GloryFit Reviews

by FFzAngel

Says it keeps track of stuff, but does it really? I go to sleep between 6-7 pm. Yet this thing insists every night that I don’t ‘go to bed/sleep until 10:30 or so. So I guess it wants me to think I meditate for hours before going to sleep. It also shows my heart rate up at 135, almost daily when I’m not even hardly moving or feeling anything out of the ordinary.
According to what this crap, I meditate a lot, sleep very little, and about have a heart attack every day.
It’s calculated numbers are a joke.
It does tell time well, tho. 🤷‍♀️

GloryFit fails to consistently record steps in the walk feature when I do my walks. I average about 11k-12k daily. I will do 3 miles in one segment and then 2.5 in another for the day and often times I find it doesn’t record a single step in one of the segments yet records how many miles have been covered but no steps. Makes no sense. The main dashboard at least is accurate but it doesn’t transfer over to the weekly report which consistently says I’m under performing etc when it itself is under performing as a reliable app. The dev needs to fix this.

Worked pretty well when I first got it. At first I could change the watch faces but then suddenly stopped and it kept showing that it cannot connect to device. Couple months later it doesn’t sense I’m wearing it therefore cannot count steps, cannot provide heart rate or blood pressure. Also does not show weather even though it’s connected to my phone. I have reset several times, unpaired, disconnected and reconnected Bluetooth but nothing works. No help from anyone from this app. Had it less than 3 months. Garbage.

I purchased the gold tone watch and it is very handsome looking. Looking good is one thing, but functionality is another. I purchased this watch on July 8,2018. Just 2 months ago and already many of the functions are failing. The watch only displays one of the 4 time views and no longer displays ANY of the other functions!!! If there’s any saving grace, the phone app is still revealing the health calculations, so it seems the watch is still sending info to GloryFit . By the way, I bought my fiancé the black watch at the same time - wonder how long his will last???

The complaints about not being able to change your location for the weather is weird. When you’re setting it selected and stored the wrong location.

Not sure why all the options cannot be scheduled like the temperature can.

It’s an alright app to start with, but so far the developers don’t seem to be enhancing their product. Not sure why.

by Offended In Ark

Most of the text messages describing results contain incomprehensible sentences.
The process to report bugs doesn’t work. Won’t allow the sending of screen shots to show examples of non working feature.
Would be nice if the BP function reported as results other than 146 over 96. Location used for weather sometimes picks a town of the correct name but wrong county or state.

Every once in awhile the watch will light up when I lift my arm, but timing is only very occasional and erratic. Generally I must push the button on the top to make it light up. The systems it keeps track of, such as pulse and o2, are also showing up occasionally but often show nothing. But they sometimes will show. So not quite sure what is happening. But it does keep good time, I just have to hit the button on the top. I would love a clock face with a dragon.

I have been using the watch/app for about a month or so now.

I even checked bp and hr when I went to the dr office. They lined up close enough. Considering the cost of it all, I just wanted a ballpark.

However, there are a few things that need to be changed with GloryFit side.

One- hr only shows a few hours of the previous day, so you can’t compare your data the next day. It’s mainly an issue if your wanting to know more about how your heart is handling.

Two- gps on GloryFit /watch is a little off. I walked 3.5 miles one day, app said I did .77 miles. I have learned the watch is more accurate then the phone when it comes to miles/heart rate.

Three- there is just a little more information that would be nice to see on GloryFit . Like work out data, spo2, things like that.

Four- clock face changes too simple, on its own especially in the shower.

Five- don’t ever trust the weather

Besides these things, the watch/app are great. I would happily deal with the rest of these issues if they could increase the data of the heart rate information from the previous day. It’s my biggest problem with GloryFit/watch. But overall
For about $100+ it was not a bad purchase. Really pleased with the accuracy of heart rate and bp.

