Better than Fitbit Charge 4
I recently bought the FitBit Charge 4 for my wife and I as soon as it was released a few months ago. It was so sporadic with the GPS and was more of a entertainment device than actually helping me improve my health and wellness. She enjoyed the simplicity of it but even the steps were so off that it wasn’t worth keeping.I was researching the Unite and Ignite but ultimately decided on the Unite since it was cheaper and when I do run outside I always have my phone on me for connected GPS.. The fitness metrics and heart rate are extremely accurate and the recommendations on my daily workouts with the FitSpark feature are worth their weight in gold.This is probably the lightest watch I have ever worn and I haven’t taken it off since I got it. It is pretty stylish with a full color touch screen which has already been mistaken for an Apple Watch by a few people. The charging port is pretty unique as it clips right back into the watch and then you plug it in via USB. I also purchased a separate wrist band for this (as they are interchangeable) for when I am going out rather than having a sweaty band on me.I am pretty happy with this so far – my treadmill workouts have been pretty accurate and the HR is spot on.

I like it so far
First, when choosing something like this, always check the manufacturer’s web site for details. Don’t just read the product description. There are usually even manuals. This listing implies that the watch has GPS. It doesn’t. It uses your phone. That’s not a bad thing unless you won’t carry your phone with you. I think most of us carry our phone with us.Who am I? I’m a 66-year-old retired truck driver. I’m recovering from 23 years of sitting and holding a steering wheel 8-11 hours a day, one major surgery, and several minor procedures. I don’t run. I don’t cycle (yet). I walk, and plan to get back to weight training once I’m released to do so. I’m 5′ 11″ and I’ve weighed just under 250 pounds for the past 30 years, though I’ve lost about 20 pounds since June. I expect to get back up to walking at least 2 miles a day. I hope to get down to 200 pounds over the next year. I expect to keep my BP below 120. It was up to 140 earlier in the year. So, I’m old, fat, out of shape, and injured.Why the Unite? I wanted a heart rate monitor I could wear while walking. And, I didn’t want to keep looking at my phone to keep track of how far I’d walked. It was that simple. I’ll have my phone with me, so I don’t need GPS. The Polar Flow app uses my phone’s GPS to track route and distance. I didn’t want most of the features of a “Smart Watch”. I didn’t want to pay for a subscription to keep track of what my phone itself is capable of tracking. I don’t even understand why that’s considered a service. It does allow viewing data using a browser, for free. Sleep monitoring is a plus. Simplicity is too. This is a KISS fitness tracker.So, if you want to brag about how great your Smart Watch is, or how expensive it is, this isn’t it. It’s not a fashion statement. It’s a tool. If you want to monitor your fitness progress, this is a good choice. I’ve only worn it one day and one night, and I can already tell it’s exactly what I wanted. I’ve been playing with “tech” longer than most buyers have been alive. I started programming a “personal computer” using hexadecimal Z-80 machine code in 1982 as a hobby. This was for my own physical health, not another toy. I wanted function, not to impress someone else. I’ll update this in a week or two with my thoughts on how well it tracks my walks.

Battery issues, but otherwise it worked pretty well
I bought this watch about a year ago and wanted to put a review out there because I just felt pretty disappointed overall and wanted others to have this information. The heart rate monitoring is very accurate, I tested it against my polar telemetry strap and it was pretty much spot on every time. The sleep tracking is pretty good, though like with anything of that nature it’s better if you use it all the time, which I didn’t because I hated wearing it all night. I never liked the way the wrist strap connected, it was just awkward but I did get used to it. The main things I disliked were the battery, the app and the way you select between different exercises. The app is cumbersome and hard to use, and VERY slow to sync with the watch so I rarely used it. Selecting between pre-selected exercises on the watch was clunky, you swipe left or right to pick things like “walking” or “stationary cycling” but it’s so touchy that I would accidentally select the wrong one if I wasn’t careful. Kind of drove me crazy. But the reason I’m now going to buy a different watch is that the battery just seemed to have issues all the time. I use this every day for my workouts and tracking my time walking my dog every night so it’s heavily used – but hey, that’s what these are for, right? So just a few weeks in to using it and then for the last year I noticed that some days, even after a full charge overnight I would put it on and it would just go black, no response. I finally figured out that I had to charge it again because somehow the watch was dead. Maybe it wasn’t charging right or something? And when that happens it looses it’s saved time and I have to resync it. Overall it’s not a terrible watch and much cheaper than some of the other ones out there but unfortunately it just didn’t seem worth the money with all the downsides. I wouldn’t recommend it if you are going to use it all the time. Get something more expensive that will hold up and last.
