I honestly don't know. I will look around and see if I can find it. They seem to do their primary business via Amazon only, so I'm not sure if there is a way to ship internationally if they don't offer it. I'll let you know if I find something.
*I have had a Fitbit Altra for years but the battery was not lasting **bestgym.equipment** Ordered the Charge 5 and so far, so good.

This band is called the ID107plus. It's sold under a wide variety of brands (e.g. Coffea, Makibe, Teamyo, etc). It's made by a company called IDOOSMART. Was surprised to see this review start off great and then degrade into "yes you should buy this" territory. I mean, reviewer didn't even test the HR monitor against the Fitbit! (spoiler: HR monitor is very innacurate when working out). He also didn't seem to mention the device can only read/show the first 10 characters of a message... It does have pros though: it's a watch, it has a stopwatch (but not e countdown timer), weather indicator, inactivity alert, caller/msg ID, it vibrates pretty good for notifications. It has a useful camera app and music control app, and also a handy phone finder. Other than that, don't expect much given the price.
I did test it against the fitbit, as I said in the video. I didn't show a detailed breakdown of every single test, just the step counter. But the HR monitor for both of them were pretty much spot on, so I didn't even bother to mention it. And I'm sorry if it seemed like it devolved into "Yes, you should buy this". Only mean, if you are looking to get a fitness tracker, already set on buying one, this one works just as well as the high-priced ones on the market.
mine didn't come with a user manual for some reason, so i've had to hunt online to find out which app to use and your review was the only one that actually mentioned it so THANKS!
Do you have to connect to your phone? I have a flip phone and I just want the step counting and calories burned features. I just want something to help me keep better track of my workout and exercise.
LOL. I tried that. Turned on the moon before I turned off my light about 10pm. In the morning, looking at the sleep record, it didn't start measuring sleep until 12:25. After I looked at the instructions, the moon is actually "do not disturb". Unfortunately, no contact in instruction guide.
Ohh, hmmmm. It's been a while since I looked, but have you looked or even used the app associated with it? not sure if there is a setting you can change that would help from there.
Yes, that's how I can see that when the app syncs with the watch in the morning that it is taking 1 to 2 hours to register that I am asleep. I thought that since the company gave you the watch to test, that you might have a contact email. But it has been a year since your review.
Yeah, the contact I had with the company was from the marketing rep that I don't even have an email address anymore. I think if you contact Amazon support, it gets forwarded to the company in charge.
I have no idea, I've never used one of those. And not many of them are "waterproof", they are water resistant. Meaning they can get wet through normal means, but you can't go swimming/diving with it.
I am looking for simple tracker to track my steps and stairs. I don't need music, heart rate, text/call notifications or any extras. I have spent hours searching and reviewing. I thought the RunMe might be it but you pointed out that it does not track stairs. Any suggestions? I work in a large building and go UP at least 200 stairs/day but I'd love to have an actual count along with my steps tracked separately because of the long corridors I walk.
They did reach out to me n explained how it works in terms of counting my steps it only counts after u do 30 or more so it didn't stopped counting my steps after all
How long is this possible? When thinking about accumulator i dont want to activate my bluetooth all day. Is it possible to syncronise it only in the evening but getting all the data ?
I can not get my Bluetooth to come back on and stay on my main screen.It was on when I first got it and I must of touched something now I can not get it to work like it did. Thanks Tammy.
It's water resistant, not water proof, so I wouldn't shower with it just in case. Running in the rain or washing your hands should be ok, but I haven't tested prolonged water exposure.
I have got this runme fitness tracker however I am having a problem with notification alerts. Do you receive notification alerts for apps like Whatsapp etc?
I wonder how this stacks up against Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro? I just got a gear for free but see it for AU$300 in the shops. I see this type for $20 on eBay, postage inc. Seems to have very similar features, even the app looks like the Gear app. Maybe it doesn't have GPS and Wi-fi although I still haven't figured out why my Fit2 needs GPS and Wi-fi anyway. It never uses them.
I think there was a time the app had some problems with compatibility with some devices and people ragged on the company until they fixed it, but the reviews were already in.
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding... 1 mile, 1534 steps, 41" per step? Those are "big people" steps! Or, if that were a "stride", then those are 20.6" steps, which are "baby steps". Of course, if you're just wanting the two to match, then that's fine... But your mile is off.IS there verification regarding it have GPS (versus inertial tracking approximating path coupled with the last valid GPS location)? It would be worth buying just for a micro GPS tracker. :-)
41" isn't really that big. I just tested it in my office. If I measure from the heel of my shot to the toe of my other shoe after a normal stride, it's around 40-41". That's a pretty average stride.
That is unfortunate to hear. Did you try reinstalling it from scratch, see if it got hosed in the install? I'm not sure of another app for this device.
I have powered the device and the cell phone off, and tried reinstalling the app a few times. I notice in the Playstore that there are about 200 people who all have the same problem. Is there a phone number or email address for the VeryFitPro app to talk to??
Actually, I ended up getting everything except the Call Notification to work. I uninstalled the program, and reinstalled, as well as powered the device off, and plugged it back into my computer. Also, it might be helpful to power off your phone and restart it right after the uninstall of the app.
I just purchased this device, however I cannot get it to track my sleep. I have tried everything in the app. When you click on the sleep, it has time 12 am to 12am- but is not tracking my sleep. What do I need to do? Any help would be appreciated
On the watch itself, you switch it to sleep mode when you go to bed, and turn it off when you get up. Then when it syncs with the app, it will change the time.
Oh I see. Yes, that's why i wanted to review this one. Because FitBit and the Nike Fuel are way more expensive and this band does the exact same things.