It’s ok for a cheap tracker, works similar to the name brand ones. I did turn off the SMS text alerts as they just continue to accumulate I could not erase them from the tracker even after they were erased from the phone. The phone alert works great and the Bluetooth stays connected which one other tracker I returned because it wouldn’t stay connected if I walked 10 feet away Could update the sleep module to work 24 hours a day as not everyone works day shift, it will not track if you sleep during the daytime. I also don’t think the step tracker is as accurate as the name brand but it isn’t off dramatically. The heart rate and blood pressure monitoring isn’t off by much at least for me as I know what my rate runs at it is fairly consistent. The battery lasts about 3 or 4 days. So all in all not bad for a cheap tracker.

Just needs a few updates… it can’t keep up with the weather changes and I’ve already allowed all access to and from my iPhone to the this app app. Please help other than that it’s really nice u can read the txt u receive and get a alert who is calling also… I love the fact u can customize the background on the watch or downloads different backgrounds for ur watch

by Dcjdinmn

Most complaints I see here are likely watch related and not the fault of GloryFit . App connects fine and enjoy trying out the many watch faces available. Im not big into fitness but would really like to look at the watch and be able to rely on temperature display. GloryFit only updates temperature when manually opening app and syncing with the watch. No option available to update lets say once an hour or so. Facebook & messenger updates work, skake to take pic works, seems that data that watch provides is displayed correctly.

I really like this watch. I had a SmartWatch but had a hard time seeing the screen when I was outside and the font was too small. I especially like being able to see the heart/bp/oxygen levels. The only reason I am hiving this a 4 instead of. 5 is because of the sleep portion. I work nights and sleep during the day most of the time. And it does not record my sleep if I sleep days instead of nights.
It would be nice if that change could be made.

by LummixITdude

I like the product and it has not let me down. I love bragging about the battery life. However, I wish when an incoming text come in, the font could be different so you can read it easier. There’s a lot of wasted space on the text screen as well. I wish the developer would modify this.

by Runforestrun2889

I really like this watch and application. I like the dial with the weather, battery life, steps, date and time. I wish it was a little bit more colorful. There is 51 different dials to choose from but not all of them has the weather listed on them. I don’t think the step counter is exactly accurate but I heard ALL smart watches are this way. My phone in my back pocket I believe is more accurate. So far it pairs up easily. I use it for my sleep and alarm and step counting. GloryFit works way better than a lot of applications. I’m impressed with it. I’m happy with my watch and application!!!

by Waterviolet

I feel that if a device and app has a weather option it should run better. GloryFit allows for a F or C temp reading but it does not communicate or translate it over to my device. Furthermore, the weather and temps are so far off the actual weather in my location it’s not even funny. I wish I could set my location up manually rather than by GPS/find my location.

by Ssheikhpk85

It’s very good watch that I have purchased a month ago, but I feel that there is little bit less feature that it did not shows the accurate battery %age, it only shows 75 , 50 , 25% not like other watches.
Can u please update next version of software which allows normal battery %age from 100 to 0 and also shows low battery warning

by Don.jerry

GloryFit offers all the settings you need, you can also change the the weather from Celsius to Fahrenheit, i have an Apple Watch and the heart rate is accurate, i will rate 5 stars and if developer is willing to improve GloryFit by fixing the weather to refresh more often, I dislike going directly to GloryFit to refresh it manually, other than that I am very satisfied.

by Cwsmith68

This is a good basic smart watch. The heart rate, pulse/oxygen, and blood pressure monitors work well most of the time. The sleep analysis is interesting as well. So far it seems accurate as to when I go to sleep, and awake throughout the night and in the morning. The selection of watch faces is good for a change of look. I use an elliptical for exercise and there is no associated setting in the sports section for such. The one time I used it on the elliptical, it seem to not track my heart correctly as compared to my elliptical’s sensors, but I think the watch was not tight enough at the time.

I love GloryFit/watch! Especially the weather feature, steps, and choice in watch faces!

I only have a few complaints/suggestions that would really up my rating:
1. Being able to choose which things are displayed on a custom watch face.
You can only see the date, time, and heart rate currently so it doesn’t really suit my needs although I love the ability to choose my own picture :(

2. Being able to choose which screens are where on the watch so that you can put your most used closest to the watch face.

