KALINCO Smart Watch, Fitness Tracker with Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Pressure, Blood Oxygen Tracking, 1.4 Inch Touch Screen Smartwatch Fitness Watch for Women Men Compatible with iOS Android

Today, 1/4/2024, I believe I finally discovered why my sleep function would come and go over the past year. Since my last update, nearly 6 months ago, I have had a couple of additional "No Data" experiences, when trying to determine how well I slept the previous night. I tried everything, even moved the watch to my other wrist and still the problem. I did clear the cache memory again for this app on my phone and was about to hit the reset button which would have erased all my exercise and sleep history, when it occurred to me. It was a simple problem which had nothing to do with the app or the watch itself. About 5 months ago the wrist band strap, which prevents the wrist band itself from flapping at the end, had broken. I replaced it with an older wrist band strap, from another watch, which stopped the flapping, but it was still loose up and down the band. I compensated by tightening the watch band 1 or 2 notch holes. This prevented the flapping but it apparently was too tight for the sensor to monitor my circulation sleep data at night. When I returned to the original notch hole position, sure enough.....sleep data this morning. Pretty sure this was the problem. I will use a tighter watch band strap. So I am changing my review to 5 stars today.......excellent value and information for a $30 starter smart watch. Just don't squeeze it too tight around your wrist. ******************************************************************************** Today, 6/18, the Sleep Function data from last night showed up this morning. I am not sure why. This is the first Sleep Data that got to my HerobandIII app since 5/14/23. The only thing I did last night was charge the watch up to a full 100%. I will now give it a 4* rating. ******************************************************************** I never thought I would need or want a smart watch. However, as I got older, I wanted something to keep track of my health functions, especially sleep, HR, BP, and exercise data, walking 3-5 times per week. So I found this $30 Kalinko, and figured why not give it a try. I knew it wouldn't be as accurate against standard monitors or other smart watches ,but at least is was mobile. So my expectations were very low to begin with. If it was junk, so be it, and I would spend a little more to get a watch that would give me a higher level of performance I now have read many of the other reviews, especially the 1 or 2 stars to find out what others have been upset about compared to the one and only problem I have had so far. First, some facts I learned along the way and data to do a level set: 1. I purchased my Kalinko P22 in late December, 2022 2. The basic HR, BP, and O2 measurements are not accurate (10-20% lower) because the accelerometer the Chinese manufacturer uses is very basic in order to improve their profit margin for inexpensive retail price you pay. However, THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT, believe it or not. What is important are the measurement changes you see in the history log. The differences will give you a trend line against previous measurements. Don't compare it to other more accurate devices like BP monitors and cuffs or other instruments at the doctor's office. Even those only give you single data points, and no trend lines good or bad. 3. I believe the Steps function is not a measurement of your walking or physical steps with your feet. Think of it as an "Activity" monitor. It measures movement of your right or left wrist, even at night , when you toss and turn in your sleep or get up to do normal functions that wake you up. I set daily goal steps to 10,000 steps, which is just about right for my age and activity level. 4. Don't expect and help from this Chinese manufacturer. No phone or email and expect poor english if you do get a hold of someone. Most Chinese products have little help available as I found out with their remote cameras and other products. The best you can do is download their User Guide which is still substandard but better than nothing. Also, the included setup guide is so small (font size 1 or 2) you can't read it.. I had to copy it to my printer and increase the copy size by 50%. 5. Don't buy this watch for yourself or someone that is not good with IT. If you want the full function bluetooth hookup with the HerobandIII App on your smart phone, you must have a smart phone and understand QR codes to perform the link. Otherwise you will just get the watch functions with no exercise or sleep data history which is kept on the phone 6. Keep this watch on most of the time unless you are taking a shower, swimming, or in water. If you have a regular watch, keep the Kalinko, on your other wrist, hopefully on the hand you use the most. You will get use to it. The rubber band is basic. Still have my original but you can get fancier ones if you want. 7. The battery is good and lasts me normally around 7 days before I charge it up at 20%. The magnetic contacts are a little weird and it's easy to lose contact with the watch. Look for the dashed green lights that indicate "charging" and finally "charging complete" and 100% Don't move the watch while charging. Normally takes about 2-3 hours for me with the USB plugged into one of my computer ports. 8. The night light Torch function. An unexpected surprise at night or dark places is the single watch button turns on a very bright face light to find things and places without a flashlight or light switch. It gives you about 5 seconds to locate anything within 5 feet. 9. Don't care about other functions like weather or remote control for camera shots or messages or music. The Find Phone option might be helpful if you misplace it nearby. It So, why just 3 stars? 1. It's a beginner smart watch for $30. It's ok, and I might just keep it until I find a more accurate or reliable one for $200 or more. 2. I am an avid walker and hiker. The Exercise function has never failed me for this type of exercise. I can go back to December 2022 history on the watch and get information as to how much I have progressed on the same walks and hikes showing, HR, miles, and how they rate for my age on standard, weight loss, aerobic, and anaerobic functions. This gets a 5 * rating and worth the $30 all by itself. 3. The Sleep Function is the most important function for me. It is the only function which you don not have to manually start and stop with the watch. It depends on the quality and accuracy of the accelerometer on you wrist. It worked perfectly for 137 nights from December until mid-May. It gave me good info on total sleep time, deep sleep, and times I woke up during the night. Even a sleep quality score. Then nothing with a "No Data" message when I woke up on the 138th morning. The User Guide says it is possible that individual sleep apps can lose data if you don't clear the cache memory on the HerobandIII app on the smart watch. This had to be it, I thought. So I cleared the cache of the 7.8 mb, which should have cleared the problem. However, it didn't and I still have all the sleep history on a calendar going back to December, but No Data for the past 2 weeks. The only other option would be to clear the data or reset the watch which defeats the history I want to keep. Not sure what else I can do, and no response from their "helpdesk" email address, or even their app developer. So a 1* for me on this watch on this aspect. Final Summary. Unless the Sleep Function "No Data" can be restored, no more Kalinko $30 specials for me. I will only use this watch for Exercise History, Health Trend, and the torch function for seeing in dark areas at night. If anyone else has solved the Sleep Function "No Data" problem. Please document. Thanks.

