Digimon's Vital Bracelet Digivice V Review | Watch This Before You Buy! Digimon x FitBit 

Great news! This Digivice Vital Bracelet is releasing in English speaking markets, renamed the VITAL HERO. It'll be way easier for people to get. No more imports. More info in my new video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pa-5wpACfxQ.html

I’ve showed about 10 strangers my virtual friend when I got one, and they had the impulse to give me chocolate for some reason?

I remember the day when I bought my first digivice toy in the store beside my school during grade 1, good times. And 20 years later, they are selling this new version of digivice: bracelet, it sure make you feel time flys.

One thing to note is that the Digivice V is NOT waterproof yet, personally for a workout/outdoor device I'd definitely prefer waterproofing on it for some level of decent longevity. Now the Digivice-V is a second iteration of the Vital Bracelet with some decent improvements, however we can't be sure if there would be further improved versions of the Digivice-V as the series progresses as this 'second' iteration might just be due to them wanting to rename the vital bracelets to tie it in with the airing of Ghost Game whilst throwing in some quality of life improvement. Most Digivices gets multiple upgraded version as their corresponding series airs but it's been years since we got a proper digivice run so who knows, I do hope they have plans to introduce a mid-season upgrade Digivice-V and a end-season Digivice-V, accompanied by more QoL improvements and content (like proper varied battles and even story mode etc). But for all we know this might be the only physical digivice we'll get for ghost game.

I love how you referred to your audience / consumers as digidesitned around the world. Because it is true! We are the digidesitned. Now we can enter the digital world!

Just want to add on that the companion app is pretty essential for tamers as thats where you store the beloved digimon that you raised. More capsules can be earned through raid battles as the capsule that come with each DiM will not be enough

I really like the Vital Bracelet but my biggest complaints are: No real interaction, you can't choose moves or feed your 'mons. Not waterproof! There's even a swimming evolution for pulsemon but you can't take it in the water or use it in the rain. I really think that's a huge oversight.

I’m always a sucker for watch-related devices in fiction, so yes, I think this digivice is pretty cool. Thanks for showing it’s functionality!

The vital bracelets, including Digivice V are all actually watered down yet at the same time more advanced Digimon V-Pets, they got rid of a lot of the care features aside from injury and mood. They no longer poop. Not sure about the hero ones though but they seem to still have the evolution line functionality through form changes so I imagine the functionality is mostly the same.

Having a lot of fun with mine, training my gammamon dim and impmon dim and starting agumon to jogress for better evolutions. The two weak spots for me are like you said the bland adventure missions and for me, they should give you more ability to "play" with your digimon, maybe a pokemon amie or pixel hangout screen for the app, place digimon in backgrounds you can unlock and they can interact with certain things in it.

Like the background music? I’ve just released a playlist featuring all the songs on TheDigiKnow from 2020-2021 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x5mDWUNxufQ.html lofi digi radio slowed & reverb beats to digivolve to Enjoy! Play it in the background while you’re working / studying / digivolving !

Really glad I found your channel recently, your content is great!

I wish i could subscribe twice... I really like how you said that at the beginning, making it more for us then doing it for yourself...

Considering these can get updates, it's possible they're holding off on the enemies to avoid spoilers. In fact, the whole canon evolution lines for the ghost game tamers' digimon don't seem to be in the thing yet because humulos' evolution guide, datamined and dumped from the app doesn't have the full lines yet. Gammamon's canon line is the only one so far that goes to Ultimate (probably because it comes with the Digivice) while Angoramon and Jellymon only go to rookie with their canon champions and ultimates listed as "unknown" and _none_ of the megas are original to Ghost Game, which makes me think they might sell seprate DiM cards for those.

Ok. I am very interested in this- but I think I’ll wait until they add more to the formula. If they have an app to augment the experience, i hope they kinda do a Pokémon amie side app to actually tend your partner or something to really up the partner experience. Tempted greatly- but I feel like this can only improve. I think I’ll hold for now and see where this goes.

You're so lucky to have owned a season 3 digivice. I wanted one so bad when they were popular and never got one. I only had the season 4 digivice which wasn't even my favorite season, lol.

As a 26 year old who grew up watching Digimon, one of my favorites, I bought literally yesterday as soon as I found out this existed, I’m so happy right now

I watched a lot of video reviews on the vital bracelet and your video was the best! Thank you. I put the digimon v on my christmas list and got one! Well still waiting to get it really. BF order it late. Thank you! Also, I didn't know there was a new digimon show until I saw your videos too! Thank you Thank you thank you! Awesome videos! Keep it up!

I knew I was supposed to walk with the Digivice, (Season 3, Tamers) but I had two problems. I didn't want to just walk in circles to trigger it and I was having trouble getting it unclipped and in front of my face in time. So instead me and my friend took turns using his pogostick to just bounce in place. One of us would bounce with it until it beeped, the other would do the actual fight. We got all the way to the final zone like that, it was tough. We ended up losing our blue card though and couldn't find a replacement (we were kids. We didn't know we could probably just use some kind of faux-card) and could only use normal attacks bu pushing the button as a result. We eneded up running out of stored item moves and soft locked ourselves, unable to progress. In all honesty though, it was a ton of fun, I loved it.

