After this disappointment, if one accepts that all the statistical reports that are systematically transmitted to the manufacturer's website, he has many qualities.
It is lighter than a watch and finesse makes it look like a simple silicone bracelet.
The material in contact with the skin is soft and pleasant to touch, and the locking system with 2 clips holds well (he even proved difficult to close, at least the first few times until "take the stroke ").
The OLED display (white on black background) for excellent visibility, and it responds well to the touch to scroll through the information and validate the buttons to access the built-in features.
The most interesting feature is to be notified by vibration with the reading on the screen content of it.
So you discreetly warned notifications from your smartphone remained in a pocket or bag, and it is more discreet to observe the Band screen out the smartphone to verify the origin a call or the content of a received SMS.
The application also allows you to be notified of his appointment.
This bracelet can fortunately be used as shown, has a "pedometer" function associated with your profile information (height, weight) can present you the distance traveled and calories burned.
The last function is the monitoring of sleep, to manually activate when you go to bed (it can be done from the smartphone or from the touch screen of the bracelet) and turn off the alarm clock (automatic deactivation is triggered if forgotten after 200 steps).
Visualization is the result from the application on the smartphone where you can see the duration of sleep (actually the time between the activation and deactivation of the sleep mode) and the "quality" of it in the form of higher or lower bars (which correspond to movements produced during sleep).
Autonomy announced 5 days is realistic, but rather strongly depends on the number of notifications received, and the full charge time is about 1:30 to 2:00 depending on the USB charger used.
It can be updated in the future to offer new features (in fact he received an update from the first startup).
It comes with a "charging station" (a small box in which to insert the bracelet) and a small micro-usb cable (about 10cm).
The principle of the charging station is interesting because it is possible to use a smartphone charger (fitted with a micro-USB connector) and the bracelet is more thinner and lighter than competing models with integrated USB plug (for connection to a computer or USB-AC adapter).
The counterpart is that if we start traveling so do not forget to carry the charging station otherwise not be able to reload it.
