Short summary is that the Hilo is an expensive device that has turned out to be unusable. I have had one of these for over a month now. The first setup and synchronization took over a couple of hours and two days to get a successful synchronization between the cuff and the band. For some unknown reason it took quite a few multiple attempts over the two days before it finally worked. Average readings over the first month were around 122 over 78 and very consistent with BPM also consistent between 63 and 67. Time in the desirable range varied from around 93% to 100%. That was the end of the good news however...Now, over a month later it needs to be synchronized again and this took over an hour and a half and finally resulted in too many failed attempts. During this time it was difficult to get the band and the cuff both working together. After waiting a period of time to retry the setup now the band says it was connected but whenever a reconnect was attempted but would then not actually show as connected. So as a last resort, I waited quietly for another two hours and performed a test on the cuff alone to see what the results would be. While sitting down resting the cuff produced results consistently in the 145 over 82 range and I have never seen figures that high while resting! The BPM was in the normal 55 - 65 range for me.I have come to the conclusion that this product is defective and I have wasted $385 and a lot of time in the process. Not a product that I would recommend at all.It has other features that do not help it in my opinion as well. These include:1. Out of date Micro USB charging connection instead of USB C.2. A high profile so it gets in the way of shirt sleeves etc (why couldn't it be twice the width and half the height?).3. Add a couple of basic features that a watch would have and a separate watch would not be needed to be worn. 4. No indication of Atrial Fibrillation if present.Update: I notice Hilo is now offering substantial discounts and free 12 month premium user option which is normally over $100 when 6 weeks ago I paid the full $385 for it.
