Watch and companion app is glitchy. Battery life with GPS on renders it more or less useless. I was asked to put a review on the company's website and gave an honest and polite 2 star review. They didn't publish it so don't believe any claims on their website. This review is downgraded to one star based on the watch / app performance and the experience posting a review with the company. You get what you pay for I suppose.

2 watches in 4 years
2 watches in 31/2 years - both broken. Simply will not sync to phone. Also the strap on the first 1 perished within a few months after quite minimal use. Customer service doesn't exist with this company - it’s appalling - offered 50% off another watch. What?? To break again within 2 years?? Don’t think so. Better off spending a bit more and opting for a more reliable brand that doesn’t take your money, doesn’t work, who employ apathetic agents, and who refuse to accept that they’re crap watches.

Reflex Active series 31…
I bought a Reflex Active series 31 smart watch around a month ago. It has been working OK but now the step count is totally off the scale (recording at least double the number I've actually done.

Poor quality
I have had to go back into Argos where I purchased this watch from online 4 times. The first watch I collected from the store- didn’t come on or show any signs of charging. I had to take this watch back and swap it for another where the same thing happened again. After returning to the store with the second watch asking them to set up the third incase I go home and the same thing happened the woman in Argos said it was a ‘bad batch’ meaning I had to change my original watch to a different style then the woman managed to get it on for two seconds and said it will be fine when I go home it will just need a minimum of four hours charge due to flat battery yet I charged for 4 hours + more and still nothing. I wouldn’t recommend I have now had to take this watch back to get my refund- not worth it for what it is at all.

Pretty rubbish
Pretty rubbish. Only paid £9 for it so not too upset, but that's all it's worth.
It doesn't sync to Strava, so that's mis selling. GPS activities can be shared to Strava, but nothing else. All in all it's a nice looking watch, but it really doesn't work as it should.

Thank you for your review. We're very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced when trying to sync your watch with Strava.
We can assure you that all of our smartwatches are compatible with Strava when connected through the Blue or the Red Reflex Active app. To successfully sync an activity, please ensure the following steps are completed:
1. Ensure your Reflex Active watch is paired and synced with your smartphone via the Reflex Active app.
2. Complete an activity on your watch, such as a run, walk, or bike ride.
3. Once the activity has been saved, navigate to the activity history/data section within the app.
4. Open the activity details and select the Strava logo.
5. Follow the prompts to authorise and connect your Strava account.
If any of these steps are missed, the activity may not sync correctly with Strava.
We sincerely apologise for the frustration this caused and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. We'd be more than happy to assist further if you have any questions at [email protected] .
Kind Regards,
Mary - Reflex Active

Terrible service
The watch doesn't keep accurate step counts. For 3 days in a row, mine showed 0 steps but calculated my heart health. It showed incorrect readings before but these usually righted themselves. I emailed Reflex Active and asked them to replace the watch as it was still under guarantee. They refused and said I'd need to send the watch back. I've now bought another one but please don't waste your money on this product!

Thank you for your review, and we're very sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with your watch.
To clarify, our returns process for faulty items requires the product to be returned to us first so that our team can inspect and assess the fault. In many cases, the issue can be resolved through repair, and if the watch cannot be repaired, we would of course arrange a replacement.
Unfortunately, we are unable to send a replacement without first receiving and checking the faulty item, as we need to determine whether the issue can be fixed before proceeding with a replacement.
I hope this helps explain the process. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer service team at [email protected], who will be happy to assist.
Many thanks,
