Noise Rep Band — 2 days in, initial impressions (great band, rough app)
Picked up the Noise Rep Band recently - Rs 1,000 for the pass, then Rs 6,999 for the band itself (MRP 7,999, HDFC card discount took a Rs 1000 off). Been wearing it 2 days, so here's a quick first-impressions post. Full review in about a month.
Delivery: Order was delayed by 2 days out of the gate, but it landed in 5 days total. Not bad.
Setup: This is where it got annoying. Pairing the band to my phone was finicky and the app felt unstable — took me several tries before it actually connected.
Fit: The band is a bit big for my wrist, but fair warning, I have tiny wrists lol. Might be a non-issue for most people.
Accuracy: Using my Apple Watch as a reference, the metrics line up almost perfectly. Genuinely impressed here.
The app (again): Takes about 15 minutes to register my workout readings which took my multiple tries of closing & re-opening the app. Not a dealbreaker, but it's the kind of thing you notice every single session.
Missing: No vibration for calls or notifications. At this price that's a bummer.
Verdict so far: Band itself is good — solid hardware, accurate readings. The app is the only real problem. Will post an extended review in a month once I've lived with it properly.
