Hello great video very informative of all the steps and options and durability. I just have one question what is the Bluetooth distance from the watch and your phone or have you tested?
I've had that watch on March 15th, then returned it on April 4th. The watch is great for counting steps, blood pressure, and how big the screen it. But I had to return it because the personal watch faces flickers, the watch band is uncomfortable on my wrist, and whenever I use the app to synchronize the steps, blood pressure, sleep hours, etc., it drains out my iPhone's battery health maximum capacity. Going back to the Apple Watch and the iPhone's battery health maximum capacity stayed the same.
hmm ive not had those issue at all, but glad you found the solution that works for you. I chose this watch bc the apple watch is fragile, and my lifestyle is not. I was worried it would not stand up to getting banged around, dropped, wet, etc.
I do not believe so. I’m not sure what happened to your screen, as the screens are pretty tough… I’ve smacked it with metal before. I don’t think they sell replacement screen.
Wallpapers are part of the watch, so no. Calls and text, standard messaging rates apply per your carrier (is that what you are asking)? If your make a call from your watch , it’s still calling through your phone (the watch is just the external Bluetooth mic), so your phone is still making call and getting charge as it would if you make from your phone. You cannot send text from the watch, only receive and view them
@j2fit I would be happy if their warranty was longer than 30days. Pretty much industry standard is 1 year manufacturers warranty. As I don't think the sensors are as accurate as they should be I get different reading from my galaxy 4 watch
Makes sense. I haven’t had any issues with mine and it’s been many months, I use it every single day, and never take it off. As far as the accuracy on the sensors, I don’t notice it being off too much and I get the data I need. It’s also important to note that these watches are half the price of the galaxy four watch, so you have to adjust some expectations. If spot on accuracy for sensors, and GPS is what you need, then you may need to invest in something a little more expensive, but for my overall fitness and lifestyle needs the operating systems on this watch are perfect.
Yes. They sent me the watch and raptor to give my honest review. I do reviews on my channel a decent amount, and don’t hold back my opinion on things. Monetization comes by affiliate sales. I only stand behind products / gear I use and wear myself.
Do Bluetooth headphones work with the watch as well? Say I was listening to music, can I change songs from the watch? When I answer a call and have a headphone in, can I answer from the watch and have audio go to my headphones? Just curious of that functionality, great to the point video, looks like an awesome watch!
There are more people giving this company terrible reviews than there are good. Was interested at first but after reading the comment section of a few videos about these watches I’ll probably check out the 25 dollar Temu version.
Do what you want. Also keep in mind most people who leave reviews often leave negative ones. It’s much easier to hate on a product than to love it and just move on with your life. But again, do what you want!
Not sure what you mean by “always on” feature. And yes. You can make and receive calls. Can only receive text on it (can’t text back from watch, same thing as the raptor)
*SCAM - DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY* This watch is very poorly made. I actually received a completely different designed watch than what the photos on their website showed. Their customer service is horrible, next to impossible to get a return. They publish 30 days returns, but it is actually 3 days.
hmm, i have personally talked with the team, and they have been pretty responsive to all requests. I am sorry this happened to you. Also, this message posted 3x also sounds kinda.... scammy/spammy ?
Please do not buy these watches. They are tough everything else is crap. Software is lagging. Got mine wet in a three foot pool two weeks after I got it and it ruined the screen. They did offered a replacement without hesitation and after 3 weeks of waiting for a replacement I requested a refund. …Bravo XL.
I have two of these watches and yes they appear to be manufactured with great quantity. But unfortunately they do break. My watch stopped functioning after about 6 month of wear. I was surprised because I babied this watch. Someone should make a video on how to repair them if this is possible. If not then it make for an attractive paper weight
I've had two Raptors for less than 4 months and they are both black screens. The first one I let the battery totally discharge because of overseas travel and I forgot the special cord. It never recovered. I got a replacement for $55 from costumer service. I've had that one for 3 month and is got a black screen after wearing it in the hot sun 103 deg. I'm tired of fiddling with the watch. I'll never recommend an Alpha Gear watch to anyone. Pretty sensitive programming. Rugged but the electronics suck.
This company is shit. The watches are cheap Chinese-made crap that they mark up whenever they aren't trying to "Sell" them. I emailed them the day I got it to return it. After a week went by, I emailed them again. They then told me they couldn't help me because they have a 3 -day return policy... Who the hell has a 3-day return policy? That's standing behind your product.
This watch is not great for the swimming pool. I had to get a new one because the screen started to haze down the middle so be mindful of that. it's water resistant not water proof. kinda bummed me out. now i'm looking for a new watch to hang out in the pool.
The watch doesn’t claim to be waterproof. It carries a IP67 water resistant rating, which is defined as depths up to 3 ft for 30 minutes or less…. So having out in a pool all the time would not work well.
The watch will measure and collect all the data. There’s a third-party app that you can use on your phone to access all that data, or you can view the data directly on your watch face.

The review is great but I bought (2)Bravo watches and they both quit working days after the “30 day” warranty.
That's what I'm afraid of. Keep seeing comments about the watch dying only couple of days of 30 day warranty & they take a week to reply to their customers 😑 they need to up their warranty to 6 months to 8

The review is great but I 10:05 bought (2)Bravo watches and they both quit working days after the “30 day” warranty.
Had a problem on Jan. 26, 2024, watch went blank after a month & wouldn't power up even after charging. Contacted Customer Service, recieved a reply 4 days later. Followed their instructions & it came back to life. While there are a lot of bad reviews, my experience good. Hopefully more videos will be posted. More importantly I hope that I will get at least a couple of years service out of the watch. ALPHAGEAR! You all need to offer more than a 30 day warranty if you want customers to take you serious!!! Thanks for the assistance & I hope the product continues to improve along with the CS...keep up the good service.
Hello great video very informative of all the steps and options and durability. I just have one question what is the Bluetooth distance from the watch and your phone or have you tested?
Is there a way to turn off your calls immediately going to the watch without turning off all notifications?
In the app you can toggle what you want to connect and what you don’t want to
@@j2fit ok cool. Might have to reset it and do that over.

