If ever need to replace watch, will purchase one just like this if I'm not able to get this watch

I have 5 other Smart Watches. All came with the watch band already on. This one didn't. When you are a senior citizen, with not the best eyesight, trying to see the tiny hole on a black watch head, to attach the watch band, not the easiest thing to do! Had I known that I would have to attach the watch band myself, I would not of purchased this Smart Watch. Why the seller couldn't do this themselves, not very customer friendly, in my opinion!That being said, this Smart Watch looks nicer online, and kind of cheap looking in person, but for less than $30, it's ok for casual, everyday.The amount of watch faces offered is ok. Since I have other Smart Watches, downloading the app for this Smart Watch was easy for me, as was adjusting the settings. I don't like that the app needed for this Smart Watch wants access to your entire phone, a total invasion of privacy, and totally unnecessary for any Smart Watch, in my opinion!

The best I got to use it works for the price 😀

I really liked this watch for the first few months eventhough I questioned the accuracy. Blood pressure reading is way off. The text and phone notifications stopped working after 6 months. I recently purchased a better Smart watch and always thought the step count on the one in question was way off. Sure enough, the one I'm reviewing counts double the steps of the better one. I wondered how I was getting 20k steps on a regular basis.

I was looking for a replacement for my old smart/fit watch which died. I looked at a variety of android watches (apple watches are way too expensive), and settled on this one. It promised a number of nice features, such as changeable watch faces, health tracking, step tracking, and a host of other neat features. But the most alluring characteristic was the promised battery life. I am always skeptical when a device maker promises long battery life (which I define as longer than 12 hours without having to charge it). This watch's battery literally goes for several (more than 4) days without a charge, and it maintains accuracy. And so far It has not shut off on me when the battery indicator showed 0%. The recharge is a bit slow, at about 2 hours, so I charge it overnight when needed. I have found that turning it off overnight, since I do not wear it while sleeping, saves the battery power. I suggest the larger size screen, as it is more readable, and the features are accessed more easliy.

The watch works fine, really good multifunctional design. Only complaint is with the wrist strap. This has caused a really bad skin reaction, meaning that I couldn't wear the watch for ten days while my wrist sores went away. I was not wearing the strap tight at all. When I started wearing it again, within 48 hours new sores would appear. So I has to stop wearing the watch all together. 🤧😪

Bought as a replacement to one I forgot to remove when in an MRI. Love it to bits as is so easy to use and does a superb job at giving e loads of info for a fraction of the price of the big name brand counterparts.

Looks nice, great for the discounted price even though didn't answer calls or messages

This would get a glowing report, it is everything advertised- all the features you'd hope for software wise, waterproof, you name it. However, after just a month of wear and tear the housing has cracked and made it impossible to put both straps on. There is also the minor issue of the desynchronization between watch and phone- the Bluetooth connection drops if theyre ever apart!

Had problems charging as instructions not good for me. Worked it out eventually. Sent email to supplier (in China) they replied next day. Good watch but BP readings inaccurate.
