did you test the blood pressure monitor against a real blood pressure measuring machine? Because I have tried two other cheap smartwatches that SAY they measure blood pressure but they produced completely random results!
This one was actually really close. I visit an allergist office once per month who take my blood pressure and it is surprisingly close from when they take it to when I test it a few minutes later or earlier.
SMS messages work fine but those are the only notifications I've tested so far. I tend to turn all other alerts and notifications off. In general, BLE range is ~10-15' or 3-4m and this device seems no different.
Blood pressure can't be good because you need pumping cussion to pump the wrist more than your actual bp. Releasing the cussion pressure you see the difference which is your actual pressure. All bp meters in the world work that way. This small unexpensive watch will be world game changer which is not. And seeing your bp records, you have serious heart bp problems if changes through the day are so.
Hi, after an aortic dissection with an high bloodpressure attack, I'm looking for a smart watch (not Apple) to keep track of my bp and bpm and I think I found the perfect watch. Thanks for the review.
NO! Even the gold anodized strap Amazon puts on the same FITVII listing and describes it as "for the FITVII" smartwatch does not fit! It is too narrow and the pins with the band are two short. You can't even attach it with the metal pins that come with original band because the original pins have a "L" shaped tab that lock them into the original band. So now I have a useless watch and a gold band that does not fit the watch. DOUBLE RIP OFF
Synch with your phone to update the time. It gets the time from your phone. Also, charging cable comes with it that attaches to the back of the watch magnetically.
For me it is fairly close to the results I get at the do-it-yourself blood pressure booths at pharmacies and big box stores. Others have reported inaccurate results. I don't know this for sure, but I hypothesize it has to do with body fat. My arms and wrists are pretty skinny without much body fat. Of course, this should not be used as a medical device as I don't believe it has been approved by the FDA, so it is not any sort of replacement for an actual blood pressure test in a doctor's office.
@@dplace If Fitbit/Google want to send me a review unit I'll be happy to do a fair and honest review. Until then I can only call them as I see them. In the interest of full disclosure, I've since given this tracker to my wife and I currently have been wearing the MorePro ECG (EKG) unit for months. In my opinion it does the best job of sleep tracking with HRV readings and also delivers pulse ox and EKG which is an unbeatable combination of features for less than $50. In my opinion, any device that costs more than $149 ought to provide some incredible features that can't be found anywhere else. Yes, I wish these devices also had GPS, but when I need GPS I put on the Amazfit Bip which is also a solid value with incredible battery life. The Bip, though, doesn't provide HRV, blood pressure or EKG, so I'm left wearing the MorePro almost all of the time, the Bip when I'm doing outdoor activities and need GPS or the Atlas Wearables II when I'm in the gym. Find me a device that does everything these 3 devices can do and I'll pay up for it. I've been looking for it and waiting for it for years. davethekayaker.com/2019/11/06/ideal-fitness-tracker-features/

@@DaveTheKayaker How much of a difference? 5 or 10
How to sync this watch to my iphone?? Date time etc??
How long can you set the display to stay on?
I have the Fit VII but my box is the same but the picture is different. I did not get instructions.
Thanks Dave. Can you share any of the data from the app on phone? If you could recommend ANY ONE tracker, similar to this, what would it be?
I personally like this one the most: th-cam.com/video/rXrYQq-f9vc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9de4dE6tcCsm15Aq
Hello. How good is it with the notification? And how far can you go without disconnecting? Thank you!
SMS messages work fine but those are the only notifications I've tested so far. I tend to turn all other alerts and notifications off. In general, BLE range is ~10-15' or 3-4m and this device seems no different.
How is the heart rate alarm on this watch? Looking to buy it for my in law.

rubbish, how do you know the higher readings were during activity?
i have bought several smartwatches. Will it be reasonably good enough to record my BP.
I believe it is reasonably good. As good as you can get in a wrist-worn device.
My Fit VII HM08, who makes this watch?
i didn't get a manual !
Great review, very helpful! Could you please inform the screen size? It looks like the same size as Fitbit versa. Thank you!!
From the Fitvii specs: "Resolution:240*240; IPS 1.3'' TFT Full Touch Display"

Does it monitor blood pressure throughout the day or only at night?
Yes
DOES HAVE FITBIT PAY AND SPEAKER?
No
Can I change straps?
Hmmm. It looks like it is, but I cannot verify that as the band attaches within a bit of recessed metal. Best to verify with the company.

No steps on which app to download ?
Wow
Cannot change the time also have no idea to charge. Even though I read the information.

Is the blood pressure monitor accurate

Great review. I'm ordering mine today
You can probably get rid of that QR on the app it’s self.
I thought so, but I haven't found that option yet. :-(
can you make calls from this. and how in the world does it measure BP?
No, no sim card so no calling from the device. As for how it measures blood pressure, you'll have to ask the manufacturer that question.
I find the instruction manual useless!
Identical to Fitbit Versa and the app as well . Surprise you didn’t mention that. Just saying looks like a rip-off
I've never seen or tried a Versa so I have no idea how they compare.
@@DaveTheKayaker
Come on you never seen a Fitbit Versa well let that be your next review and compare

@@DaveTheKayaker can you give me idea which is better between MorePro and FitBit VII ?
I cannot as I've never tried a Fitbit.
