Bandai VITAL BRACELET (Japan Import Ver.) Digital Monster ver.BLACK

Works as intended

Both cards worked great, amazon delayed shipping but it got it eventually. Some of the evolution conditions are a pain to meet but overall in satisfied with this purchase. It was also cheaper than importing it other places.

The bands are definitely aged (almost even reused, but probably just old), technically works but SOUND & NFC reader is definitely BROKEN

Product came exactly as described and promptly.

I got this as a gift for my partner, they absolutely love it! Made them feel young again. Only qualm wish it was more sleeker and less fragile feeling for the screen

The real world Digivice is a device that keeps evolving since its first iteration. 1. Does what a fit bit does. - You can get more missions/challenges from the app.(known as special) - Normal are distance missions.(perfect for people that go to work and dont sit most of the day) - Hard is where the exercise regiments are.(Digimon needs to a Rookie first) 2. Your Digimon trains while you have the VB attached. - You dont have to do the onboard fitness targets . - Your Digimon (more specifically Pulsemon) Digivolution will be based on your exercise/movement routine. 3. Online connectivity via the app. - Load boosters and support items for your Digimon to utilize while battling/training/recovering. - There are arena battles. This is done via setup the battle> do battle with a meter for critical hits> hopefully your Digimon is victorious as this is a way to increase their vitals and mood. 4. Are there non-online battles? - Yes, and you can watch them. - Achieved by completing the goals during the adventure missions. - You need to know when to throw in the towel for your Digimon cause they can die if they take too many losses in one day. Stop the adventure and let them rest. - The Vs dim card is used for in-person battles 5. Do I have to keep the VB all day? - Depending on your Digimons personality and your exercise routine he/she will go to sleep for 12hrs. (Mine is an 8 to 8 mon.) This is a good time to take it off. - It aint waterproof so take it off before the bath or any other water activities. - Apparently very cold temperatures can affect the device as well.(Keep it warm during this time) 6. Digimon Personality - Yes they have one and will let you know too with emotions. - You can have a better look at effects in the app(Globally released btw) - It is also tied to their Digivolution stats. - Your Digimon maybe tired when you are tired. - You can reset the Digimon if he/she has reached max and maybe you want to try to access the other Digivolution paths. Overall- This is a Digivice which rewards you Digimon with power based on your real world activity. The only bad part is that the waterproofing is not a part of the device yet, not even in the latest revision the Digivice V.

Though I do prefer the Digimon -V- vital bracelet because of the upgrade in features and usability, this was a pretty okay first go at it. It does exactly as advertised though I am a little disappointed and surprised that it isnt at least water resistant. Make sure to take off the bracelet before washing your hands!

There are many things missing from the watch and app, though Im happy to have them. I wish the watch strap was standard. I had to buy the Bandai extension because my wrists are large, but it costs a whopping $20 compared to regular watch extensions which are as little as $4. Every time my watch runs out of battery, I have to reset the date/time settings, which makes me just not want to bother with it. Ive mostly stopped wearing it. Id like the option to use bluetooth instead of NFC. I have to take my phone case off every time I want to communicate with my watch. I have a phone case for a reason. I wish more Tamagotchi options were on the watch/app. Being able to feed or pet your digimon would be great. On a Digivice, you can clean up poop LOL I wish it also had some standard smart watch features? Id be more inclined to use it if it checked my HR and had a timer. I dont really understand battle listings? How are players listed? Can I be listed? Or are users listed if theyre online, but Im battling against a computer, essentially? Let me accept all my rewards at once. Dont give me pop-up notifications about them on the log screen. The exclamation indicator is enough. Let me buy more than 10 items at once.

My friend and I absolutely love this thing. The step counter is not very accurate but the quality is amazing and overall a great product. You do need the companion app for 100% enjoyment but thats to be expected. The whole thing is in english except the digimons name so if youre worried about that, dont. Overall its a good product, you may wanna buy a new strap though cuz these do run pretty small.

As someone that had a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 digivice, the new Vital Bracelets are great and so much fun. Using the app to connect and interact, play online, manage multiple Digimon and many other things, it makes everything much more interesting, interactive and feel like it all matters and means more. The Digimon evolution times are fairly spaced out, having goals and other little objectives to do keeps gameplay interesting. The battery on mine seems to last me about 36 hours. (Maybe a little less) I usually charge it every night or just an hour or so before I leave the house.