CappTech hi buddy.. amazon.com says you can't order this outside U.S.. any clue where can I order this from ?
I honestly don't know. I will look around and see if I can find it. They seem to do their primary business via Amazon only, so I'm not sure if there is a way to ship internationally if they don't offer it. I'll let you know if I find something.
CappTech thanks mate
Do you know that max wrist size that the watch can fit?
I just got this watch, and I already love it!

I just got me the runme today and so far I'm in love
Nice, glad you are enjoying it. I like mine too!
Unfortunately it stopped counting my steps
ok thk for the info if it stop working likely it a bug when it was make so buying it will be mostly pointless
These are the kind of reviews that I like to see. good job
Thank you very much :)

Thanks, I like it, but wanted to buy extra bands
Omg thank you! This was super helpful! I been looking for a new more affordable watch. And the fact that this does 14 fitness modes sold me!
Happy to help :)
mine didn't come with a user manual for some reason, so i've had to hunt online to find out which app to use and your review was the only one that actually mentioned it so THANKS!
Happy to help!!
oh btw do you know or does the manual say if there's a way to factory reset?
Hey I was just wondering is it still working properly?
yeah it still works great, the only problem i notice is bpm doesn't seem to be tracking properly but that could be the app and not the watch
Help. Where can I find manual for coffee h7?
Very nice review. It's been sitting in my cart for like an hour now, so I didn't know if I should purchase it or not, but I think I will. Thanks!
How do you read your messages on runme Fitbit
This video really convinced me and i got one. Thanks :)
Thanks bro ! Good job.
Thank you for watching :)
Excellent Video. Great Review.
Thank You!
Cheers bro, great info, very helpful :)
Thank you very much!
I have a fit bit my sister has a Run me fitness tracker, do they 2 devices sync together so can we track each others steps?
Great review 100 out of 100
Thank you very much!
does the watch tell you your runnig speed?
how to get sleep analysis to work
How on earth do i set the time on this watch?
Once you sync it with the app, it gets the time from your phone.
Do you have to connect to your phone? I have a flip phone and I just want the step counting and calories burned features. I just want something to help me keep better track of my workout and exercise.
Looks pretty cool!
Thanks man :)
I can't get the sleep tracker programmed or change the fitness from walking to workout.... help! lol
Me neither!!
Why and how do you get messaging features to work? Mine always says no messages when a text message is clearly sitting on my phone?
Despite being in bed with light out by 10pm, this never shows that I am asleep before 11:25pm. Anyway to adjust this?
If I remember correctly, you can manually turn it to sleep mode (the moon).
LOL. I tried that. Turned on the moon before I turned off my light about 10pm. In the morning, looking at the sleep record, it didn't start measuring sleep until 12:25. After I looked at the instructions, the moon is actually "do not disturb". Unfortunately, no contact in instruction guide.

