r/NoiseREP

Last night I took a sleeper bus and the entire trip was recorded as a workout session and had done step tracking 😂. And finally concluded that I didn't sleep last night 😭

I recently purchased the new Noise REP band and wanted to share my unbiased and honest review having used it for 12+ hours. I am posting this review as a short term review because I wore the band and my old Fitbit Inspire 3 for 12+ hours together to see how they compared. I will not say whether the REP is good or bad, and will let the people decide for themselves. Here are the parameters I adhered to:

1. Started at 00:00, wearing the Inspire in my left hand, and REP on the right.
2. For both the NoiseFit app, and the Google Health app, I unsynced the phone, so that the measurements are solely taken from the respective tracker.
3. A major factor to note is that my Inspire is almost 2 years old, and therefore is calibrated quite well, while the REP is brand new.
4. I tracked and compared three main parameters - sleep, resting heart rate, and activity.
5. Fitbit Inspire retails at 8K+ and REP retails at 7999/- for now.

You can look the pictures of all the measurements each tracker took. The light images are Fitbit, and the dark images are REP.

I leave these here, for people to decide how good/bad the REP is. I will personally give it 8/10.

P.S. - I won't be able to take DMs as of now, so kindly ask me your questions in the comments. Thank you.

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.
