Runmefit 4+

Please add three categories number one category that keeps up for the miles that you walk per week. Number two a category that keeps up with how many miles you walk per month and number three category that keeps up with how many miles you walk per year. A good reference to look atis VeryFitPro. It doesn’t have to look exactly like it but keeping up with those three categories helps tremendously because right now I’m looking to purchase another watch that keeps up with my miles with that app and then I will toss this one. Thank you, Mark.

I’ve had the device and thus the app for about a month now. It does seem to track steps acceptably and the health tracking data is useful. There are two critical glitches that limit its usefulness and make me want to look for a different device and app.

First, the app takes way to long to update from the device. I’ve not timed it, but it actually takes longer than an older predecessor from the same bracelet manufacturer. Along the same lines, it can be frustrating to find historical data points.

The second issue is more of an issue for me. When using the actual exercise mode (for cycling in this case), the app seems to arbitrarily stop tracking in the middle of my ride. I have to constantly check it which is really irritating when I’m in the zone. Today, it stopped 4 times over about 16 miles. That means that I am not really sure how far or long I biked. It is probably more than reported here. That problem alone makes me want to switch.

On a related note, the bracelet that associates with the app is advertised to have a 15-day battery life. I knew better than to believe that, but am surprised at the reality: 1.5 days is about average.

For the record, the app updated last week. My phone is also the most recent IPhone and is also up to date.

I love this product, it’s waterproof, don’t have to worry about sweat or the shower. it has a long battery life, only have to recharge it once a week. The alerts, for goals met , are motivating ,and the alerts for calls and texts, are convenient in that I don’t have to reach for the phone unless it’s important. Also the instant feedback on, heart rate and blood pressure, makes it easy to monitor your health. I especially like the sleep monitor, prior to getting this watch, I was completely unaware of the quality or quantity of my sleep.