100% real review If you're anything like me, then I know you're having a hard time trying to decide on a good, cheap smartwatch. There are sooooo many to choose from and you don't want to get a crappy made watch. You want good quality and cheap price. THIS IS IT!! I've had a few I bought off Amazon and each time I was disappointed in my purchase... You don't really know what you're gonna get until it actually arrives in the mail. Seller pictures don't help a lot because some sellers show the watch from angles that make it hard to determine if it's a good watch or not. I bought one a couple years ago that looked great in the pictures but once I got it, I couldn't believe how bad it was. It was so big it looked like one of them round tobacco containers that rednecks carry. It barely had any functions and the battery would only last a day. So now I'm really cautious when buying a new smartwatch. I bought a different one right before this purchase. The functions were really limited and it cost the same as this Kalinco smartwatch purchase so I decided to return it and bought this watch. LET ME TELL YOU... I was soooo surprised by this watch. It's actually a really awesome watch. Due to health issues there are certain functions I was looking for. The one I returned had a heartbeat monitor but nothing else that I thought it had. Then I seen this watch. It has almost all the functions I need and it's the same price. Not only does it have a heart rate monitor but it also checks blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. To find all three of those functions in one watch is easy but they all cost double or triple the price of this. Then add all the other functions this has...YOU CANNOT BEAT THIS PRICE!! This watch isn't big and bulky like most... The screen looks great and has a great response time... The battery last exactly how long they say it will. (Maybe even a little longer depending on your use.) It has all the functions for an active lifestyle. It even has a sleep monitor!! I highly recommend you give this watch a try. If you read some of the different smartwatch reviews, you'll see some people complain that certain functions don't work then they complain about the quality of the watch. What they don't realize is that it's not the watch... IT'S THEIR PHONES!! 9 times outta 10 it's because their phone is low end and not good enough for the watches. I read some saying that about this watch but I guarantee it's not the watch. I have a higher end Samsung and every function of this KALINCO smartwatch works perfect. So if you want a great smartwatch and you have limited money to spend, then try this first. I guarantee you'll like it. What do you have to lose at such a low price point?

