I kept waking up knackered and didn't want to strap anything to my wrist at night, so I went looking for something under the mattress. The sleep tracking mat was the sensible option and worked out cheaper than a watch with the same features. It picks up my sleep cycles and the app gives a simple score each morning. Setup took five minutes and it hasn't needed charging once, which is a relief.
Read moreNeeded a home blood pressure monitor after the doctor suggested it, so I bought one from the site. The first unit kept dropping the Bluetooth connection to the app, which meant readings going missing. I had to contact support and it took nearly a week to get a replacement sorted. The replacement works but the whole thing was more faff than I expected.
Read moreI am very pleased with the blood pressure monitor I bought for myself after my husband's heart trouble. The readings are easy to follow and the app sends them to my daughter as well, which puts her mind at rest. The cuff is gentle on the arm and the whole thing was simple to set up with the instructions provided. I would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend, and I have already done so.
Read moreThe scale itself was the first thing I noticed, it's solid and the readings are consistent day to day. Setting up the app took longer than I wanted though, it kept asking me to re-enter my details and the pairing failed twice before it connected. Once it was going it's fine and worth the money compared with the gadgets I looked at.
The screen on the watch is smaller than I expected from the photos, so reading the notifications takes a second look. Otherwise it does the step count and heart rate fine and the battery lasts a few days. Delivery was quick and the strap fits. Just bear in mind the display is quite small.
I needed something to track my weight after my doctor's advice and the scale does give accurate readings. The app is fiddly though and it took a few tries to link the scale to my account. Once it was set up it has been reliable. Not the most intuitive experience.