Can't figure out how to change watch face from military time to am pm 12 hrs configuration. Help
GPS tracker working? Map can load?
Can Read full SMS/Massage on screen?
As far as I know.
How do u On It pls Tell
nice vid fam
Thanks for checking it out :)
how do you do you setup the time and date?
When you sync it to the app via your phone, it automatically gets the date/time from your phone. Or you can go in to the settings and manually set it.
how does compare to the F4 Smart Wristband Watch , and how waterproof is it ?
I have no idea, I've never used one of those. And not many of them are "waterproof", they are water resistant. Meaning they can get wet through normal means, but you can't go swimming/diving with it.
what is that circle for on the watch
Do you know how to change the sleep times in the VeryFitPro app? Mines is showing 12 am to 12 am, that’s clearly wrong. Does it change on its own?
I am looking for simple tracker to track my steps and stairs. I don't need music, heart rate, text/call notifications or any extras. I have spent hours searching and reviewing. I thought the RunMe might be it but you pointed out that it does not track stairs. Any suggestions? I work in a large building and go UP at least 200 stairs/day but I'd love to have an actual count along with my steps tracked separately because of the long corridors I walk.
I haven't tested too many myself. I do know the FitBit tracks stairs, but it's also more pricey too.
Can you change the time to military time?
I believe you can set the time to 24hr format instead of 12.
Anyone have a discount code for this?
Unfortunately my runme stops counting my steps
Well that is unfortunate. Did you reach out to the company for troubleshooting?
CappTech I did reach out to amazon but I can't get the info for the manufacturer
I do hope you get in touch with someone. I don't have a contact or I'd give it to you.
They did reach out to me n explained how it works in terms of counting my steps it only counts after u do 30 or more so it didn't stopped counting my steps after all
I'm glad they reached out to you to get the problem resolved :)
Keep the vids coming
Thank You!
Useful video thx
Thank you for watching!
Still dies no pair with my android the runmefit watch. Any suggestions?
Does it count steps by ARM SWING
It does have a built-in gyroscope that measure motion, generally by your arms that will swing naturally even when waking
I like my new runme, but I can't seem to find replacement bands. Any ideas?
I would contact the company via their amazon page and see if they can replace it for you.
If I am out of Bluetooth range for a while will I still monitor my progress and sync up when I return to my device?
Yes, it will.
CappTech thank you for letting me know! Great video!
How long is this possible? When thinking about accumulator i dont want to activate my bluetooth all day. Is it possible to syncronise it only in the evening but getting all the data ?
That is how it works. When it reconnects to your bluetooth device, will sync the data it gathered through the day.
I can not get my Bluetooth to come back on and stay on my main screen.It was on when I first got it and I must of touched something now I can not get it to work like it did. Thanks Tammy.
Does the gps work without having my phone with me? For example if i go for a run do i need to take my phone with me?
*Edit* It will record your run, but you need to have it sync with the app to see your path, distance and whatnot.
At 03:50 you say it has.
You are correct. I need to re-word that. It has built-in GPS to record the path, but you have to have the App to see your path run.
hi, it can read messages from apps like viber or messenger or only support sms ?
I didn't test it with 3rd party messaging apps, so I am not sure honestly.
Just checked it there, it does WhatsApp, messenger, Facebook, and twitter, potentially more but it doesn't specify.
Awesome. Thanks for clarifying
Is it able to shower with this runme model? Is it ip67 or ip68?
It's water resistant, not water proof, so I wouldn't shower with it just in case. Running in the rain or washing your hands should be ok, but I haven't tested prolonged water exposure.
CappTech thanks!
I have got this runme fitness tracker however I am having a problem with notification alerts. Do you receive notification alerts for apps like Whatsapp etc?
I don't think it does app pushes for apps, but it will push for SMS messages
How do you turn it on? I turned it off, and now can't get it to work. Thanks.
You’re screwed
I turned mine off and had to go back into the app and bind again.... also you can charge it and that will turn it back on.
Swipe across the screen, or shake your wrist (unless you turned that option off already).
I just did the same thing. I got it to turn back on by charging it but now it won't sync with the app. I need help I do not know what to do.
I had a Fitbit and used it for a day. Saw I was over 15k steps a day, I'm good.
lol, nice
Hey Guys! This Tracker works in a treadmill? Thanks....
Hello. It should since it measure your steps via movement.
Thanks guys!
I wonder how this stacks up against Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro? I just got a gear for free but see it for AU$300 in the shops. I see this type for $20 on eBay, postage inc.

