DESCRIPTION:
The line is blurring between what is a smartwatch and what is a smart band. The S908 (aka G03 from Makibes) blends the features of a rectangular watch with a fully waterproof band design. With an installed GPS the device is able to accurately track distance traveled whether it is by running or cycling. This is far more accurate than depending on step count. Accumulated data is available for each sport directly on the band while recording, and also the last event saved in each sport category is viewable in history.
The band is able to tether to a phone app where basic information for the current day is presented. Unfortunately, as of this review, the phone app was not able to sync with the band to bring over the sports information or the sleep monitoring information. The app has not been updated since 2015, so there is little likelihood this will be fixed any time soon.

Delete pairing in your phone for band. Make certain no there Bluetooth devices in area.
Turn off Bluetooth on your phone. (Counter Intuitive, but crucial)
Turn watch on.
Open health app in phone.
Ask health app to synch with Bluetooth still off on phone.
When Health app asks to turn on Bluetooth in phone say yes. It should open Bluetooth settings in your phone. Turn on phone Bluetooth and pair watch normally.
Use Health app on phone to adjust settings, user data, time, date preference, alarms, notifications ( you may have to add each app you want to get notifications from to list)
After tweaking app settings resynch to watch.
Now it will work and automatically reconnect to phone and app.
Have you tried any other apps that could link with it instead

Can someone tell me, does this band has lap counter for swimming (I press the button every time i hit the end of the pool)? Its very important to me.

Hi. Could you do a review of makibes g05?
Whats the quality like? And have you took it for a run for a test?
I have not used this app or device, but had similar synch issues with Iwown HR fitness band and it’s Health app. I finally deleted the Bluetooth pairing with band on my phone and turned off Bluetooth on my phone. Turned watch off and back on, then used the Health phone app to synch, which then asked if it could turn Bluetooth on for my phone. After I used the Health app to turn on my Bluetooth in settings, then I paired the watch in phone settings. Went back to app and synchronized fitness band/watch to phone. Then went to Health app and revised it’s settings for apps to send notifications to my band, Fahrenheit instead of Celsius height weight, stride, etc. Then resynched so all revised settings were in band/watch. Health app runs continuously 24/7 with Bluetooth on 24/7. All notifications come through, weather, calendar items, alarms, caller ID and decline call( answering must be done with phone).
This is what worked after 3 different apps and several partial synchs over half a day.
I have no idea if same will work on this device, but probably.
Can you do the review for the restting54?
I, you have done so many reviews , why dont you do , my best pick of 2017.
First
Can you see the time AND use stopwatch simultaneously in the same screen?
wow,very fast review
Hi, can you suggest me smart band with gps…
can it change music or volume if you are listening music from the watch???
how to activate bluetooth on s908 watch ?
The app to use with this amartband is H+ watch, H+ is for an older smartband the H1.
Can you test the swimming feature ? I want to know before I purchase if it count laps accurate
New device + out-dated app = misguided deployment!
the watch count the current or average pace ?
Лучше чем mi band 2
Great review as always! 🙂
I would rather buy amazfit or its cheaper bip if you have the budget . Better app support and firmware updates .
I suppose this band would be decent priced if it drops ard US 30 .
Thank you for this very useful video otherwise it is difficult to understand how the smartwatch is working. By the way, the software HPlus watch has been updated on 22 april 2017
finally!! the band with GPS! But the dim screen is the issues… hm…
i am 12 why am i whatching this?
can I export the GPS data to the Strava or GPX file
Hi all, some one know an alternative app for this band ?
Merci et bonne journée !
GPS works well?
Hi can you check and confirm the app is updated for google map support?
Hello Can you suggest some gps enabled with heart rate monitor wearable device with similar budget?
Hello, there’s any better than this for sports in this price? Thanks and subbed 🙂
Good video, but what’s with the weird humming/hissing noise that only occurs when you talk?
You’re using the wrong app. Look for “HPlus watch”
