Update (July 7, 2024): I have used many watches like this and all had a feature to update the firmware. I never, ever received a firmware update before this watch. It actually updated and fixed the one thing I didn't like (the snooze feature)! Yay! I am adding the extra star for this! Now my favorite watch.
————————–
I got this FitPolo smartwatch when it was listed at $24, a very nice price. It is almost identical to my go-to watch.
It looks good, very apple-ish. It has the 'stem' button that turns on the screen, takes you to the features or, when held, calls up Alexa. Awesome! You can make calls from the watch via an on-screen dial pad. You can answer calls on the watch. You can read headers to your emails, and most of a text message. You can set quiet time so as not to be disturbed at night. The usual wake-on-wrist-turn is here too, with the advantage that it turns off when you put your arm down. You can set how long the screen stays on. I am almost a week in with the watch and I still have 44% left on the first charge.
A feature I really like is that you can do many things, like setting new alarms, right on the watch. All other models I have used required that you use your phone to do this. One feature this has that my other watch does not, is a snooze feature. Some might like this, but I find it a problem. The issue is that pressing the stem button is snooze. You have to look at the screen and select the right button to turn the alarm off without snooze. I suppose that really wakes you up, but I would like the option to disable the snooze feature.
There are many, many faces to choose from both free and paid. It was easy to pick out some I love.
The strap is a traditional watch strap. I would swap it for a velcro sport strap.
This is a well designed watch well worth the $50 listing. Since it also had a $15 coupon, it was outstanding! Nice!

Top notch watch!
Watch is great! Easy to use and pair with my iPhone. Only took 30 minutes to fully charge. I was able to customize my own watch face much easier than my last watch! It does everything an Apple Watch does at a third of the price! Great value!

Remarkable technology in user-friendly package
Arrived as promised, seems to work well, still learning and installing many of the features. Likes: long battery life and waterproof performance. Heart rate monitoring is good (quick, easy, seemingly accurate) but I wish it gave blood pressure readings. Overall it promises to be very useful at a fair price.

Great watch – serves the purpose
I have ordered 3 watches, one for me, my husband and my father. We are so happy to wear it everywhere and anywhere. Very easy set up and easy to use. Classy look and feel. Very lightweight.It has great features like heart rate monitor, spO2, stress level. Battery life is also appreciable.Def value for money.

Greatly exceeded my expectations
I am pleasantly surprised at this watch. FITPOLO ID208 PLUS. Iwas a bit leary since I hadn’t heard of this company but, it got pretty good reviews.First of all, the screen is clear for my eyes even without glasses and the faces can easily be changed but I decided the original one is good for me.Secondly, the health functions are all great. I got this watch to start tracking overall heart rate and O2 during the day and cycling and walking. I set them to constantly monitor and it does a great job at both. It reads heartbeat every 5 minutes and O2 every 20 minutes all day and very surprised that battery life holds for about a week. The data is easy to get to and it can alert me to highs and lows immediately.An added bonus is the sleep tracking. It gave me lots of data and has graphs you can check if you want. It also has nice explanations of the data with embedded links that you can click on if you want to delve deeper into each function. I did not realize I would even pay attention to that but I like seeing correllation between deep sleep stages and heart rate and waking at night.I don’t use the phone function very often but I have answered and made quik calls on it and asked if sound was good and they say yes. Speaker is tiny tho sound is adequate. I also tried the camera control and it worked great. ( Another function I didn’t think I might want )Altogether, this is way better than I expected and I am glad I chose this watch/ health monitor.Only thing I would like is google assistant instead of alexa, but I can make it work.I give this watch a 10 for greatly exceeding my expectations which not many things do nowadays.

Great heart monitor watch
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have had this watch for 3 days now. I purchased the watch to track my heart a-fib issues, and it has given me an alarm twice for my heart readings. The watch is everything that was in the offer, and it all works great.It is a very good watch for the money. The warranty is 2 years better than any other watch offered on Amazon.More then happy with my purchase.

Good Watch!
So far so good, I really like it. I’m a previous Fitbit owner for years but the price was just to much so I looked for something else. For my purpose this is comparable and looks nice. Battery life could be better but it’s not bad.

Poor Customer Support
This watch worked really well for the first seven months I had it. It functioned just as it said it would and survived the intense heat of the summer when I bought. The Amazon Alexa feature was easy to set up and the app is fairly self explanatory. I bought the watch in July of last year and it held up pretty well. For the low cost it does a very good job.However, for the past four months there have bee countless issues: the watch will not properly sync to the app even when I follow the handbook instructions, the watch will completely reset all my fitness data from the day multiple times each day, the screen won’t turn on when I click the button, and it has stopped consistently charging. The band is also difficult to clean and it collects dust and dirt super easily. I tried to reach out to their customer support about a month ago and I never got a response.

Reasonably priced sport watch
So happy with this purchase. Works amazing. I’ve been putting off any type of health watch (so many are so expensive). This is reasonably priced, tracks my steps and sleep patterns. But the phone feature is something to be desired…people say I sound like an alien when I answer thru the watch. Other than that, I am really happy with this purchase.

Molto bello, funzionale e con tante funzioni, il quadrante grande come desideravo. Si sente e si parlo benissimo quando arriva una telefonata.

I have used a bunch of smartwatches in the past few months and I really like this one. First, the app was super easy to download and use; it paired immediately with my phone with no trouble. The screen is bright and big, and picking the face I wanted was super easy on the app. The band is actually quite soft and doesn’t irritate my skin, which has happened with other silicone straps. The battery lasts somewhere between 5-6 days depending on how much I use it; the charger is a small end that snaps to the back of the watch and lays on the table, and it charges in a couple hours. I get calls when my phone is on a different floor in the office, which is awesome. The features are pretty standard, steps, heart rate, oxygen, exercise, that sort of thing. They are all reasonably accurate; I wear the watch a bit loose on my arm so occasionally I have to stop moving for all the readings to complete. Overall I think this is a great buy for the price, and I actually got it in white and moss green. Definitely recommend!

Nice looking watch. I have tried a number of these fitness watches over the last year and this one is quite nice looking. It’s not too bulky, it feels just the right size even on small thin wrists.The app which Ir works with has improved over the last year and is used by many watch manufacturers I’ve noticed. It is detailed in all areas and very detailed on sleep analysis which I don’t use all the time but some weeks I like to see how my sleeping cycles are, and it’s excellent at tracking this information.The screen is bright and responsive.The band feels soft and comfortable.My favorite feature – it works with Alexa! This is a great feature if you have a home Alexa environment as I do. I welcome all products that can successfully pair and function with Alexa.
