I bought this for my wife for Mother's Day. She's been on a health kick, it was on sale, and I had rewards to use.
The big advantage this item has over the similarly priced FitBit is that it has an LED screen built in. So, if you give up on the activity tracking at least you'll end up with a watch out of the deal.
It seems to count steps on the high end and is best used for walking, running/jogging, and sleep monitoring. Unfortunately, it does not register activities such as bike riding or yoga as an activity and therefore does not count it towards your daily goal.
She does not own the optional heart monitor, so I can't say whether or not this would improve with the added accessory.
Overall it seems like a good purchase and suits the main goal which was to have a sync-able pedometer with a fair amount of reliability.
I would recommend this to a friend!

band how do u shorten it ? My wrist is small. Do u cut it or what?

Yes, unfortunately you will have to cut the band to fit. This proves to be a fairly sensitive operation, as I found out by trimming too far on one cut and exposing the tube that holds the pin which attaches to the clamp. There is a paper wrist ruler that gives a number of links to be cut depending upon the perimeter of your wrist.

Does it track bike riding?

No, it won't track cycling which is apparently too gentle to register on the band. I used to have a cell phone with pedometer built in that would add thousands of steps when I threw it in my bike bag and went for a decent ride but this will not do that. Also, the online tools associated with this specific product have limited capability for adding activities that the band does not track.

There is an optional heart rate monitor for it, but since we don't own one we can not say whether it accurately picks up activities that don't register as steps.
