Okay, so I took a gamble on the Skechers Go Walk Activity Tracker after seeing it was way cheaper than Fitbit. Here's my honest take after using it for a month.

First off, the good stuff: It's crazy lightweight and comfy to wear all day. The step counting seemed pretty accurate during walks, and I liked that it distinguishes between walking and running (finally!). Charging was quick too - about an hour got me through several days.

Now the not-so-great parts: The sleep tracking? Total letdown. Woke up to zero data more often than not. And that whole '12-day memory' feature? Useless when the app keeps disconnecting. Speaking of which - the app situation is a mess. Had to dig through sketchy forums just to find a working version.

The dealbreaker for me was customer service. When my tracker started glitching after 3 weeks (would only sync randomly), their '24-hour complaint window' policy felt like a scam. Like who tests every feature immediately after unboxing?

Final verdict? If you find this under $30 and don't mind tinkering with apps, maybe worth a shot. But honestly? Save up for something more reliable unless you just want a basic step counter.
