Hey Moe, I had a neighbor years ago that was a salesman in for about nine months he made a fortune selling calculators to banks when they first came out.
It's amazing to think how efficient and accurate people used to be with slide rules and other methods before calculators. Imagine being an accountant and being introduced to spreadsheets for the first time. It's sort of like how I feel making TH-cam videos and now watching artificial intelligence make them by just speaking a few sentences. It's blowing my mind.
When you were a kid, Did you ever imagine the technology that would be available? I remember the communicator watch that some comic book private eye had and thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if that were a real thing.
The price has gone up to $22.00. I'm hoping they didn't snag me when it asked for my credit card earlier. I didn't complete the action but when I backed up and went forward again the information was still there. I closed it out and went to the play store so I'm hoping I don't get any surprises on my credit card. They're always trying to get you. I purchased an endoscope to work on my car to try to fix my car door that won't open and the app I used work three times but now they want me to upgrade to premium to make it work.
Stopped wearing my FitBit as it does not agree with me. Cost me a fortune, the strap side with the holes broke twice in one year because it is rubbery and you need to remove it every day for either charging for the week or to avoid getting all wet doing dishes or in a shower. I do not want to wear a wet watch after. The stairs counter always misses a few times I go up the stairs, the sleep thing doesn't often recognize short naps, it keeps me awake at night because it is clunky on my wrist and disturbs my sleep. My sleep habits were even worse when I used it. The tons of other features it has, I don't use or want to bother with anyway, plus it takes a chunk out of my day recording junk like what I ate and calorie counts. I have a good memory, so know when I eat a piece of cake or pie and don't need to be reminded. One feature I did like was the alarm clock, but didn't want to wear it when sleeping for it to wake me up. If I had only paid your price, at least I would not feel so bad about the worst gadget I ever bought for myself. Normally I love technology, but this FBit and I are not compatible at all. I went back to the simple Timex watch with the flexible strap that is easy to use and remove. Now if at least it had a PacMan game on it, it might be worth it.
Hi Robb! Supposed to be a watch out that even tells your blood sugar, haven’t checked it out yet. I’m very rough on my watch and that’s why I never spent the money on a smartwatch, but this might be cheap enough. After you have it awhile, do another review and let us know. Have a blessed day!
I chose the option w/o the app. The model I bought is a bit lesser than yours but is brand new and is labeled TYKOIT Petometer, lW1 Lite. With that said, 1) my model isn't resetting my steps back to zero each day at midnight, it does it at 12 noon, which I don't want; and 2) sometimes I want to be able to reset my steps to zero for personal reasons. For both these problems, I have tried moving settings for time format (12 hour to 24 hour and vice versa) and I've tried changing the date and daily time to get it to reset but no success. I see nothing in the manual about resetting steps automatically or manually. Can you please help?
That’s pretty impressive. Does it come with a Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass so I can read it? I’m afraid I would need a watch the size of a billboard. That really is amazing though.
Hi tops, the dial functions are actually pretty big. You can change the dial to other sizes also. However the function boxes are small but they're easy to memorize.

It's amazing how inexpensive technology gets after it's been out for years.

@@RobbsHomemadeLife Now you can't give one away. I have old collection of calculators actually and every time I use them I think how nostalgic it is.

Hey Brad that was Dick Tracy. Boy that sure was a long time ago.
That's a great price for a smart watch!

Max I'm sorry I don't know how to do that I would have to contact the manufacturer you could try Googling it

Can I load custom android apps on this watch?
no
@@RobbsHomemadeLife which one do you recommend for loading custom apps? As cheap as possible.
Can you add a calculator function?
No I'm sorry I don't think it does that but thank you for watching and commenting