I still use my Orange D3 V2! I still shake it, walk it and when my arms get tired of shaking I clip it to my sock and bounce my leg to rack steps. Now I really want one of these! Good review! Thanks!

Just received my Vital Bracelet preorder (the one that also includes the Ancient Warriors DiM card!) from Premium Bandai, along with the Agumon, Gabumon, Volcanic Beat, and Blizzard Fang DiM cards. Loving it so far (same for the phone app), though I only have one Rookie right now (Veemon), and he's sleeping because it's late, so no battles or other stuff just yet. Yeah, it's definitely a game first and exercise device second, but I think it's going to be exactly what I need - motivation to get up and be more active!

Just got mine! So excited!

Love the Digimon VB, but I hope the app adds a friend list so I can battle my buddies specifically as we live all over the US.

I have so many fond memories of playing with a Digimon Frontier Digi Vice

Great video and interesting review, I've been thinking about getting my own Vital Bracelet

My brother used to own a Digivice (The OG red one), but we lost it over the ages. That said, now that I watched this review... I want to grab a Digivice VB special edition for both Pulsemon and Veemon, because why not? Exercise and have fun at the same time.

Been thinking about getting one of these which is the reason I found this video, but after knowing you can only battle yourself on the bracelet is kinda of bummer. With the Poke Walker that came with Heart Gold and Soul Silver you could catch and battle different types of Mons. Think I’ll be sticking with the Poke Walker till another updated version comes out or I find it at a really good price

I just accidentally bought the original VB and the Digivice V so idk if there’s any perk to that but I’m stoked about all the Digivolution lines I’m about to experience!

adventure mode is only to unlock a hidden evolution that you can't get by just exercising. also it is advised to do it when your digimon is as strong as can be as you are going to fight all the lines in order to unlock the digimons hidden evolution.

Have you thought of making a follow up video on the vb? I always see one week o one month reviews but I'd love to see how much your opinion has changed over these past few months. Would you still recommend it, have you encountered any issues?

Thanks for the video! Could you help me to understand why sometimes when my digimon is awake and walking a blacl and white square appear on top of it? Like an intermitent error... not sure if mine is faulty

I recently got the blue wolf howl featuring gabbumon and feel like it should help me embrace my fitness more (note not like a fit bit but more like a game kinda thing cause this is a toy/game that I like) so I can’t wait to start raising my little gabbumon

I just started Ghost Game, hadn't watched a Digimon show since after frontiers, and ermagurd! I love Gammamon! Ordered one and now I'm also watching the reboot of Adventure now, and I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

I had the Yellow Adventure 2 Digivice and I shook the hell out of it as a kid as well.

Just watched Digimon Ghost Game reviews and now I'm hooked on this channel lol

When I was a kid, I had the season 1 Digivice (I think it was Sora's, I got it because it was Red); the D3 (Had one from each wave. One was Davis/Daisuke's, and the other was the one with the black translucent secondary colors); a D-Terminal; and D-Tector (Takuya's). As an adult I had the Data Link they released stateside and recently (Christmas 2020) got some of the 3rd Wave Digital Monster Ver. 20th (I got the black one for me, the glow in the dark one for my son, and the pink one for my daughter). I used to shake the hell out of them, all the way through the D-Tector. But it also had me exploring the land and staying active, running my ass off. Was not ready for the legit Digital Monster V-Pets, though, and neither were my kids. I managed to get a Devimon before he ended up dying. My kids had theirs for a week over at their moms and ended up losing them for a bit, so needless to say their Digimon also died. 🤣 Someone got me an Impulse City Vital Bracelet for Christmas (Bandai had them for a pretty decent price on Cyber Monday) and I have been waiting as patiently as possible for it. It's supposed to be here this month, but we all know how the mail situation has been for the last few months it seems like. Super excited, so glad they localized the VB Lab app. I've been keeping myself occupied by jumping into the arena when it is available--I think I was ranked somewhere in the 300-400 bracket of the Rookie Level Arena yesterday. This vid helped to answer some of the questions/concerns I had regarding the bracelet. Now am even more excited for it to actually get here.

You are amazing! I appreciate your videos!

Great video. I really liked the different approaches to review the device (fitness/game/digimon product), made a lot of sense because of the aspects of it (has companion app, fitness features, but it's all about digimon). Thanks for mentioning that about the battles in the bracelet being always against your same line-up, that's kind of a let down for me too. Perhaps I will wait for a next version... not sure... I'd also like waterproofing, not because I plan to exercise with it, but more as a security measure in case of accidents (I would not want my digivice ruined!)

Missed the times of pokewalker/tamers digivice toy time So it’s been a good couple of years and as per usual every January is a bit more fitness vibe So was actually considering buying one I’ll wait for a deal online or for new versions hopefully waterproof still, I’m missing pokewalker step counters so who knows I’ll consider it and maybe add more Digimon partner chips lol

I just saw ur dark amiibo that makes me happy : )

I need this thing. At least, something to keep me company when im alone at school.

