Customers have good things to say about the product's activity tracking, ease of use, and water resistance. The app is also well-received, with users appreciating its functionality for chores and rewards. However, some customers have reported issues with the band size, battery life, and screen.
we purchased 2 of these during the pandemic. With the kids stuck at home we wanted to make sure they were getting enough activity. Now they compete to see who can reach their goals first. The app is great and we can add chores for each kid to help them gain coins. We already had a reward system for them but this integrated well. It also lets us track there sleep. The one we bought for my son had a large band which was a little bit tight. after a few days it was leaving a mark. the packaging only comes wiht one size band. if you want the XL band you can buy it for an additional $20. I didnt like having to pay extra just to make it fit so i took off a star.

In the era of electronic devices replacing physical activity for kids this is a good idea to help get them motivated. Good starter for young kids. My daughter got very competitive on who's winning the step race ;) She also loves that she has the only one that can go in the pool in the family. The only complaint would be that band it comes with is REALLY small. My daughter is 6 and it left marks after wearing for a few days. We stretched it on a container which helped but will probably have to look at replacement bands to try and get something bigger for her.

We pick this up for our son as a recommendation from his teacher to use towards motivation and reward systems. So far, it is well-made, water resistant, easy to use, and my seven-year-old enjoys using it. All of it is exactly as it should be, but we do wish that the band would be able to be sized a little differently. Having a universal size band is OK, but it's tough when you have a small wrist. Other than not being able to reduce the size of the band, we are very happy with this product.
