Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Introduction
  • Indicate why you wanted to buy the product or item and which of the manufactures's promises made you decide to buy this particular product.

  • I bought Spry's Fitness Tracker because I wanted an affordable fitness tracker. 
  • By monitoring my daily activity levels I thought this tracker would motivate me to exercise more.
  • According to the product details, it also monitors your sleep quality, so I hoped it could also help me with my sleeping problems.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Body paragraph 1
  • The body of a product review should answer questions consumers who are considering buying the product might have, such as:
  • Is it high or low quality?
  • Is it useful for someone like me? (pros and cons)

  • The strap was a little stiff at first, but only for the first few days. I was pleasantly surprised to find that charging the tracker only took ten minutes.I love the calorie counter and sleep monitor most. The app is easy to use and works well

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Body paragraph 2
  • What is my experience with the product?
  • Does it give good value for money?

  • This model has fewer functions than most other trackers, so if you want more versatility you'll be better off with a more expensive tracker. However, it is much more compatible with my mobile than the three expensive Shipshape trackers I've had before. Hopefully, the software's better too because the Shipshape trackers all became faulty within a few months!

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Conclusion
  • In the conclusion you sum up what's good and bad about the product and give your overall evaluation
  • Did the product live up to the manufacturer's promise?
  • Did it offer good value for money?
  • How many stars would you give it?
  • Would you recommend it?

  •  It is a really decent and affordable tracker. As far as I'm concerned, it was well worth the purchase. 
  • It is not as versatile as some of the more expensive models, but it has all the functions a basic tracker needs: it'll track your activity, daily steps, calories consumed and burned. On top of that it monitors your sleeping patterns and reminds you to become more active when you haven't moved for a while. I'm really happy with it! ★★★★☆