3.being able to control music volume. It kind of destroys the purpose of the music player to have to pull out your phone to change the volume. I’d also appreciate it if it said the name of whatever you were listening to (like song name or audio book name)

4. Some of the watch faces say it’s sunny when it’s night. I’d prefer they were more accurate.

I came up with a peculiarity with my heart last week. I’m an older gentlewoman, and I thought that the description for GloryFit and the device would best suit my needs. I’m totally not interested in running to my death like a lemming but am concerned about whether my heart suddenly decides that 200 bpm at at rest is acceptable.
I can’t say I’ve figured it all out but I’ve managed to get the pulse measurements and the steps. Haven’t figured out how to access weather, or why the band cares about messages when I couldn’t answer them through it. Nor does the screen stay lit long enough to read them.... lol
But I’d say all in all it was a good investment and I should be able to figure out most of the rest of this.

Update November 2019: Newest app update crashes this app when attempting to log in. Unable to use.

October 2019: My watch (R11 plus 1619) still vibrates when receiving calls, but no longer vibrates when receiving texts/messages. I use an IPhone 8. This function stopped with the newest app update. 1 star until this is fixed because I purchased this watch and app specifically for vibration notifications at work. Can’t hear my phone on the job.

by Jamelton

This is a good ap at measuring distance and steps. It’s not accurate on some of the vital stats it purports to measure, such as heart rate and blood pressure. Hopefully, we can see an update that improves this function.

Another improvement I’d like to see is a weather function that is accurate (a problem with this ap) and includes Fahrenheit and not just Celsius.

I think this could be a very good ap with some tweaks and improvements, but I haven’t seen any updates in a long time.

by Rogmanace

GloryFit use to be awesome, but after the recent update its glitchy, has a much less appealing UI than before and has a few bugs now. One of which it will not save the selected unit of measure setting. No matter what you select, it remains in metric units. I have to downgrade my previous rating. I hope the developer will rectify these anomalies!

by Shawnee G

Love the watch. It is comfortable and easy to read. Blood pressure seems to be fairly accurate however sleep is not. I went to bed at 10:30 pm and it recorded I went into light sleep at 1:20am and showed I woke up at 6:15 am but I was already dressed at that time. Also it says up to 6 family members can use GloryFit but no instructions on how to activate family. If this gets fixed I would give it 5 stars.

by RobA1701

The activity tracker has great features for the price. It gives me everything I need without paying hundreds. There are some bugs. The display timeout doesn’t update. It’s stays 5 secs. Also, the BP data is not being written to Apple Health. I’ve sent bug reports to the developers.

by Bobdoob

GloryFit is great, and has a lot of great features. The last fitness tracker that I was using also you were able to remotely play music on your phone by hitting play on the fitness tracker and it also had an oxygen saturation measure to go along with the hr and bp features. Insane battery life. Dynamic read is a nice touch.

I feel like If those two features were added into the software it would be awesome.

Also, the time format is strange. I set clock for 12 hr - and after midnight it read, 00: minutes. Like 24 hour. So not sure what that’s about.

Maybe next firmware update you can look into these things?

by Dabriggy

Everything is perfect but the weather does not show on watch! Only the date! 5 stars if the weather would show instead of date. Just make it an option to use weather or date. Please fix thank you!

by Asif Siddiqi

Not sure as why so many people are having so many issues. I had none on both Andriod or iOS. The only thing missing is ability to make profile which keeps throwing "network time-out" error. Hence the 4 stars. Best health app for $22.

by Nuen6118

One major thing for me is that the vibration alerts seems to be very very light, to an extent of not even being noticeable. Is there a way to change this?

by Cpupastor

My needs are very simple: I was looking for a a fitness tracker that I could the display easily, and that would monitor my heart rate and steps. There is much more than that with this device ... but I very satisfied with those two things. Recommend!
