Technically I was unfortunately not at all convinced the fitness band Vovismart. There are positive features to be highlighted, such as:
+ Setting of the Home screen
+ Display different views (current steps, steps to today's destination, raced km / mi, etc.)
+ Playback control of music (regardless of the used music app, must be selected in the device settings)
(Can be changed in the device settings or added) + reading SMS, WhatsApp messages, emails and more
+ Display Clock
+ Wassserdicht to 5 ATM
(+ Sleep Testing)
However, there are a few serious "shortcomings", which I can not understand why the band goes back:
- The fitness band can only be coupled / connected to the phone if you have an active Internet connection. If you want abroad due to a different time zone, set the alarm clock again, this is not possible without an Internet connection. The alarm can be switched on only on the smartphone app and be issued. Why not a simple function on the tape or why you need an Internet connection is necessary, do not open up to me.
- The accuracy of the pedometer is unfortunately miserable. Deviations of + 10% per day are not unusual but rather the rule. When brushing your teeth are quickly 300 to 400 "extra steps" accomplished without that one has to move a meter. When writing on the computer it came with me to additional non-follow steps.
- With the band can go swimming though but recognizes the tape no strokes
- Standard Sport features that are supported only "race" and "golf".
- Permanent problems while pairing smartphone and fitness band. According to Garmin, one should turn to only Bluetooth, then open the Garmin app and then on the ribbon. This sequence leads to a significant better "hit rate" when connecting but again does not work any connection the first time, I wonder if no meters is between two devices. Once the connection is established, this works very well. In case of prolonged absence from the smartphone (more than 10 m), there are the usual problems while pairing. Turn off all wireless connections first, and then turn it back on as described above everything. Actually, should the technology to serve people and not vice versa. Here it is unfortunately the case.
In a test of the chest strap I have omitted. Have only tried the coupling and that went quite fast. Easily.
Unfortunately, the band did not meet my expectations.