I am fairly happy with this watch. I like the pink band even though they say it can be changed. The first main reason I ordered this one is because I have a tiny wrist, and it was the smallest I could find. But on the other hand, I'm older and wanted a large face. So it's okay. It was easy to set up. I have an iPhone -- downloaded the App, HeroBandIII, and everything fell into place. You do have to make sure it has permission to connect for certain things, but it tells you to go to Settings if necessary. I had to search a bit to figure out how to change from C to F and KM to Miles and all that.. but nothing worse than usual. Just keep pressing on stuff. It's easy and fairly quick to download different watch faces if you want. Mostly not usable for me. Getting messages is nice, but I don't care that I can't answer them from the watch. To get it to turn on/light up, I have to twist my wrist several times, and sometimes I just give up and press the side button. I don't know if this is common with these watches or not. Not the worst thing--even though when on a bike it would be more convenient to have that work better. The battery certainly lasts. And I like knowing my steps for the day--and the temperature, even though that disconnected a couple of times for whatever reason.. but not a real issue. I don't expect a smart watch (especially at this price) to be perfect, but I can't figure out how to get my cycling info to register on the app---although it registers my walking just fine. It shows a lot of info that is helpful. And that is the other main reason I got this watch-- so I could register my activities, of which biking is a main one.. so that's kind of disappointing. If I can't figure it out, I will use this more as a daily watch and my more "sporty" plain black watch for biking. The Kalinko manual is useless. No details. I messaged them twice, (no answer) But, while searching online, I saw that a few other people with "fancy" smart watches were mentioning this same issue of them registering walking info, but not biking. Someone said to disconnect the watch, and I'm not sure what that means but will try to figure it out.

I bought this watch in late May and it is absolutely unusable as of late August. I'm extremely disappointed in the durability of the watch, as it is defined as a "sport watch". It will not withstand even normal activities. I initially purchased it to track my vitals and use as a step counter for motivation. I'm working on weight loss and also tracking stress and sleep patterns. The watch band has completely fallen apart, though I've used duct tape until I can get a more durable replacement so I can use it to track steps at least for now. The screen has lines running through it, which don't show up in the pictures. The negatives far outweigh the positives, unfortunately. I had hopes this watch would stay with me on my journey, but that is not going to happen. The watch has a decent app, however the bluetooth often becomes disconnected, happening more frequently with use. So the tracking part has no value if the data doesn't save. There is no notification when this happens, so as much as a week and a half has gone by with complete data loss. As a result, my tracking data wasn't saved making the app worthless. The battery life has been decent. But, you must cut back on features in order for this to work. For instance, my watch is set to timeout at 5 seconds. And I've disabled the "look and display" feature. I also don't frequently check it either. The Bluetooth will disconnect with no notification, regardless of battery settings. The durability is another issue where it falls far below expectations. The watch band caused severe itching. The watch band kept detaching from the watch, but I was able to reattach it at first. Now, it tore completely on one side, partly on the other, so I used duct tape to hold it together until I can replace it with a better watch. The loops and band melt and distort during Midwestern summers, then fall off. I lost the loops, then the band tore off. The accuracy of the data is okay. I see my doctor monthly and it it's been sufficiently correct enough in terms of blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels. It usually reads slightly higher with blood pressure. The sleep tracking is inaccurate, but that feature was something I was willing to sacrifice due to the price. Overall, the features have maybe an 75% accuracy. Now the app does work when connected and has features such as colorful watch faces, that track various aspects, depending on which one you choose, when the screen isn't broken. The media player is very simple, only allowing you to pause, go forward, or back. The app is okay if you're good with that kind of thing. However, that all goes out the window when the screen develops lines and other distortions, which mine has. There are now several lines going across the screen, that slowly crept down, and now cover the entire watch face making it mostly unreadable. It was okay while it lasted, but the number of issues I've had don't match the value. The watch band detaching and eventually tearing, the loops warping then getting lost, the Bluetooth disconnecting constantly, and inaccurate monitoring make this a trial watch at best. The watch has fallen apart in 3 months time for me, despite being extremely careful.

I really like this watch because it lets me change anything I want from my phone. I love the color, and it's been super useful. I totally recommend it, and it's very reasonably priced in my opinion.

