Let me start by saying I received a FitBit Alta from my husband for Christmas. I wanted a fitness tracker, but felt guilty about him spending $130 on one. So, I had him return that and tried this one for $16. I have only had it for a day, but I'm in love so far. I started by charging it up overnight just to make sure it was fully charged. Then I downloaded the fitness tracker app using my Google Play app. I pressed the small button on the side of the tracker and the app was able to find the device rather quickly. It synched right to my phone, which set the date and time for me. I was worried this would be in military time, but it comes up with the standard time. I set how many hours I wanted to sleep and how many steps I wanted to walk per day. It was set to the default of 8 hours and 10,000 steps, which was fine. You are able to see the date, day of the week, time and battery level on the device itself. You can also see the steps, calories burned and distance by pushing the button on the side of the tracker multiple times. The app gives you even more detailed information including your exercise history. I ran/walked 2 miles on my treadmill and the tracker seemed to be consistent with what my treadmill said. To get updated steps/mileage/calories on the app, you just need to open the app and swipe down on the word "today". It will say "synching" and within a few seconds it has your updated steps and other info. I was also able to go under the "Device" settings and tell it to notify me of text messages, phone calls, etc. I received a text message earlier and it vibrated slightly to let me know. I think that's awesome considering I don't always have my phone with me and may miss a message alert. It can also monitor your sleep (which I haven't tested yet) and controls the camera on your phone, which I haven't tried out yet either. I love that this motivated me to get up today and get on the treadmill. When I was done, it showed my step count and percentage of my goal that I had to go. The only problem that I have with this so far is that it is slightly too large for my wrist. I have a very small wrist and had to set this on the last set of holes but it is still a little too large. It has a silicone band though, so I may try making my own holes if I get really tired of it being loose. Otherwise, I'm really happy, especially for the price. It does everything I expected the Fitbit Alta to do and for over $100 less. If my opinion of this tracker changes, I'll update my post, but for now, I'm happy!**Update 1/10/17... Today is the 4th day I have been using the tracker. I have experienced a few small problems with it. Mainly, it loses the bluetooth connection with my phone very easily. It wouldn't bother me so much, but the band vibrates every few minutes to let me know the signal is lost and that gets annoying. It also doesn't have a very long bluetooth range. I can leave my phone downstairs and walk upstairs and it loses the signal. To correct it, I have to go to my phone and shut off the bluetooth and turn it back on. That will reset the connection and it works fine again. The band also only picks up my text messages half the time. When they do come in, the text scrolls right across the tracker screen, which is pretty cool. I also found that if you hold down the small button on the side of the tracker, a stopwatch will come up. So, that's a bonus. I am keeping this at 5 stars for now because it really is great for the price!

Two words can accurately describe this tracker: Great value! I've owned *another name brand tracker*, and although this model doesn't track heart rate, I like it even BETTER than the expensive alternative. I'll start with the fit: it's very lightweight, great colors (I got the teal/aqua color) and the actual unit is removable from the silicone band which makes it wayyy easier to charge. My *name brand model* was too awkward, and I was constantly adjusting it to make it comfortable. The band material on this one doesn't drive me crazy like most, and if you splash a little water on it when you're washing your hands, it wipes dry easily and quickly. It is secured with two metal pieces that fit snugly but easily into the slots on the band, which I was worried might not be secure enough, but after riding a few hundred miles on my motorcycle the past few days, it hasn't budged! I should add that my wrist is on the small side, almost exactly 6", and I have the metal fasteners in the last two slots, and it's very comfortable. I went the first two days without needing to recharge it, so it already has a better battery life than my *name brand model*, even though I get a ton of Facebook notifications and texts, which I set to sync with the tracker. I love that I get a little vibration to notify me of every message, (and even the text of the SMS, so I can see if it's something I need to respond to right away, or if it can wait!) so I can leave my phone in my purse without missing a thing. Now the features: the app is very easy to use. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 and had no compatibility issues. I installed the product's free app, Veryfit 2.0, turned on the bluetooth on my phone, and the app and tracker did all the rest. I immediately started getting activity tracking results, and later, sleep analysis results. I really love the sedentary notification feature, reminding me to get up and move whenever I've been sitting too long at my desk. You can customize when and what notifications you want to receive, so you're not bothered by notifications that you don't want. Another big plus is that you can sync all your results to Google Fit! I don't personally use the app, but my mom does, and I plan on ordering her one of these trackers for Mother's Day!

Got this, then hesitated, then asked 12-year-old if they wanted it. They love it. And asked me to get another one so we can walk and work out together. I didn't know it sent text messages. Pretty cool, and the sleep monitor function is something our kid loves--just to prove she slept. For the money, I can't complain.

I really wanted a Fitbit but couldn't see spending that kind of money. This is very comparable to a Fitbit for a fraction of the price. It is a little bigger than a Fitbit but not too much. It tracks my steps, sleep, calories burned and I get my phone calls and text messages. It does not have a heart rate monitor but for this price who cares. I love it so much I bought one for my daughter.

I loved this fitness tracker, until the electronic tracker fell out of the band during a trip to NYC and was forever lost. The tracker disengages from the band easily so I sort of knew it would be a matter of time before I lost it. I paid $15 to see if a fitness tracker would work for me. It did, so I think I'll invest in a better designed one like Fitbit or Jawbone. The New You tracker was a good test.

This is my second purchase. I absolutely love it and for the money you can't go wrong. Does everything as advertised. Would highly recommend if your not a name brand person. This activity tracker does everything most of the expensive ones do. Also love the text and call alerts, very handy! Also use to set alarms for morning and night to take my heart medications. You can't go wrong for the money!
