Is the Vital Fit Track Apple Watch Ad on Facebook Genuine or a Scam?

Saw a Facebook advertisement on a particular Apple version of a watch named Vital Fit Track. Is this a real Apple product or a scam?

Did a bit more digging, which I should have done in the first place, and I find this watch, that is offered as a special at $49.95, several places on line for half that price even. So what does that tell us? I know what it tells me.

100% agree with Mammastoo!

But I can add a lot to what she said! Such as the thing does not work accurately at all, not even close!

You can never move your feet and still get thousands of steps in as it counts your arm moving!

The don;t get me started on the sleep monitoring...ALL B.S. I kept my own notes and does not match at all...

Don't buy this crap. And customer service WOW there is no worse

Interesting. I did not see it associated with Apple or Facebook. I saw it on Consumer Reviews as the best lower-cost fitness watch. It got 4.5 stars. I just got mine and so far it is fine for what I want. The only thing that isn’t accurate is the blood pressure, but wrist BP is NEVER accurate. It is not a good watch if you are really into details about your workout. It is easy to read.

I fell for the scam too and they offered me a 100% refund after I said I was going to report them to the Federal Trade Commission. Also, read the privacy policy. It gives the company access to all of your personal information, contacts, and social media accounts. That is the initial reason I wanted to return the product. I assume they let you keep the product after you agree to a partial refund because they think you will use it anyway and they can collect your information.

I should have Googled it first. There a myriad such watches out there, including this one (which I doubt has anything to do with Apple) and they are even cheaper. That was a lapse on my part, but when I saw the pic of Mr. Cook in their ad it did give the appearance of a connection to Apple. So unless someone knows better, I'll pass on the Vital Fit Track watch.

Vital fit track is not what it is being advertised as. Poor quality and not user friendly. It only holds a charge for about 24 hrs. It’s difficult to charge because you have to take the wrist bands off to insert the watch into a USB. It almost NEVER records my sleep accurately. I had an older fit bit product but wanted a newer unit and unfortunately bought a vital fit because there are so many false ratings out praising this unit. I’ve heard now, returns with this are impossible and such a hassle ppl just give up. I’ve continued wearing my Fitbit as a comparison while getting the new vital fit band and the numbers are so different we know something is up. Fitbit records my sleep while vital fit gets a small fraction of it. Steps are off by a couple thousand etc. I think the direction is to throw the vital fit band in the trash and stay with Fitbit brand and buy a newer version. Vital fit also has NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. The sales if this unit was oriented at seniors but it’s not even seniors friendly.

On the internet a company named Vital, I think it is, is selling a watch called Vital Fit Track Watch and the ad I saw on line appears to claim that Apple and Mr. Cook are involved in this in some way and that thanks to Cook they are selling this Vital Watch for $49.95, which sounds kind of fishy to me. When I try to get more info I'm usually confronted with Vital Fitness Track Watch, which may not be the same as VItal Fit Watch. Does anyone have any information on this? It sounds too good to be true, and we all know that that normally turns out to be the case, but I also don't want to pass up a good deal if this is for real.
