A 3,499Php watch that looks pretty slick, the Cherry Fit does alot more that a futuristic looking timepiece. It also acts as an activity tracker and surprisingly a Bluetooth earpiece.

Design and Construction
The main display/ Bluetooth headset is made of metallic brushed finish plastic, with faux leather strap. As it functions as an activity tracker, it would’ve been better if whole thing was made out of rubber material – especially for the strap. The power button on the right side is easily accessible, with no issues.
Since the display can be removed and transformed to be a Bluetooth earpiece, the locking mechanism found on this gadget seems to be easy to use, and sturdy. The USB port for charging is also found behind the display, so removing the main unit will have to be easy, fast, and returning it should be a snap.
Overall, the whole watch looks and feels decent, with the exception of the strap.
Performance
Let’s us start with how it works as a watch. It displays the date, day, time and battery level. You have to sync your Cherry Fit first to you phone via Bluetooth for it to properly display the accurate time. Swiping the display screen up and down – you may check your calories burned, steps made, and to jog/run time.
The secondary function of the Cherry Fit is its activity tracker. I’ve used the Cherry Fit for at least a week, the problem is that the it does not measure steps accurately. It measures the swing of my hands, so if you are a very expressive person, the Cherry Fit will count in arm movements and mistake them for walking movements.
The Bluetooth headset function works pretty well. Sound is clear, and is easy to fit on the ears.
Application
The app – Cherry Fit is great and is easy to use. The UI is straightforward, clear and has features that includes chaning the type of exercise, and fitness goal. You may also change settings for the device on this application; settings like turning on and off the “flip wrist to wake screen”, change of brightness of the display, setting up alarms, changing the date and time, and other settings.
Battery Life
At 100% the Cherry Fit lasts around 2 days. The 100mAH battery charges for a fast 20 minutes for a full 100%.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the CM Fit is a great innovative product, by Cherry Mobile. They could push this product to young professionals who are currently concerned with being fit, and are in need of a decent Bluetooth headset. The problem is, Cherry Fit does not know what it wants to be, the faux leather strap prevents it from being a fitness band, and the strap itself prevents it from being a dedicated Bluetooth earpiece.
But for 3,499Php, the Cherry Fit seems to be a decent product and Cherry Mobile is on the right track if they want to expand into other types of tech devices.
