The sleep analysis and the steps / calories seemed conclusive.
The big drawback is the app and documentation
1. In the manual, which I have read in its entirety, are noticed with the following points:
- It is written that you can turn off the heart rate measurement with the app. This menu item I do not find in the app. That would be especially useful if you are traveling, and wishes to actively switch off the measurement. This leads me directly to item 3, but equal to more.
- The table for LED display of the frequency ranges with the small arrows is incomprehensible, since the words are not the same in app and guidance and I did not understand until the arrows. Next, the vibration patterns are not explained. The device has sent me today daytime different Morse codes that I could not read (five times vibrate and then nothing more, or 2 times vibrate in succession 5 times, sometimes with and sometimes without LEDs). Without the knowledge of what wants to tell me the device, I feel the vibration as very disturbing.
2. It can not be set separately for vibration alerts and HR areas. Since I did not understand the vibration pattern, could I do otherwise, as the vibration eradicate them completely. In fact, the notification e-mails on the bracelet worked but good. Next you can based on the vibration pattern does not distinguish whether a heart rate zone has been changed or someone came in.
3. I have nothing against the general data store on the server Epson (somewhere must the data out). However, it is absolutely incomprehensible to me why an Internet connection must be maintained, so that I can make from your mobile device settings. I found myself today outside network coverage and was not able to turn off the vibration of Pulsense because it bothered me and I could not place what the device wants from me (no explanation of the vibration pattern, as I said). In my view, have no data to the Epson Server are sent for a pure communication between the unit and mobile phone via Bluetooth, so consequently there must be no internet connection. Especially if you are aware of the HR wants to stop measurement, because you're on the go, has no ready outlet and want to save battery power, which is an important Feature.Auch when all settings even from WebFrontend can be made so the app can nevertheless simply with update the server once it has again Netzt - after all, one should always have turned the background refresh. Which brings me to step 4.
4. My Event card is not working. In the privacy policy of the iPhone I can share location services. However, the aid continues: Choose Settings> General> App and activate, if necessary updating. This does not work and is not active for iOS. There is the point: Settings> General> Background update. There Pulsense is not listed. The general app settings is now pulsing with "mobile data allowed" and "location service enabled". I do not know how to release the background refresh.
5. In general, the app is very slow because apparently every time a menu item only data needs to be exchanged with the server. During the data exchange, the app is not usable, since I get the wait icon of the operating system appears, and press is simply not processed on a button. In this case, the evaluation of the pulse is then very interesting as me waiting for the app in an "excited" state versetzt.Im rest also, the fact that I can not change my device via Bluetooth, when I have no power!
6. small stuff at the end: It is very confusing that one in the German App has the choice of Exit and Cancel. I'm still only at the hesitation, which is the button to confirm - Exit is not very intuitive.
7. It would be great if it were somewhere stated in the manual that the whole little picture are explained from the app on the web frontend. It is only mentioned in one of the first few pages forward that there is a web front-end, which I have admittedly skipped first.
8. I would be interested, according to which guidelines Epson defines when an excited and when a more relaxed state. My heart rate is measured so apparently continuous, as I would on the basis of gray representation in the graphs suggest times (which is also not very well explained).
9. And last of all: Where are my raw data? Is there a way to view or downloading it? Jawbone example. Has export to Excel.
Final:
I have the pulsing returned because he sat so tight because of the HR measurement arm that has hurt me after two days. Combined with the eternal waiting for the app, I was unhappy with the device - even if the hardware is good !!
