Actual buyer, not some capital letter screamer....
I purchased via a Facebook "ad" post, which is usually a sign of a scam, so I was VERY skeptical. This was NOT a scam, shipping was a little slow, but tracking was consistent with a shipment coming from overseas, and the watch arrived AOK... whew!
The watch "unboxed" as advertised, and looked well made, it WAS a bit tricky to get set up, took a couple tries to get it working, and you have to follow the instructions and not be in a hurry to play with your new toy! I eventually did a reset when I upgraded phones, and the second time was a breeze... I found all the phone/msg functions more annoying and a power drain, so left only the health and watch functions when I reset it, made battery life MUCH better (roughly 10 days vs. 3)! The watch only lets you upload one "optional" face, and the preloaded ones are just "meh", I found a good one from the selection and stuck with it - would be nice to be able to delete the ones I don't want and add more I might actually use. Having a watch for the first time in decades IS kinda handy...
The health monitoring app does have some annoying "pop-up" ads, but they are tolerable (except one seems to sometimes lock up the app, which restores after closing and re-opening.)
You have to download a little extra app for glucose monitoring, you do have to set up an account with an active email, I couldn't find a way to set weight measurements to US (vs. metric) - minor annoyances.
The instructions clearly state that the health readings are informative and NOT lab level measurements, same as most other health monitoring smart watches warn you about. The BP readout is "close" when compared to a consumer grade cuff - I get as much variation between left and right arm, so it's "good enough". O2 and heart rate seem to read reliably, and the glucose readings at least indicate roughly what's going on on an hourly basis... it has definitely helped me figure out what I can safely eat, and what I must avoid, not sure how "accurate" it is, but I've found it useful enough. Does it help me to be more health conscious? Yep. Is it encouraging me to eat better? Yep. Does it encourage me to exercise more? Yep. Does it tell time? Yep. Does it sync to phones? Yep, connected and sync'ed to two different ones for me.
It does what I expected it to do as a "smart watch", and I'd recommend it as long as you have reasonable expectations from a fairly reasonably priced device.
SO, all those "reviews" screaming in all caps that the watch is fake or a scam are NOT accurate. This is actually the first thing I bought on Facebook that turned out to be an actual functional product!! And THAT is why I'm posting a review. I bought the product, recieved it reasonably timely, and with some patience, have it working as expected. It's doing what I bought it for (remember... reasonable expectations for a consumer device that didn't have to jump through Federal government agency hoops and years of red tape....).
