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

Only small issue is the band being to small but otherwise a great little vital band.

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.

This was a gift for my 10yo grandson. He rates it 4 out of 5. Three amazing things he mentioned: 1. Even though the instructions are in another language it is easy to understand and use. 2. You can evolve your digiman with increased steps. 3. It keeps track of time, steps, and heart rate.

So we bought this for our son who wanted one for Christmas. However, I’m not sure he understands the concept. It’s actually self-explanatory and you can download the instructions online in the English version. I was scared because I thought initially everything was going to be in Japanese. That’s not the case tho. I guess there’s a whole subculture on these devices. My son is learning how to use it.

Exactly what it says, the vital braclet is awesome. Use the online translated instructions. Everything except the digimon name is in English, if you use the app or are a fan of digimon then the names are no issue. Great buy.

I need to say, first, that this is more a toy than a working fitness bracelet. The step counter works really bad, counting every single arm movement as walking. Second, if you are not from USA, Canada, or other countries like that, you wont be able to download the APP that works with the clock, thing that leave you out of a lot of things. (My APP Store is in Uruguay, even changing the region, it’s imposible to get the application) Third, it scratches REALLY easy. The screen keeps working just fine, but if you are somebody who moves a lot, or work moving things around… yeah, it’s going to get scratched soon or later. And last detail, it’s not waterproof. Still, for $40, it’s a great gift for Digimon Fans, more as a Tamagochi than as anything else.

When I first got my band, the green light that is used to check your heart beat was not working, the main part of the bracelet. After contacting amazon, I gotten a replacement for free that worked pretty good. For a I would say 6 months I was motivated to walk and evolve my digimons and bought other DIM Cards that were sold separately. But when I took a break and came back the battery was dead. The problem now is that it struggles to charge. When I try to charge it, it would try to turn on without enough juices and clearly struggles with flickering lights and screen, draining faster then charging. I believe either the charging port or the battery is defective. But I think It might be too late to get a free replacement now.

These come with a one size fits most wrist bands. Recommend being careful with the wrist bands as they can rip fairly easily on thick wrists. Otherwise the product is great and I love using it!

All in all. A good product. If you don’t care about the devices color or starting digimon, get the cheapest one you can get that is new. Picture attached is using the screen protector(which has some bubbles in it and most of them have gone away). See below for more specifics. (1: Device uses/guide, 2: Digimon training, 3: Vital Bracelet Digimon Lab) 1: This measure time, heart rate, and steps. The digimon have different awake/sleep cycles which the vital values increase only when awake. As a 2nd shift worker this can be a hassle when training as I am not active during the normal wake cycles. I do like how we can manually choose the time, I set this to be behind by a few hours so the digimon “awake” time is the same as mine to get full benefit for training the digimon. I also recommend checking out the guide for this product on humulos.com, as the instructions included are in Japanese. For English speakers and other languages, check out humulos.com which will tell you a lot.(I just found this website when trying to look up the guide/user manual in english) 2: Digimon will digivolve as time goes on in the “awake state” they will not get more time to digivolve while asleep or device is off. some require more exercise(more miles(which is steps)) than others. If you dont wear/move the device for more than 24 hours, then the digimon in the device will die and you can restart by reloading the dim card. This is a great way to restart if you dont like what you get during digivolution. Humulos.com or the vital bracelet digimon app(free, no micro transactions) can give you the requirements to digivolve your current digimon.(Trophys, # of Battles, Win rate, Vital values, and time awake on vital bracelet). Each combination of these 4 values will determine which digimon it will digivolve to, while the time will be the same for when it will check those values to digivolve like a timer to get the objectives completed. The vital bracelet app will also allow you to store multiple digimon with worrying about them de-digivolving or storage capacity. 3: the Vital Bracelet Digimon Lab app for the smart phone is a great way to save your digimon(if you make an account to save progress) it is free and no micro transactions. You start with a small number of storage containers, but with every new digimon/dim card added to your account, the more storage containers they give you for free so you can store them all with some extra. (I still havent filled all the storage containers)

Even though I checked the strap length before I purchased it must not have been accurate because it was too small for my wrist.
