I am not one with words, so I will keep it short and to the point. To be honest, this is the first smart watch I own. I am not a trend follower and had never any interest to chase the name brand. A watch is somewhat a necessity for me, but because of my stubbornness I have done without for about 3-4 years. Until I stumbled upon a Carbinox ad on Instagram, the "look" and the advertised functionality of the Vortex watch really caught my eyes. It was not expensive so I gave it a shot. Now, I have this watch for about a month. I love the product. It is what I was looking for.
I bought my wife and I the Ivy duo (1 black and 1 rose gold). We absolutely love them. They are durable and she loves the rose gold color on hers. We really love all the features especial the heart monitoring features.
I have worn my watch at work since I have received it and I have put it through a week and a half of torture and abuse. Great watch wish the battery lasted a little longer also had another plane black band that came with the watch, can’t tell if I have scratches or micro type fractures on the glass but still an awesome watch and love it
I purchased the Ivy as my Samsungs always get scratched and beat up in a commercial kitchen. So far this is holding up well and is easy to see and set-up! Great purchase with even better price tag!
I love this watch! Just wanted to get that out there, but it does seem like the connection is a little bit spotty. I have trouble when I’m looking at my watch for temperature or text. Sometimes I have to go into the app to synchronize every time I need to update the weather. I was also unclear whether to use the glory fit app, or the Carbinox pro app. The glory fit app seem to work better.
But this thing really is indestructible. I work in the HVAC doing installs and repairs. I’ve dunked it in water and also very very hot and it doesn’t Overheat. Definitely Italy doesn’t last 14 days mine went for 5 but that’s still better than apple watches.
Overall very very satisfied. Love the stretch bands more than any other.
Easy to use great awsome features battery reliability above and beyond..would highly recommend to all blue collar workers
Everything is so far so good expect the battery life. I don’t think it will give me 14days on one charge. Had to recharge day 4. Other thsn that love this watch
This watch is loaded with features. Easy to use. The Carbinox website was easy to use and got the watch for a great price!
The Best Watch I've ever owned. Has everything I need to know on the screen with the Time. Temperature, Date, Distance Walked, Plus BPM/HeartRate. Easier to navigate than Apple Watch. Wrist Bands are Easier the change. Overall Great Watch so far. Even tracks my Sleep
This watch is awesome and has already been tested against the elements and hasn’t missed a beat. Wish I would have gotten it sooner.
Everything was packaged very well the only thing that wasn’t in the box was the screen protector other than that everything g was awesome looking forward to testing this watch out while going to the outdoors and offroadjng
So I've had the Vortex now for over a week. I do like it. I work Construction and it holds up well.
My only issue I have, the vibration for notifications sucks. I can't feel it. Before you ask, yes it's turned up all the way. It barely does anything.
Thats really my only issue. I would recommend this product.
I ordered this watch because I go through watches often and can’t always grab my phone when my hands are covered in grease. So far it’s held up quite nicely and still don’t have a single scratch on the screen. Blows the competition out of the water by far.
Great product, easy setup, battery has yet to be recharged after a week and a day of use.
I ordered the Vortex with Rugged Pack (extra watchbands). I think for the extra amount, comes with a good selection of bands. Would have liked to have received at least one more of the original black rubber watchbands as they seem to wear out the fastest. Some of the colors of the other bands are not my style. Maybe have the customer pick out colors and styles as part of the kit. The App was a little confusing to me at first. Realized there is another App available. Downloaded and seems to work better. Too early to review longevity of watch. Feels heavy duty. I swapped over to metal band. I like that it came with a tool to add and remove links.
So far it does everything I need it to do. I can swim in it and that's a plus. Battery life is amazing. Price is amazing compared to most. Also the fact if I change phones it's compatible with android or iPhone is amazing. And it's indestructible. I never take it off. Bands are amazing and so many options. Straight out of box was 90% battery lasted over a week. 💪💪💪
Haven’t had to charge it yet and I’m on day 8 of wearing it and still at 33%. Just hope it keeps it up. My Fitbit had to be charged about every 3 days. My wife just received hers today.
I'm a millwright welder -fabricator at a Boise Cascade plywood mill, and I have scourged the Internet for a smartwatch that could take a beating.
Someone at work showed me his vortex and I immediately looked it up on Google.
When I have to do physically demanding work, I have nothing to worry about with Carbinox.
Good job y'all!
I’ve had nothing but an amazing experience with my Carbinox purchases! I work in Law Enforcement and my Vortex is reliable and very durable. The battery life is incomparable with any other smart watch. I am beyond satisfied with my watch!
Ordered the wrong band they sent me a new one and didn't make me return wrong band. Great quality I will be buying my wife her new watch from them
