My doctor nearly had a stroke yesterday when she saw my blood pressure and wants me to monitor it and take readings daily. She suggested a FitBit or smart watch and this seemed cheap enough - the reviews online that mentioned the blood pressure component said it worked well (most of the negative reviews seem to be people expecting too much of a cheap smart watch).

NOTE - I am not relying on this for my health. I have weekly appointments with my GP and this is just to record the basic data to show any spikes or or areas of concern.

This seems to be its final clearance price, no stock close to me but in stock a few hours away and seems to be some around the place too.

From the website
Monitor your daily activity, heart rate, sleep cycle any many more using this smart watch.

    Review from Kmart:

    This watch is complete rubbish. Battery life is less than a day, which is not enough if you want to track 24 hrs of activity. The app that you have to download to your phone contains numerous pop-up advertisements for Temu, Facebook, gambling websites, and other garbage. These frequently freeze the screen with advertisements and no way to exit froRead more about review stating This watch is garage, don't waste your money.m them or move to the next step in the app. The weather function is completely useless—it apparently gives weather info for a time it updated in the past and doesn’t give current weather. There is no way to find out where the watch selects its weather information from, or when it updates. Some functions don’t operate at all, including music, photos, news. There is no information in the online manual about how to make these functions operate. The heart rate function and daily steps functions are wildly variable and inaccurate. Many of the supposed functions do not work on an Android phone, despite the watch being marketed as compatible with Android. The watch frequently gives buzzing alerts to unwanted functions such as reminders to have a coffee or exercise break, and there is no way to adjust these alerts. The maximum time the watch display stays on is only 30 seconds. The online manual doesn’t cover most of the supposed functions of the watch. I’m surprised that Kmart sells such rubbish—I sent it back and asked for a refund.

    • wisdomtooth on 07/02/2024 - 15:31

      This guy clearly didn't know how to set it up. I bought it and have none of those of problems (other than the crappy app).

    • sam buster on 18/02/2024 - 22:29

      Admittedly I have only worn it for brief spells (an hour or two each day), but I didn't need to charge it for about four or five days.

      You do need to install the app to set the time (as far as I can tell), and the weather updates seem to be only once a day, so that's quite useless.
      The recommended 'WearFt Pro' app isn't as bad as I was expecting it to be - I haven't noticed any ads yet. But there are only limited faces available, and even fewer are free. There is a customisable face (basically you add a background image and the time in standard digital font overlays it).
      I haven't tested the accuracy of the fitness tracking modules, but message notifications seem to work ok.
      The screen is sufficiently bright (four settings and I have it on 50% usually, but touch response isn't great (scrolling down more than one swipe seems a bit fidgety) - but I was similarly unimpressed with this aspect of the Samsung Watch, so…

      There is an alternative app that I will try out when I get time: Chronos.

    I wouldn't trust any fitness tracker that isn't Fitbit/Google, Apple or Whoop. There is a YouTuber "The Quantified Scientist" who compares them to medical equipment and most don't fare that well.

  • FredAstair on 06/02/2024 - 20:30

    Certainly not buying for tye BP measuring, but

    bought two, as assume that the charging cable will be one that is not usb c, so at least I have a spare cable.

    My local Aldi had a decent amount of BP cuffs last week and my GP says they are pretty comparable to his expensive one. Go pay $40 and look after yourself.

    • wisdomtooth on 07/02/2024 - 15:33

      I have the $40 cuff and quite a few smart watches that do BP, SpO2, one even purports to do glucose… Have both; different accuracies, different frequencies of use.

    It's $10, get it while you shop around for a deal on a better smart-watch and also a proper BP cuff monitor.
    I have a Galaxy watch 6 and waiting for the 'Muse Ring One'

      It’s not even the reason I posted it - I figured someone who doesn’t want the features of a $300+ smart watch would get some use out of a $10 (reduced from $50) one

    It's strange… my beloved bought and uses an apple smartwatch, on the advice of her cardiologist. But as I now realise, what would she know! 8 out of 10 ozbargainers surveyed categorically stated that the shedoc is wrong!

      Cardiologist would recommend for the ECG which is different - you can get an accurate 2 lead reading with a watch. You can’t (currently) get an accurate BP reading on any smart watch. Even wrist blood pressure cuffs are unreliable

      • rooster7777 on 07/02/2024 - 08:11

        I don't understand what this means.

        • Milkywayss on 07/02/2024 - 14:56

          ELI5 - Apple Watch good for heart. This watch bad for heart. All watches bad for blood pressure.

            @Milkywayss: All the negatives are mind boggling. I have never met anyone that walks around with a blood pressure device permanently attached to their arm…. that would be ridiculous.

