The ID205L offers a number of notifications and alerts that you can set up in the app. You can set up the app so it shares data with Apple Health or Strava both are better options for actually tracking your fitness data. The app does sort of act as a fitness/tracking app-it has overviews of your activity, sleep, and heart rate data-but you can't manually enter in data (you can start activities, such as GPS-connected workouts, from the app, but you can't log them after the fact). It's not the most polished app, but it gets the job done and is fairly simple to navigate when you're setting up the watch and toggling notifications. The Letsfit ID205L pairs with the VeryFitPro app (available on both iOS and Android). It's not uncommon for budget sleep tracking to only track sleep during "night" hours, which I personally think is ridiculous since the people most interested in tracking their sleep are probably people who don't have traditional night-only sleep schedules. I had trouble getting the sleep tracking to work properly, but this is probably at least partly due to my unusual sleep schedule. Letsfit Smartwatch ID205L review: Sleep tracking The majority of the ID205L's readings are accurate, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting an accurate overall look at your heart rate, once you subtract the outliers. I'm not sure what was going on, but because the ID205L has continuous heart rate monitoring, this isn't actually as big of a deal as it might sound. I'd look down and it would say my heart rate was 125 while my Apple Watch was reading 65, and then the next reading both monitors would say 65. And then the other 10 percent or so, the ID205L just…kind of missed the mark. About 90 percent of the time the ID205L measured my heart rate accurately-within a few beats of my other methods (Apple Watch 6, a wrist-based blood pressure monitor, the tried-and-true finger-to-the-pulse method). Not totally inaccurate, but inconsistent. The ID205L is a little wonky when it comes to heart rate tracking. Nobody expects a $35 smartwatch to be as precise as one that costs 10 times that, but the best cheap fitness trackers all do a decent job at this, so there's no reason to waste valuable wrist space. The biggest issue with fitness trackers and smartwatches at the low end of the budget tends to be their accuracy (or lack thereof). Letsfit Smartwatch ID205L review: Fitness features and performance Letsfit doesn't seem to have any ID205L-specific replacement straps for sale, but the straps are installed via quick-release spring bar, so any generic quick-release watch band should be compatible. I like the color options a lot, actually-very luxe combos that make the otherwise boring device stand out. The Apple Watch 6 doesn't feel particularly bulky on my wrist, but the ID205L is just a tad bit sleeker, though it looks a lot cheaper. It's a little flatter than the Apple Watch and its case is made of plastic, so it's also quite a bit lighter. The ID205L may be pretty unoriginal, design-wise, but I don't really mind.
