Alfawise T9 Full REVIEW: You Don’t Need Smart Scale Anymore!

The wearable market is filled with various fitness bracelets and smartwatches. If world-famous brands, such as Apple and Samsung, still produce one or two wearable devices per year, then Chinese manufacturers introduce new gadgets almost every month.

The latest wearable devices are Xiaomi Mi Band 4 and Amazfit GTR. Yes, the new smart bracelet and the new smartwatch from Xiaomi received some interesting updates, but the Chinese manufacturer didn’t provide any major changes or new technologies.

Alfawise T9: Design

As you understand, this is not an ordinary fitness bracelet, so it does not look like other smart bracelets. The main difference is the two metal panels at the top and bottom of the screen. We will talk about them a little later. Now I’ll just say that they are used to monitor fat, protein and other parameters.

Talking about display, it has a diagonal of 0.96-inches and resolution of 160 x 80 pixels. This is a color TFT display that is clearly visible even on the street.

Alfawise T9 strap is made of TPU or just plastic, and it is not removable.

On the back of the bracelet is a heart rate sensor, two-pin charging connection and two more metal panels.

Alfawise T9 weighs only 30 grams, and it does not feel at all on the wrist. Even the same Mi Band 4 weighs more than the hero of our review.

Alfawise T9: How it works?

Alfawise T9 Full Review: Smart scales no longer needed?

To be honest, I’m not a professional in sports equipment, but after looking at user manual, I found out that Alfawise T9 fitness bracelet works on the same principle as smart scales. The bracelet measures 7 indexes that I mentioned before: fat, protein, muscle mass, etc.

When you get on smart scale, it sends a weak electric current through your body. The substances in our body have different resistance to current. Thus, smart scale receives information about current resistance, and count the fat, water, protein and other parameters.

Most likely, Alfawise T9 also sends an electric current through the user’s body, after which it analyzes resistance and displays data on substances in the body.

Before starting the test, you need to install the app on smartphone and enter information about yourself, such as weight, height and age.

The fitness bracelet really shows information about the fat, protein, muscle mass, BMI, basal metabolism, water and bones salt content. However, I do not have smart scale or any other way to check the data received from Alfawise T9 bracelet. The numbers look convincing, but they are real or not – I can not say.
