ViLive Reviews

by Molliep2010

For starters - when setting the watch up I followed the directions step by step and have it correctly linked to my phone’s Bluetooth...

The band with sync to my phone and display the correct time, etc. but literally every 5 minutes it’ll un-sync, give me a message saying, “Hello” and then have the wrong time until I manually go into ViLive on my phone and re-sync it. Then 5 minutes it’ll do the same thing.

I realize this product was only $10 but I still expect it to work better than this because at this point I literally spent $10 on a rubber bracelet for my wrist.

After the update better, it's actually a great watch, but one problem is that the smart alarm does not make any sound or buzz; like it does for the reminder to stand it will buzz your wrist, but for the smart alarm it just appears on the watch at the time of the set alarm, but no sound or tactile buzz which is highly disappointing, it doesn't work correctly.

The only other thing I wish ViLive would record the O2 reading as it does the other vitals. My watch can measure O2 saturation.

The instructions printed are for an earlier app version, I don’t mind this since I was able to connect my device easily. My biggest problem is that HR and BP are on my screen, but once I connect my device they disappear from ViLive and I cannot seem to program them. The new update seems to have a glitch where it won't show my heart rate or blood pressure! Please fix!

I don’t even have the activity button on the bottom of my homepage and I can’t set my birthday or other information because when I click it it just is blank and doesn’t allow me to type anything in. I connected it to Bluetooth like everyone said to but I’m just missing some key features I’d like to have. If anyone has any tips please let me know I have the 1.5 updated version.

It’s pretty good for ten bucks. Still runs except it stopped giving me messages alerts. I’m rly mad about that because that was like my favorite feature. I tried shutting it down, charging it, disconnecting from my phone then reconnecting, none of it works.

Can someone explain why I don’t have sports mode on mine? I just downloaded it yesterday. Version 1.3. Where is the sports mode section? Isn’t it supposed to track my heart rate and blood pressure? Sheesh. Oh well. It’s still a good enough deal for $10. I just wish I could unsync my messages. I was asleep and it woke me up vibrating. I had no idea what it was so it was also kind of frightening. Hahaha.

So when I got my watch I was super excited,but when I got it my cousin got one too because she really liked mine. And we FaceTimed the other day and when I sended her texts it would go through her watch and mine would not so I want you how to go to tell me how I can Connect it to my device so I will get messages on my watch too. But otherwise I really like the watch

I bought it from a local business, 7 bucks.
I got home and plugged it in and turned it on, but I had a hard time following the instructions? A lot of the buttons weren’t appearing on the screen as they should. ViLive didn’t have a settings option or anything!!

Ok so I bought this yesterday let it charge downloaded ViLive and it was fine. I come to look at some reviews and a main problem for everyone was the setup to the Bluetooth but really it was easy you set it up through ViLive anyway my problem is it is not taking my steps please give me an answer

I just got this today from Target for $10. I was only needing a watch to tell time but I saw this for only $10 and thought, why not? The only thing that I don’t like is that it’s been charging for about 45 mins now and when I uncharge it, it goes off “bye bye” how long does it take this thing to charge? I know for sure it doesn’t have to be fully charged to work because I connected it to my Bluetooth already. That was really easy. For those having trouble, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.... I saw one review stating that it tells you your text messages. I don’t think that that is true but I will update when it actually is done charging 12 months from now 🙄 Another thing, it has an option to shake for a selfie (inside ViLive only) that’s actually pretty neat and the picture quality is just like an iPhone. Just won’t have portrait mode. ViLive itself seems to work just fine. It also has alarms and vibrate. That’s really cool. I’m hoping that this actually works and last for a while. Fingers crossed.

Obviously you’re limited to what you can do on this watch compared to more expensive watches. I just needed a watch to tell time and vibrate when I get texts. I had no issues when connecting. Just follow the steps. Doesn’t vibrate too loud, so it’s perfect in a quiet class. “Shake to selfie” seems to only work when you open the camera function in ViLive and not for iPhone camera app.

In the long run, for only $10, I’m very happy with what I got. I recommend this only if you’re looking for something simple and not something that has many functions (Apple Watch).

OKAY EVERYONE, READ THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING CONNECTION ISSUES:

Do NOT connect your device to your phone first in the Bluetooth section. If you already did, go into Bluetooth and click Forget This Device.

NOW: Go into ViLive and click to search for the device, it will show up! As long as you connect to Bluetooth THROUGH ViLive . Not in your phone settings!

by Soooo Hot Girl

I had the same problem cause I had an old one and it tried to connect to that on
1. Uninstall ViLive
2. Then forget ViLive
3. Reinstall ViLive and make sure to look at the part number

Whatever Bluetooth thing I got nothing worked until I went to target and got this watch for only $10! It works great I’ve never had a problem with it except I never know if it’s done charging or not well so far I don’t know but other than that it’s amazing I never got anything better!

I went to Target and was looking for a watch anyway and saw this for 10 bucks and it is amazing! Not Apple Watch Amazing but like Fit Bit for 10 bucks amazing. Once I figured everything out like the charging which I put in the wrong way; and how to get to different screens on it; I realized I got a really good watch. I’ve seen other reviews and it seems that everyone just has to figure it out. But I agree that the instructions should be more detailed and HELPFUL! But other than those things this is a good watch.

by Pplnt

I got it to work I only paid 10$ for something that works now that’s a deal I would pay ten dollars for a real working Fitbit instead of paying 200$ for something that is the same I found it at target buy it

by DonJauns

ViLive it’s self could use polish but I’ve used it for a week now and it just works. I don’t really understand these people on here complaining so much because the thing is easy to use and easy to reset if you have issues, probably just people not able to understand Bluetooth and such.

But it does have minor functions like vibrate to alarm and other stuff, hoping that gets me out of bed lol!

Hope they update often!

by Poeio

So I spend 40 or more minutes but I was having trouble connecting it but once I got it I was happy because it worked and it fixed everything so I am happy with this product this is worth $10 😊

by Real Reviewer Girl

I bought this at target just because I was looking for something to count my steps and when I saw it for only $10 I was quite sure it wouldn’t work extremely well but I bought it anyways. When I came hone and set it up, I was confused at first but after I got the hang of it, it was shocking! It works just like a Fitbit and even shows notifications on the watch! It is so compact and easy and I love it!

Do not connect device through phones setting Bluetooth. If you have, click “forget device” but leave Bluetooth on. Go to app and let ViLive search your watch! ViLive will immediately find it and therefore set the displayed time on the watch correctly.

It works fine connected and everything but I prefer to use military time and so I looked at the setting and got disappointed when there was no time option. Other wise it’s great
