GRV Fitness Tracker Non Bluetooth Fitness Watch No App No Phone Required Waterproof Pedometer Watch with Steps Calories Counter Sleep Tracker for Men Women Parents

I bought this fitness tracker without Bluetooth because I was looking for something simple, functional, and that didn't require constant connection to my phone, and it has truly met my expectations. What I like most is its simplicity: it doesn't require apps, syncing, or complicated settings. It's perfect for those who just want to track basic daily activity like steps, distance traveled, estimated calories, and, in some cases, heart rate. The screen is clear and easy to read, even in bright sunlight. The battery lasts significantly longer than most Bluetooth smartwatches, precisely because it's not constantly connected. In my case, it lasts for several days without needing to be charged, which is a huge plus. It's also comfortable to wear, lightweight, and discreet. It's suitable for both exercise and everyday use. The materials feel durable and are appropriate for the price.

The frustrating part is the programming. It is very sensitive when it comes to moving from one program to another and inserting your data. My first several attempts were a nightmare of frustration and I had to hold myself in check to prevent myself from tossing it at a wall or stomping on it. That was with the first watch. But that pattern repeated with the second watch which arrived a week later. For accuracy, here is the comparison. I am utilizing this watch primarily as a pedometer. I put both watches, same brand, both fully charged, onto the same wrist and went onto a stepper. The results were the purple said 3948 steps while the green put the steps at 3388. The difference is 560 steps. That is a lot. And I don't know which - if either - is accurate. (Steppers are notoriously inaccurate, even if they appear to work - mine doesn't - hence the wrist pedometer.) Whichever wrist you wear your watch on, that arm needs to be in swing motion for the pedometer to function. The color of the band is true to what's on-screen. I ordered the green then followed that up with the purple. In dim light the band looks more brown than purple, but in light it is definitely purple. Contrary to the initial programming, after that it's functional and easy to flip through your stats. If you're going to charge into a socket, you need the adapter but otherwise the watch charge mechanism is on the unit. There is no cord involved. That requires removing the band on that side. But the band is easy to push on and pull off. Not fancy but a sleek design that also has a variety of band colors available. Lightweight. Not chunky. No app or cell connection. Not SMART. It's an independent unit so you access your results immediately. UPDATE: Still have the green one but the purple strap one needed the battery charged as I was using that more often. The battery was half empty. I used the same adapter for charging as last time but went through several outlets and it did not charge. In fact, it dropped further on battery usage. This is a return item. We'll see what the lifespan of the green strap watch pedometer is.

I'm updating my review... (original review below) After my initial watch had issues past the return period, customer service reached out to me to exchange the watch with a replacement. Bravo for that. Works great, no issues. I like the simple functions, but know there are some quirks on usage to realize aren't a failing watch: 1. If it's not charging: Wipe off the contacts and make sure you insert them where the metal is facing the plastic tongue inside the USB plug that houses the metal connection. The watch will display a green charging indicator on its face. (It's easy to insert it upside down where it can't charge. 2. There's some combination of holding and pressing that displays the computer code (for me, accidentally) used for diagnosing issues (see picture). It's nothing. Just hold and press the select circle on the watch until it goes away. Original review: I like everything about how this looks and its functions. I'm just really sad that it quit working after a month. It won't charge any more.

This is a simple and practical watch, ideal for those who want to track steps, calories, and sleep without needing a cell phone or app. It is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use, making it great for beginners or people who prefer basic technology. The battery lasts about 5 to 7 days, and charging is done directly via USB, which is very convenient. The display shows the main information clearly, and the watch is also water-resistant for daily use.

All the functions take a lot of "fingering". The watch is most used, but is still inconvenient. The "step count" feature misses counted steps. The device must be recharged every three days, whereas a regulary battery powered watch will last 5 years. Why are we making life more complicated???

I have been using this watch for 10 days since I got it and it’s amazing! It really help me to track steps through out the day, the calories I burn at the gym and it’s super easy to set up! I really recommend this watch. Also it matches with my gym outfits 🤩💓

This watch is great is far as how it fits and its build. It also tracks your sleep pretty well, but the step tracking is horrendous. No matter how I programmed in my parameters, it only measures roughly half the walking distance. I am aware of the fact that you have to walk 20 or so steps, but after you get moving and it starts counting, I notice that it will lose a few steps here and there. Also, you need to put in you STRIDE length and not your STEP length for it to measure close to properly. It's not really clearly denoted in the instructions. I kind of think the distance and step tracking is either a software bug or that the sensor is only partially working. Other reviews are either great or scathing and I think it's a situation where you have good working ones and not so good working ones. Probably a quality control issue. These cheaper watches are like playing the lottery as to what you will get. This one is no different. It really hurts to say these things, because I love the fit and finish. I don't even feel it most of the time I wear it. Just wish the accuracy was there. Sad really.

Not sure if mine was faulty but I noticed that it did not track my steps consistently. I wanted a pedometer/watch that didn’t require an app to keep track, and I was really excited to find this! I set the step distance to 24” (2 feet) at first, then 18” (1.5 feet), and then 12” (1 foot) to test the unit. I kept it at 12” for a month and purposely went on a daily walk doing the same exact route/distance to test it. The results were quite different. I tested it by swinging my arm (where I wore it) and counting the steps I took, and it would only count some of my steps some of the time. I tested it along with my phone’s pedometer and again, different results. I tried strapping it to my shoe and wearing it for a whole day and the results were really “off”. I noticed that it would do a better job of counting steps when the unit was pressed tight against my wrist, but I prefer to not feel like my wrist is being strangled in order to get an accurate read. I charged it every few days when the battery icon showed it was more than halfway down from full, and noticed that it would show a bunch of super small print on the screen quite often, which would only go away after I pulled it out of the wrist strap and plugged it into the power block - even if it didn’t need to be charged. Odd! I was basically wearing it just as a watch after discovering the inaccuracy of the pedometer feature (which is what I bought it for, grrr) but the screen would default to it’s “tiny print” mode more and more often. It has become a nuisance having to pop it out and “reset” it basically every day in the past week, that I no longer wear it at all. Disappointing.
