Customer Reviews

Here are two reviews from customers of GoQii band.

“Super stuff. Their customer centricity rocks!

As soon as it is bought, there is a follow up by their coach. Goals are set and you are off to start working on them. The application is fairly robust. Their coaches’ rock! While other devices just measure parameters, you have a coach following up here. The device itself might need charging once in 3 days and uses a custom charger that can be a pain to carry around if you are travelling constantly.

The GoQii band is your Key to health and wellbeing. Go for it!” – (amazon.in)

“So there are products that track but this one is unique!

Got sold on the amazing concept that marries a human coach to a wearable device. Realised the benefits only when I began interacting with the coach. The value addition the coach gives without too much intrusion makes it a brilliant experience. Would I recommend it, absolutely! Try it and you won’t regret!” – (amazon.in)

How Does the GOQii Band Function with the Application?

  • You can track your progress on the app, which has been made for the gadget. The app receives the information from the band through the Bluetooth connection between the device and the app.
  • You can see the graphs and charts at the display of your phone.


What Does GOQii Band Track?

GOQii band tracks the status of your body, but in addition to that, it can track the distance or the steps you’ve travelled. Tracking your body is quite useful, since you can check how your organs are (e.g. your heart) doing. This is essential, as you can see if you have any problems with your body (high blood pressure, etc.). Furthermore, the GOQii band can track how many calories have you burnt a day. This can help you form your body to your taste. The device can track sleeping and active time (how long you stay active) too.

Overall

The product has some great and unique features, which can create a whole new world of wearable gadgets. The price is fair, the quality of the product is excellent. The only downside of the GOQii band is, it is only available for residents of India. However, I honestly hope that the device will spread, and it will be possible to be used by people all around the world.
