Not worth the trouble – It worked until it lost a bluetooth connection. I rebooted it and it started with a screen below. There are no options to boot it properly from there. If you hold the power button, it give three options: reboot, power off, reset. You can choose any and it goes back to the same screen, dead end. After multiple tries I learnt that it needs to be… Read more

fully charged to boot properly. Well, it worked and I didn't reboot it again for a while. However, with daylight savings I needed to reboot it to connect to the app. This is the only way to change time. That is it! It no longer boots properly even fully charged. I always get the screen below. Is there any way to get out of this circle?

Equal To The Expensive Ones – Had the watch for a month now (bought for $50 from Aldi in Sep2023) and it's a great little piece of kit and does everything the more expensive ones do. The heart monitor and bp are reasonably accurate as is the sleep time recording. It suits the purpose of giving you a 'general' idea of heart rate and sleep times, and is pretty accurate for… Read more

exercise times and distance. The interchangeable bands are easy to use, the recharger is easy and all in all I'm glad I didn't spend $250+ on a "brand name" watch. I don't use any of the messaging or music functions.

Very suspicious about this watch – Was given this watch as a gift and from the day I installed the Glory Fit App and started using the watch, I started receiving increasing numbers of unrequested Google verification code messages on my phone (up to 20 per day at its worst). I eventually deleted the app and turned off the phone and the unrequested Google codes stopped. Am I being paranoid? Not sure, but won't be using the watch again.

It’s an absolute piece of crap, not even worth $10 Takes forever to start , touch screen is like a hit and miss you don’t know what you gonna get The watch goes to sleep and so you just got two… Read more

Some bugs annoy – Until yesterday I had a choice of 100 watch faces. Now, it's gone back to the 20 that were originally available. I prefer a date setting in the universally ( non USA) accepted format (d/m/y) but these now not available. The choice of watch face only lasted a few days anyway before reverting to generic original. Sleep record function very unreliable but otherwise it's worth what was paid; ie, not a lot.

Almost everything works as expected – Purchased about 1 month ago. Almost everything works as expected. Change of watch face isn’t permanent otherwise it is fine. All features work and are surprisingly accurate. Show details

Very buggy and disappointed – Very buggy in IOS. Fails to monitor most features most of the time. Parts of the app just outright crash on opening. Limited customization and watch faces. Battery life is good. Most likely because it’s not doing anything it’s supposed to. Has potential but failed in execution. The app clearly needs more regular updating and action from the developers working on the input from the community. Show details

This smart watch isnt a watch or smart. Its a Chinese communist spy gadget – I bought this watch this arvo and I can tell ya it's going straight back asap tomorrow morning. the app basically says once u click on the agreement button your privacy is nil and void.u have to give permissions to just about everything on ya fone that has nothing to do with the time or fitness or anything else on the so called"smartwatch" like… Read more

your contacts and other way too personal info and access.ive had other bauhn smartwatchs and they had nothing like this.i thought bauhn was German or European, I didn't realise or know it is Chinese owned or affiliated.im not politically minded but I do know the C.C.C.P(CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY) Has pulled these dirty tricks to steal/trick u out of data they will use for other purposes before,(tiktok being one of them vessels of deceit, the fundo health app being another.)asio and the australian government should be notified of this immediately, immediately and this product should,no,has to be banned in this country. Very sneaky, very very sneaky.Dont think I'll be buying bauhn in the future and will be very wary and looking a hell of a lot closer at all my future electronic (and other product's)purchases in the future. Very very sneaky....Indeed!!!!!!Oh and I wouldn't have even given it a one star rating but this review site requires a 1 to 5 star rating b4 posting. Very poor product, very deceitful product.Ida flushed it down the toilet but aside from being harmful to environment it also would be disrespectful to said toilet!!!

Sleep monitor not functioning at all – Have exchanged first watch and second one is the same. Sleep monitor can not get enabled either automatic or manual as minimum info in the manual, called after sale centre and they still have no idea how to. Search google and no luck. Will return it to ALDI for refund. Show details

Reasonable value if it keeps working – I bought this watch yesterday and it appears to be working well after a very easy setup procedure. Unfortunately, these watches don't come with a charger and the required charger has to suit the watch's charging base, which can handle an input of only 5v / 200 mA. Alas, it seems that such a low power charger is available only from overseas.

Absolute garbage - cheap Chinese trash – Not even a decent dumb watch... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! There is no way to set the correct time on this watch - every other watch on the planet (including smart watches) has the means to directly set the correct time - not this one apparently. I mean it's kind of the definition of a watch - the ability to keep correct time. Seriously? A watch… Read more

instruction manual which makes absolutely no reference to setting the time!? The manual actually makes no mention at all of how to set the correct time on the watch even though the time and date shown on the watch out of the box is way incorrect.. So I rang so called Tempo customer support and all I got is some off shore call centre with someone who spoke terrible English, parrotting the useless instruction manual back to me, which I'd already read. Apparently the only way to set the time on this watch is to download an app to your phone, give this Chinese app permission to access all the personal data on your phone plus some more more personal ID details, then bluetooth link to your phone, hope that it retrieves the correct time from your phone - and after all that it still can't keep correct time and goes off wonky. The most useless piece of garbage I've ever seen at Aldi - it doesn't even function as a dumb watch. Now I know why they were throwing them out half price.
