make your mind up you are saying don't waste your money but give it 4 stars. anyways at this price why not, it's in the same price bracket as the cheap bands on gearbest etc. I would sooner buy and try this at £8 (£28 on Amazon) than waste my money on the cheap alternatives.

That's not a natural sleep cycle, it's a flaming annoying sleep cycle.

Is like the first smart watch they made, wasn't fit for purpose or even as a bin filler!

Can anyone suggest a good fitness tracker for use during 5-a-side footy? Would the Fitbit Charge do the job?

I've had no problems with the two things I have ordered, but they did take around 3 weeks to arrive. Once I paid for delivery tracking, it told me it had arrived... a week after I had received it. So I am not sure that's worth paying for. Otherwise no probs. Never had to send anything back though...

I bought one from Argos for £19.99. It is the worst piece of garbage ever. Don't do it!

My advice is don't, no matter how cheap, risk buying from Gearbest.
Yes, I've had non-arrival of stuff, but it was cheap so I didn't stress. But if you ever have an item go faulty then god help you because Gearbest certainly won't. They have avoidance, evasion and obfuscation down to a fine art. It really needs to be experienced to be believed. Genuinely, you can't imagine how bad it is. Buying from CEX, paying double the price and then cleaning your toilet with your toothbrush would be preferable to buying from Gearbest.

Good price crap product...purchased one about 6 months ago, and returned it a few days later. never got anything remotely right. During a car journey, i supposidly cycled some of it, even sitting at my desk in work had me swimming. Completely unreliable.

Being honest, I recently bought a GPS watch from them, very cheap. Didn't like it when I took it out of the box and put it on. So I returned it by freepost. My money was back on my credit card in 3 days. I would buy from them again.

could be because its sold out everywhere lol
Probably due to this OP all gone now but best to keep an eye on it as they do get them in all the time, doubt they will be any cheaper though.

I've tried this band and it's utter crap - I can't stress enough how useless it is!
Will be trying the new Mi Band soon. It is £5 more expensive, but should be way better than this.

Ive sold & bought tons from them and can say they are awesome overall. They are not great when returning faulty goods by post as it can take a month and they dont communicate with you well. But Ive been surprised at how great some of their products have been. Its pot luck with 2nd hand goods. They even once sent me a 3TB HD in replacement for fauty 1TB HD. Maybe by mistake but I wasnt complaining! I have a store right near me and the staff there are wonderful and friendly.

Thanks, I appreciate your input. I don't mind it falling to pieces after a while as long as I actually receive something for my money that works for a while, like there's a £4 headset for the ps4 that I thinks worth the risk. if anything goes wrong with it though I won't bother ringing customer support, it's impossible to get customer service from our own banks at home nevermind people trying to scrape a living over in China

haha, I'd pay the $1.99 as insurance for a tracking number but they seem to be making the tracking up for some easy dolla.

Had one and recommend them a lot as a cheap way to see if a fitness tracker is for you. My only gripe and advise is buy a leather strap from ebay that secures the Mi tracker in place. Always found the tracker would pop out of the supplied band and I eventually lost it whilst playing football. Got a garmin band now but defo recommend the MiFit band. Hope this helps buddy.
