Bellabeat LEAF - Health Tracker/Smart Jewelry (Newer Model Available)

Hi everyone! I want to tell my personal experience with the Leaf from that I got, cause I find very helpful reviews, so this is mine:I've been using my leaf for a month and a half now and I am happy with it. At first I bought it because I was wondering how much do I move in a normal day, without doing sports without having to wear a plastic ugly thing. And it works very good! I can always wear it and I think is genius the clip thing! Its so useful when you just want a change.I can check after going to work how was my walk home and it tells it pretty precisely. With the app (very easy to use) you can set how much do you want to move a day, and it can be set without having to check on the computer or whatever :) that, I think is what I like the most . For the sleeping sensor, it tracks pretty accurate when im actually sleeping and when I'm just laying in my bed. Some times it gets confused but mostly it’s right. As I’m kind of a lazy person, I used to wear just rings earrings and a couple of bracelets that I never take off, even in showers. Although the leaf is not waterproof, I got used pretty fast to taking it away for the shower! I guess that I would rather have such a nice design waterproof, or maybe with protective case, so I don't have to unwear it, but it's ok. I usually wear it as a necklace, but for some days, that I prefer just to wear it as a waist clip or clipped on my t-shirt and I'm happy that I it doesn't make me allergic. At first I was worried about the skin allergies as I have a sensitive skin (I have to buy everything anti allergic earrings, creams and so on) and the leaf doesn't give me any skin problem.When I go to the gym, although that I know it can stand a little sweat, sometimes I get scared that its going to break because of the sweat, but it has survived well so far :)

This is a really pretty piece of jewelry and I would have been tempted to buy it for its aesthetic value alone, but the added technology was genius! However, I found out that technology still has some bugs. The app I downloaded to my iPhone would crash on me and the LEAF didn't always want to sync on the first try... or three. The step tracker caught only 50-60% of the steps which I logged on another app on my iPhone (and I was constantly wearing the LEAF as opposed to setting my phone aside on occasion so it should have recorded more with the LEAF) plus the sleep analysis was also inconsistent and the app was glitchy when I tried to manually input my asleep/awake times. I found my current iPhone sleep app offers much more usable data. I wore the leather bracelet only one day and it was becoming discolored from rubbing against my jeans and seemed to be stretching out from constant pulling caused by the weight of the LEAF. It also felt cumbersome because of the bulky LEAF design which isn't well supported by a thin leather strap, though I'll confess I'm not accustomed to wearing bracelets so that may have been my perception. I clipped it directly on my pajama top overnight and I didn't notice it at all as I slept. I tried it on the neckline of a knit top during the day, but it made it awkwardly bunch and hang low in the front due to the weight of the LEAF. I clipped it to the inside waistband of my pants but was afraid of losing whenever I had to use the bathroom since it would nearly slide off. I'd be afraid to clip it to the bottom of a top as I don't see that it would be secure enough, though it is offered as a suggestion in their promotion of the LEAF. I never unpackaged the necklace so can't speak to that. I'm thankful for Amazon's awesome return policy, of which I took full advantage. Hopefully Bellabeat will make improvements and I'll give it another try! I really do think it's about time for form and function to meet.

Tracker looks nice but does have a lot of syncing issues. Most days it is fine but sometimes it is a battle to get it to work. Overall, the app could use some work. They have had some useful updates recently but it would be nice to have some more detail with the sleep tracker and possibly a place to record food and exercise.Update: Has gone from being ok to awful. Sometimes does not track steps at all, used it alongside my husbands tracker and it is off by several THOUSAND steps. I have submitted several requests to Bellabeat for support and have heard nothing. I've given up wearing it and apparently the return policy on it has now changed from 90 days to 30 days overnight....
