That’s wrong. I bought one of these from Woot the last time they were here (about a month ago), and have had it connected to my Galaxy S4 since.
Commentary I can make after using it:
The two-peg closure on the band is surprisingly solid during the day-to-day, but you will catch it on things and pull the band off your wrist not infrequently.
Keeping the app running (to access text message forwarding and call notifications via buzz and writing to your wrist) is pretty hurtful to your battery. Android on my GS4 highlights it as a “high battery user” and puts a phone that is usually at about 55% by 6pm into 35% by 6pm.
The band itself will last weeks on a charge.
The band doesn’t seem to disconnect bluetooth particularly often. When it does, it’s about 50/50 whether the app will find the band on its own or require you to use the easy-to-find, quick pairing function from the band.
I have not yet compared the band’s step counting function with my full Garmin GPS / HR monitor setup (Forerunner 305) for accuracy, but there is a calibration function on the Soleus to let it know that an exercise session is a particular distance.
I’m not particularly interested in putting my activity on social media, so Soleus’ lack of support there isn’t an issue in my use.
The sleep measurement is very cool. I have no way to confirm that it is accurate or not, but the app will build cool graphs of your sleep habits if you use the feature. You can also use it to quietly wake you up around your alarm time when it detects that you’re in light sleep. I find that to be magical, as it always buzzes either right when I realize my eyes are open anyway, or I wake up without needing to hit the snooze.
Finally (and I wasn’t expecting this and can’t figure out when / what activity it detects to do this) . . . sometime the band will vibrate and you look down and it’s telling you to smile! That’s always a nice pick-me-up, as corny as it sounds.
EDIT: One last thing. I have fairly skinny wrists (6 3/4" by my tailor’s tape) and the molded portion of the band fits comfortably across the top of my wrist. I have 2 additional holes with which I could lengthen the band, and 4 holes to shorten it. Hope that helps anyone trying to size!
