    My son loves this. It is a bit larger and heavier than a Fitbit, but for only $25, it is a great product. My son walks around the house trying to get his steps in. Too funny.

    OK for the clearance price

    I bought this about seven weeks ago and have been using it for a while. I will say it is okay--for the clearance price that I bought it for ($15). There is no way it is worth the original full price of $50. If you are serious about fitness tracking, do not buy this--shell out the money for a Fitbit or a Garmin one instead. If, however, you are like me and just want to casually track steps, sleep, etc. pretty much just for the fun of it, or want to get this for a kid, then it's good enough. First of all, I tried to use it not just for the fitness tracking but as a watch. I am used to raising my wrist and looking quickly for the time. Using this tracker, however, you have to feel around the top of it for the little button to press every time you want to know the time. I know, I know, big deal, right? Well, once you have to do it constantly it gets tedious. Next, the display is nice and bright--IF you are indoors and in a not-so-well-lit area. If you are anywhere outside, forget it. You cannot see the display; it's just washed out. As for the actually tracking of how many steps I take, etc. I cannot attest to how accurate it is (supposedly I walk about a mile a day--that's just an average day for me of errands while being a mom to 3 kids--I don't exercise). It is neat, I must say, to see not only how many steps I've taken throughout the day but also how many calories I've burned and distance as well. I've also tried having it track my sleep habits but lost interest. As for battery life, it's quite good. I don't have to charge it too often, maybe once a week at most. I originally bought this as a Christmas present for my 14 year old who has been asking for a Fitbit but opted to get her a Garmin activity tracker instead. After actually trying it out I'm glad I got her the Garmin one. I want her to take the activity tracking seriously (she has some health issues) so I want an activity tracker that is more reliable and has excellent reviews/history.

    Overall it is OK, seems to track steps well, but the battery doesn't last more than a day.

    This activity tracker tracks activities. The tracker itself is fine and worth the $15. The app could use some work.

    Bought this for son. It lasted about 2 weeks before the bracelet broke. My son loved it but durability might be an issue for an active dude like my boy. The APP and band work fine and pretty accurate compared to my pricier bands. I wish it would had lasted longer.

    Watch works well but hard to get it to sync and you can only make changes through the phone when it's synced.

    These are not high end, but for the kids and the price they are a perfect start to getting used to them. Maybe next year up regard to better ones

    Not accurate at all, but...

    This thing is not even close to being accurate. Counts steps for every possible movement. Software that you sync to is junk. But, my son loves it, wears it everyday and it keeps him motivated to beat daddy. So, I guess it does what it's supposed to and shouldn't be compared to a higher end tracker.

    Way to big for my 8 year old son. He loved it but just barely fits his wrist. For 10-12YO

    My boys wanted activity trackers. They chose the Batman/Superman ones for obvious reasons. The first one was offset. You could not get the charging cable to insert fully into the port. The second one worked for a day or two then froze. The third one so far has worked well. The boys like the ease of use and the graphics. I like the fact it can be used with my phone despite the fact I have my own activity tracker with another program.

    My little brother bought this with his birthday money and it works perfectly for what he needs it for. It's basically a simpler, kids version of the Apple Watch or FitBit!