            A watch that gives any indication of blood pressure at all throughout the day is clearly going to give a better idea of blood pressure than no device at all!

            It's like saying a fuel gauge in a car is bad…. because it's not as accurate as a laboratory grade volume measuring device.

      Get both; different use cases. Or do you really walk around with cuff pressure monitors on your arm all day long?

      • Cheapsize on 07/02/2024 - 16:40

        It's small enough to put in a bag or backpack and rubs on batteries if you really need it. Smart watch like this is likely inaccurate.

        • wisdomtooth on 08/02/2024 - 14:46

    Best to check your smart watch's Blood Pressure measurement (& other stats) are reasonably accurate!

    Easily done next time having Blood Pressure measurement @GP

    Even good smart watches can provide inaccurate readings. Had a Samsung Galaxy Watch not count any steps 1 day. Returned as unreliable.

    Posted a warning about a cheap smart watch with (much more basic) Heart Rate measurement. But it didn't!

    Pressed the button for reading (while not wearing it).. It flashed its LEDs, waited & gave a false reading. Different each time.
    It faked the Heart Rate measurement!

    Can get a Xiaomi smart band with a reasonable build quality and interface for like $35. When they're that cheap I'd argue that it's not necessary to go for something cheaper but low quality

    • Skatez on 07/02/2024 - 10:43

      I agree but I couldn’t see one for that price on Amazon or eBay. Could you please provide a link?

      • park on 07/02/2024 - 11:50

        Looks like they're approx $50 at the moment, but they've been on sale in the thirties. The range is called "Mi Band"

        • Skatez on 07/02/2024 - 11:54

          Ok cheers. Have you used one?

            +1

            @Skatez: Yep, have had one for a couple of years. Don't expect it to behave like a $400 Garmin, but if you just want time, steps, and some app notifications (I haven't mucked around with the heart rate function, but it does have one) in a reasonably well thought out package, it'll deliver. I had a cheap Samsung Galaxy Fit before that, and the design sucked. The Mi Band is a better overall product.

    • wisdomtooth on 07/02/2024 - 15:42

      The only bad thing about this watch is the app — I have it. I've been a Xiaomi fan for 6 years, but their apps have also become pretty bloated with adware too (mostly from Temu).

    If my doctor was that concerned I’d spend $45 on an upper arm blood pressure machine from Amazon to monitor my health properly. The ‘data’ out of an Anko ‘smart’ watch is worthless, and honestly the quality of user experience from this kind of knock-off product is all but guaranteed to raise your blood pressure…

  • drfuzzy on 07/02/2024 - 08:12

    From a doctor's perspective this a poor idea. An inaccurate measurement tool can be worse than not measuring at all.

      That makes zero statistical sense. That's like saying you're don't look at your car's speedometer because it infers speed from rpm instead of actually measuring it.

      • Brick Tamland on 07/02/2024 - 21:05

        A poor reading showing you blood pressure is high when it’s not might stress you out and make it worse.

    As the watch diameter is 43mm.I'm estimating the lug width to be 20 or 22mm. If you have OnePass and a few watches in your collection this is a $10 straight end quick release silicon watch band with a free smart watch included which can be returned within one year.

    So my watch arrived a couple of days ago and the first thing I want to say is damn this watch is one sexy motherf@#er. It’s by far the best looking and most comfortable watch I’ve ever tried on. I would be completely satisfied even if this can just tell me the time.
    Unfortunately mine came with the box already opened and the charger cable missing so I haven’t turned it on yet but get this Kmart are going to try find me a charging cable and if they can’t they are going to have one sent from the manufacturer (which could take 2-3 weeks). What fantastic service from Kmart. They are really back in my good books with this amazing customer service.

    Reading the privacy policy of the app it looks like it basically spies on you.

    For those that have this watch is it possible to set up the watch then delete the app?

    • wisdomtooth on 22/02/2024 - 17:35

      Absolutely. I rarely open the app. The only downside, I think, is not being able to see the history of health measurements.

      • TightLikeThisx on 24/02/2024 - 21:30

        I got mine today. Honestly for $10 not a bad deal. The only thing that worries me is the watchface. I'm afraid I might bang it on something and it will break.

        It's probably good that I have an iPhone because it lets me disable everything that the app wants to access on my phone and shows no ads.

        I was going to get a new watchband for my old casio watch but this keeps the time in sync with my phone which is what I wanted. Better in low light situations too.

        Lets see how long it lasts though.

          I'm actually quite annoyed about it, but also relieved I wasn't wearing my Seiko!
          I scraped it against the edge of the garden wall while carrying bags through the gate that blew closed. I was half-expecting it to be smashed when I looked.
