Review of Aegis D6 699E Dynamic-Oscillometric Smart Blood Pressure Watch
This watch has turned out to be a bad purchase. While a comparison with my standard medical blood-pressure monitoring device seems to indicate that the watch measures blood pressure accurately, I have experienced several disappointments.
- I was unable to sync the watch with many of the apps in my iPhone. A search on Google revealed that this syncing facility is available only to Android phone users, and not to iPhone users. This issue is never mentioned on the Aegis website for this model.
- I found it awkward and cumbersome to manipulate the strap (which contains the cuff for blood pressure measurement) to fasten the watch to my wrist, or to take it off.
- Blue tooth connectivity is very poor. The watch signals loss of connectivity when I move 3 m away from my phone.
- I emailed Aegis about these issues to say that I was unhappy with the purchase, and to ask about the procedure for returning the watch and claiming a refund. Aegis replied to say that they are unable to provide a full refund, and offered to refund only 10% of the price that I had paid for it. This was a surprise, because the Aegis website states that they will refund the cost of any watch if it is returned within 30 days of purchase. Nowhere does it say that this refund will be only 10%.
I would advise potential customers of Aegis watches to (a) check reviews of these watches by other customers and (b) be aware of the incorrectly stated refund policy, before making a purchasing decision.
