Razer Nabu X Smartband

I've used my Nabu X every day for over a year now and the short review is I love it and highly recommend it. Read on if you want my opinion on all the different features...Okay, as most of what I have to say about the Nabu X is positive with 3 small potential issues and 1 actual negative point, let's start with the 1 negative...~ The charger is unique to the Nabu X so if you lose it, break it, or are like me and just like having a spare charger, you need to contact Razer to buy another.The small potential issues...~ The clasp is the same kind used on a lot of smartbands. It's fine for running and most daily activities, but it can easily catch on things and open. My solution is to put a fabric wristband over it for things like gigs. This does hide the LEDs but the vibration patterns are customisable so I know what notifications are without looking.~ If you get the green band it can be difficult to tell the difference between the green and blue LEDs. But you don't have to order the green band and you can customise the LED and vibration patterns so that this isn't a problem for you.~ This is probably true of all smartbands, but on the very rare occasion the Nabu X needs troubleshooting the last step if everything else fails is to reset it. If you have to reset it, any data it hasn't synced to the app will be lost. I don't think anyone would lose much data if they have to reset the Nabu X because the minimal display means you can only see basic progress of your main daily goal without looking at the app. So you're probably going to look at the app a few times a day and manually syncing is as simple as swiping the screen when looking at the app.Now for the positives...~ It's lightweight and comfortable to wear.~ The band can be adjusted to fit wrist sizes from small children to massive body builders.~ The tracker can be easily removed from the band if you want to use a different band.~ You can set the Nabu X to give notifications from every app on your phone that sends notifications.~ The notification alerts are customisable. There's 3 LEDs on the display and each one can be set to red, green, blue, or off, so you can have different colour combinations for every kind of notification and don't have to have all 3 LEDs lit for every notification. There's only 5 vibration patterns to pick from so you might want to have the vibration pattern tell you the type of notification and the LEDs to be more specific. For example I have 1 vibration pattern for alarms, 1 for calls, 1 for messages that are likely to be important, 1 for other messages, and 1 for random other apps like games.~ It stores data for up to 5 days so if you can't get a signal or want to turn your bluetooth and data connection of to save phone battery, you don't have to worry about syncing.~ App is really easy to use.~ Nabu X is really easy to use.~ Data is accurate although if you sit very still when watching films or you take the Nabu X off in the shower it's gonna register you as sleeping.~ It is showerproof.~ The gaming features are great although they do require others to be using a smartband or watch from the Nabu range to be of use.I have been thinking about getting the Nabu watch because it has a buckle and a private message screen. But I have very small wrists so a watch that bulky might be uncomfortable. There's also a Nabu smartband with OLED screen and magnet clasp, but it isn't adjustable so probably won't fit tiny wrists.

This smartband is the perfect accompaniment for your phone whether it be iPhone or Android. With simple, discreet notifications and silent alarms, this device will be your best friend in no time at all.Pros:Simple designElegant looksCustomisable notificationsSilent alarmsCons:No screenGets dusty very easilySet up is a little confusingCharging port is Razer’s own design so getting a spare / replacement cable will be difficultConclusionIn conclusion, the Razer Nabu X is the perfect wristband for those who want notifications on their wrists, without the over-exaggerated screens or bright displays of the smart watches on the market. this device will track your sleep, movement and give you notifications and with a silent alarm function, this band will be your best friend in no time at all.

I've had 2 of these so far and neither one lasted more than a fortnight, they're totally inaccurate, the other morning I had apparently took 34 steps before I got out of bed, sent the first one back to razer cos it was faulty, had to wait 2 months before I received a new one, then that one stopped working after 2 weeks, load of garbage, avoid like the plague

My son loves it! Even though it wasn't the high priced one that has a watch face, it does all the other things that the expensive one does and he's got a watch for telling the time after all! Great item and the charge lasts for ages. Its been charged once in three weeks and worn continuously since Christmas!

unlike a lot of the low end units, this band tracks the usual things steps, miles, calories and active, but also automatically tracks sleep and gives sleep, restless and awake breakdown,

I bought it as a Christmas gift for my 20 yo son and he's had massive amounts of problems setting it up!

Really not happy with this bought it has a present for Christmas for my brother in law and it hasn't work and because we try it on Christmas it's out of 30 days to take it back lost the money really disappointed don't buy this item.

Band is nice I have it for more than I year now I think and it is good. The biggest issue for me is that mobile app is often not reading the band, resting the data and disconnecting without a reason. Band overall is good but companion app I very bad.