Yw my Friend. Great video. Can't wait to get it. Love❤️❤️❤️❤️ your fitness also bro.
Thanks so much
Do they sell “replacement screen”? I need one and can’t find anywhere to purchase a replacement
I do not believe so. I’m not sure what happened to your screen, as the screens are pretty tough… I’ve smacked it with metal before. I don’t think they sell replacement screen.
My watch is not working..Where is the best place repairing center?
I just wish there were 3rd- party band options.
Great video. I subscribe to your channel. Fantastic watch.
Thanks for the sub! And thanks for watching!
Can you go on a run with without 2:30 having to carry your phone?
No it’s connect to phone for Bluetooth, so need to have that near
Can you go on a run with without having to carry your phone?
No
How can I set the weather?
Connect to your phone and sync location
Is there a lock security feature?
Like a pin to unlock, no, however you can put it on screen lock if you don’t want it to be changing screens as you are doing active things
Is there an extra cost for wallpapers, calls, texts, ect??
Wallpapers are part of the watch, so no. Calls and text, standard messaging rates apply per your carrier (is that what you are asking)? If your make a call from your watch , it’s still calling through your phone (the watch is just the external Bluetooth mic), so your phone is still making call and getting charge as it would if you make from your phone.

@@j2fit excellent ty!!!!
This is a great review not sponsored by them. Only thing is terrible warranty and customer service sucks.
What issues have you had with watch that you need to deal w the warranty / customer service?
@j2fit I would be happy if their warranty was longer than 30days. Pretty much industry standard is 1 year manufacturers warranty. As I don't think the sensors are as accurate as they should be I get different reading from my galaxy 4 watch

So you are being sponsored by them to do this review
Yes. They sent me the watch and raptor to give my honest review. I do reviews on my channel a decent amount, and don’t hold back my opinion on things. Monetization comes by affiliate sales. I only stand behind products / gear I use and wear myself.
can it show your location in mgrs/lat long?
I’m not sure TBH
Do Bluetooth headphones work with the watch as well? Say I was listening to music, can I change songs from the watch? When I answer a call and have a headphone in, can I answer from the watch and have audio go to my headphones? Just curious of that functionality, great to the point video, looks like an awesome watch!
Yes to music and switching songs. Not to using headphones on calls (however I don’t think Apple Watch can do that either)
Too bad, I was really looking forward to getting this watch. Nice overall review, but the comments here are very telling.
There are more people giving this company terrible reviews than there are good. Was interested at first but after reading the comment section of a few videos about these watches I’ll probably check out the 25 dollar Temu version.
Do what you want. Also keep in mind most people who leave reviews often leave negative ones. It’s much easier to hate on a product than to love it and just move on with your life. But again, do what you want!
Just received mine and was happy with the interface and the price point compared to others. Bought two more for my dad and son
Cab you text on it or gps
Nice watch
Sure is
It doesn’t have the always on feature. Also I cannot respond to text. I can only respond.
Not sure what you mean by “always on” feature. And yes. You can make and receive calls. Can only receive text on it (can’t text back from watch, same thing as the raptor)
Is there a way to have your not go directly to the watch?
@@danieldiskin6972 have you what not to directly to watch?
@@j2fit sorry meant phone calls.
@@danieldiskin6972 got
It
You should be able to go into app and toggle what your want to connect (notifications).

@@j2fit Guy is just spamming, he probably broke the watch or doesn't know how to use it. Either that or he bought a copy cat on Alibabba, lol.

Thank you for that my man I just purchased one myself and I can't wait to receive it in the mail Thank you for the perfect review on this watch.
Glad I could help! Let me know if have any questions. I love my Bravo XL! Thanks for the feedback too 💪

No mention of battery performance
Apologies. Not sure how I missed that part, but I can honestly say I haven’t charged it in weeks. Battery is a non-issue for me.
Watch is trash.
I have an iPhone and I’ve turned all of the notifications on but still not receiving text messages notifications. Any suggestions?
This company is shit. The watches are cheap Chinese-made crap that they mark up whenever they aren't trying to "Sell" them. I emailed them the day I got it to return it.

I just reached out to my contact there, stay tuned. That shouldn’t happen and I’m sure there is an explanation

I want to buy one. Which one would you recommend between Bravo XL and the RAPTOR PRO WATCH? I want a big face watch.
I prefer the bravo XL. It’s larger face, can make calls, and slightly meatier (not by much though)
Can you wear the watch on its own and measure all the stats, excluding phone calls & messages.
The watch will measure and collect all the data. There’s a third-party app that you can use on your phone to access all that data, or you can view the data directly on your watch face.
The review is great but I bought (2)Bravo watches and they both quit working days after the “30 day” warranty.
Sorry to hear that. Connect w @alphagearUS. They have been responsive to comments in my other review as well (the alpha watch)

Glad they were able to get your support done asap, thanks for sharing!
Having the same issue with my Bravo now. What were the instructions they gave you that got it to work again if you don't mind me asking?
4 days to respond is not what I would consider good but I am glad to hear they got back to you.
Does it take your Blood Pressure
I believe this model does, yes.
Does the unit support Apple apps?
Not all I’m sure, but I have Apple phone and have no issues. All major social media, etc
Got mine , it's sucks, don't do it
You figure out a way to make your calls not go directly to the watch?
You go into app and toggle that setting. It’s very easy
Want to elaborate and give helpful feedback/reasoning?
Explain? Ive been thinking about buying