After having this watch for a few days, I found that the bp readings are not accurate at all and is more of a gimmick. I have 2 accurate cuff monitors that are accurate to each other but this watch gives way off high readings. It seems like it just throws out numbers within a certain range that have nothing to do with your bp. When you think about it, how would it be even possible to read bp by just shining a green light onto your wrist? All accurate bp monitors actually apply pressure to measure pressure, not by shining a light. And if it was possible to read bp this way why doesn't the expensive apple watch have this function? Because it doesn't work that is why. Putting a bp claim on this watch is nothing more than a marketing ploy that I actually fell for. But despite this I still think for the price it's still a good buy because it is well made and the other functions like sleep tracker and step seemingly works to some degree. How accurate they are I cannot say for sure but for me at this cheap price the watch is ok. So far that battery life has been good. It looks like it will go for about a week before I will need to charge it. Another nice thing about this watch is the excellent display. As far as looks and feel it is very good. So I still recommend this despite the bp function is completely useless. I have to disagree with the user that said the incorrect bp readings don't matter and only the trend of the readings matter. This is false because if the readings are all over the place the trend has no meaning too.

I have owned a half dozen smart watches, everything from basic to a couple of high end Samsung's so I have a pretty good idea of what is out there. This watch is not on the top of my list for features, but it is the watch I wear the most. Why, you may ask. Value: This watch is inexpensive. If I lose it or break it while wearing it while working I am not out a lot of money. And yes, I have broken some expensive watches while working and I have no plans on making that mistake again! This little watch however doesn't cost a lot yet at the same time it delivers on the features I actually use the most. #1 This watch tells you the date and time, the main reason I wear a watch! #2 Timer: It has a nice timer that is easy to access and use and clear to read. Great while I am working, walking, cooking or doing anything that needs timed. I use that a lot on a watch. #3 Extra smart watch features: It has most of the features I like and find desirable. Heart rate, sleep time, steps, weather and so forth. Its not an Apple watch or a high end Samsung so it will not match them feature for feature. But then it doesn't cost much. For the affordable price you pay you get a decent little watch that does most all of the things you actually need a simple smart watch to do. I wear this as my daily use watch. It does what I need it to do and it holds up well. If I am going "out" I put on something more expensive and "flashy" to look good. And YES, I would buy it again and recommend it to a friend for what it is...an affordable watch that tells time and keeps an eye on you.

I love this watch! The soft wrist band is vastly more comfortable than my previous watch. The screen is brighter in the sun. I like the square shape so the time shows on a single line instead of two. The old watch died when I pulled the strap off to charge it and it pulled the USB connector out of the watch itself. I was extremely pleased to see the magnetic coupler to charge this one. Note that it must exit under the watch on the side WITHOUT the button. You don't want to reverse the polarity. The image makes it clear which way to put it, but I saw no text instructions to that effect. I was pleased to be able to download the manual, which is much more readable than the sheet that comes with it. I have not crosschecked with an arm band BP test, but based on my knowledge of what to expect, I think this watch is far more accurate than the old one for BP and pulse rate. And this one does far more stuff with my phone than the old one did. And the price is right! You won't find a better watch anywhere for anywhere near this price! I do wish the battery lasted longer, as I was used to charging it once a week, and this one they say lasts five days. But a larger battery would make the watch larger and heavier, So I guess it's a trade-off. And this one is at least much less stressful to actually perform the charge.

Excellent watch for the price, very happy 😊 it does everything that I needed, blood pressure and heart. It doesn't replace medical care. Works perfectly. Thank you

my wife was using a fitness band with little to no features. so it was time for an upgrade since the weather is nice and we wanted to take the kids out for more walks around the neighbourhood. I wanted to get her one with a screen as she does not have the phone on her at all times and still be able to see who is trying to contact her. We landed on this, the pink was just perfect as it is her favourite colour. only 2 things within the box, very simple. USB charger and the other end is connected via magnets, this is a very nice touch. Setup was very easy, simply down the app and connect via bluetooth. once activated, the step & heart beat counter syncs up and goes into action. Very easy to swipe to the other screens. Easy for her to read text when i send her. went out for walks with it and no problems when sweating or the heat. Overall pretty happy with this, especially the price point, may look into getting the black version for myself to match her.

Bra armband på klocka. Stegräknare räknar armrörelser inte steg. I övrigt bra klocka, blodtryck mätare någorlunda ok om jag jämför med fristående som jag har.

I like it

Works great but returned it to large for my wife's wrist.
