Just before Christmas I was gifted a 3Plus Lite by my father
when I mentioned the Leaf tracker. He found this one on sale
and though it's not as pretty, he thought it would be a good tester
to see if I would really benefit from such an expensive tracker in
the future.
So how's this test run been working
out?
Short answer: Horribly. Don't ever buy
3Plus products.
Long answer: The watch itself seems functional at first glance (now with an actual 3Plus accuracy review) and I think it looks pretty nice too as it's
just a standard black band that doesn't clash with any every day
clothing I can possibly think of. It functions as a watch, counts
your steps in the way all wrist worn trackers do – registering arm
motion, not actual steps – and translates that into calories burned
and miles walked as long as you have accurate height and weight put
into the settings.
The battery life also seems acceptable,
only needing charged every 4 days or so. And charging seems to be
quick, showing that it's done after a shower.
But that all sounds great for the $30
price tag so what's wrong with it?