It never uses them.
I don't use a cell phone. Can I use my ipad instead of the phone?
I haven't tested it, but I don't see why not.
From looking at the app in the video it only has a 2.5 star rating. Is it deserving of such a low rating?
I think there was a time the app had some problems with compatibility with some devices and people ragged on the company until they fixed it, but the reviews were already in.
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding... 1 mile, 1534 steps, 41" per step? Those are "big people" steps! Or, if that were a "stride", then those are 20.6" steps, which are "baby steps".

I alredy Hav It Its good Actully i didnt Know About This Brand but I Got It For 30 dollars So it helps Alot That u Telled Me About This Band
Does anyone know how to pair to android. Both are close together with Bluetooth on, still won't pair...
that did help a lot :)
Thank You for watching :)
Not connecting to the mobile please help me
The VeryFitPro app constantly crashes, and therefore a major problem staying connected to my cell phone. Any suggestions or another app available????
That is unfortunate to hear. Did you try reinstalling it from scratch, see if it got hosed in the install? I'm not sure of another app for this device.
I have powered the device and the cell phone off, and tried reinstalling the app a few times. I notice in the Playstore that there are about 200 people who all have the same problem. Is there a phone number or email address for the VeryFitPro app to talk to??
That is unfortunate. I don't have a support contact for the app.
Karen Wheeler I had the same problem the app is a joke, basically makes most of the features useless
Actually, I ended up getting everything except the Call Notification to work. I uninstalled the program, and reinstalled, as well as powered the device off, and plugged it back into my computer. Also, it might be helpful to power off your phone and restart it right after the uninstall of the app.

Thank you, which button is the sleep mode? I have played with all of them.
Scroll to the moon icon
Is he sensor accurare
In my testing, it was as accurate as any other fitness trackers I wore. They all have a margin for error though.
will not turn on. when charged get black screen
It is motion based once it is being worn. I saw what you experienced once too. But once i put it on and moved around, it came on.
Someone please help... Ive charged it all day but it won't come on. There is no light or anything to indicate that it is working.
bayile ericson same with me, what about now ? Still have this problem?
Just now I have this problem, and I am very confused
Hi is this device water proof
It's water resistant, not water proof. It's fine to wear in the rain or when washing your hands, but not swimming/bathing.
It gets the information from the app that you sync it to.
I doubt if built in GPS..
Can you read text message off the screen?
I believe so, yes.
I'm waiting for Xiaomi Mi Band 3 s much!
I didn't even know they had a fitness tracker watch. I at first was thinking the app
There are lots of brands of fitness watches. Surely you've heard of fitbit at least? I've used them, "up" from jawbone, now the RunMe.
CappTech yes I own a Fitbit , Nike fuel band but I've never heard of this one. Just the main brands
Oh I see. Yes, that's why i wanted to review this one. Because FitBit and the Nike Fuel are way more expensive and this band does the exact same things.
Can I swim with that?
No, it's water resistant, so it won't get hurt my sweat or if it's raining, but not water proof.
Thanks a lot! Great videos, keep it up!
OMG this is what I'm looking for and on my amazon its 11 pounds I am buying!
sorry this watch not accurate polar is the best and accurate fitness
Never used a Polar. The RunMe was just as accurate as the Fitbit and the Jawbone I tested it against.
This is 20 dollars on aliexpress.
Nice! Even better
I found one for 15 pounds
I too have had issues with Bluetooth connecting! IMHO Bluetooth technology is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hts crap
what is "hts"?
If you're referring to this band, no, it's not. It works just fine.
