Firmware update released 12/25/14 enables music controls! Band and clasp is fantastic! Touch screen is awesome! New features still coming! One of the few devices that you can wear in the shower! I really like this product!
After doing some serious comparing of features of the competing activity trackers with smart watch functions, I had narrowed it down to this Striiv Fusion and the Razer Nabu. The problem is that the Razer Nabu has only barely released while the Striiv Fusion has been out for a couple of months. I found the Fusion on sale and decided it was worth a shot and I am really glad I went with it.
I'm so perplexed at some of the reviews, especially compared to the competition. Even the professional reviewers have said that they decided not to test the Striiv Fusion because it had been getting mediocre online reviews, but I don't understand how they justify that when Amazon has had less than 10 reviews on the product.
The tracking functionality seems to work just fine. The notifications are great. I hope to see them refined, but they are way better than anything the competition has been offering. The touch screen is fabulous and they've done a pretty good job at implementation and UX. The band and clasp are really a neat design. I wore watches until I got a smart phone, so I know how annoying some bands can be, but this one is solid. The clasp isn't an annoying buckle and it's easy to put on, but does take a firm push to get the pins through the holes. The documentation is kind of lacking, but their videos on YouTube make up for it and I am sure they will get documentation finalized as the features and apps mature.
I was surprised that they put music control on the box as one of the features, when it wasn't a part of the firmware, but then they updated it with the feature the next day! Thanks Striiv team!
I know that if you compare functionality and price, you too will see that the Striiv Fusion is a great value. I hope that a lot of people purchase this product to support it and enable the developers to continue to roll out new features.