I remember wanting one of the old digivices so badly

Just got my Ghost Game VB in yesterday! Ty! ❤

Does anyone know if you have the original vital bracelet, if you can use the new dim cards like Jellymon and Gamamon? I got the older one for my birthday and wanted to ask before I buy them. Wasnt seeing discussion on that online.

Ya bruh when he couldn't get that schmeat and started crying I fell in love.

Is it ok as a basic smart watch? I'm eyeing the Ver Kamen Rider model because I just want Kuuga on my wrist and something that tells time accurately.

I never had a digivice my whole life yet here I am, still watching this. 🤣

i never really liked pokemon go because though you exersise your still glued to a screen. bandi really hit the nail on the head it looks motivating and just as fun

Well darn. Now I feel like I wish I got this before I got my original vitalbracelet. I need to learn how to use it and figure out how to be able to play this having a schedule where all my free time to walk is at night

Thank you this was very helpful

Got mine this Monday and I'm having tones of fun

This is, really close to something I've been thinking about for afew days about a Digimon Pokemon go style game. I think it they made it purly for phones and the Fitbit was a optional add on the it could be awesome

My brother got me the first model for my birthday and preordered terriermon for me and im so giddy i love it! Also yes i used to shake my digivice too lol!

Got an og digivice on its way and in a few weeks ill be ordering one of these!

I have one wearing now and enjoy it!! I had to buy an extension though for it to fit comfortably

Season two device was so much fun.

When you mentioned I just realized that when I had a digivice from the frontier series that I should have been walking with it not just shaking it 🤣

You should add some clarification for using a dim multiple times. You described it as "resetting" the watch, when you just have to put your current digimon in storage (either in the watch or the app, both work), then just insert the dim card again.

TheDigiKnow: "Did you shake it? Me: "Like a Polaroid picture."

Please get yourself a DMX if you haven't already! Great video, thanks for sharing!

Just ordered mine 🎉

Its fun. Keeps you active

If they come out with Veemon, I'm sold!

What digimon do you wish for a dim card? I want hawkmon to get a dim really badly

@TheDigiKnow.. is there any chance that you can add closed caption or English subtitles on this video? I m interesting to know about this new Digimon bracelet.

Someone should make an app that emits an NFC wave with a specific digimon in its code when scanned so that way you can fight any digimon you want

I live in Japan so I might give it a try after this video

I feel the same now that I've seen Loogamon. I gotta have one! But will it be playable in the states (translated) I haven't played since 02

Bought one of these online yesterday to go along with my home treadmill. Don’t know if I can drop and start shadow boxing during work lol. Apparently it has a sleep mode, so I don’t have to worry about during work

Is the new digimon series in the same timeline as the reboot? Haven't watched in a few years

Man my first digivice was from digimon data squad I had the digivice Burst I enjoyed it back as I kid

I used to grab it with two hands one on the top and one on the bottom of the digivice and then make the digivice flip really fast in the air to get a little extra boost in steps lol

If it makes sounds does it have a volume button I don’t need it going off at work.

I did shake my digivice as a kid but later just played the minigames which also gave you steps and didnt make my wrist fall off

When I was 11 my mom bought me Davis D2 digivice wish I took better care of it and didn't Iose it. I also use to shake it with my hand lol. I bought the black vital version one, but gonna sell it probably get the 3 version when ever it's made. Wish they would release a Exveemon or Veemon Dim card that's not bundle with lime green bracelet.

I'm glad I waited until they release a localized version of the app because it was one of my pet peeves getting into something. Also, Gammamon being such a baby in Ghost Game sold me the Digivice V which, at that time, I have no idea that it's an improved version of the OG VB. I thought it's just a design choice. Sadly I accidentally bought a separate Gammamon DiM card not knowing that the VB also comes with it. And yeah I can see a new and better version coming out as the show progresses (inb4 AppDrive DUO). From my experience, it is a toy, just disguised to look like a watch. The material is not that good either, and not being waterproof is a big letdown for what its concept is. The gameplay is interesting by integrating your physical activities into the Digimon's growth, but the battle (esp. on the VB) is basically rock paper scissors with RNG. Some may think that the enemies you face coming from your current evolution line is boring, but I'm ok with it because I don't want to memorize all Digimons' types.

What phone do you have. I ask because my phone isnt compatible with the app

How does this deal with sweat? Easy to clean?

I'm looking into getting one does anyone know the difference between the digivice v versus the digivice characters

How are the devices if I import them? I know that NA just received these but I also heard Japan is getting the digivice BE which is quite superior than the ones that released in NA. Only issue is I would love for it to be in English albeit the names im Japanese are fine.

To be honest, reading the heart rate and counting your step is good enough even for a legit fitness watch. Specially if you workout regularly and know what you are doing. This is actually a really cool looking watch fitness watch like device, with digimon and gaming function. I mean this is actually pretty darn cool i would say.

What stores do you find it at? I know you can find at Amazon, but is there any stores that you can buy it from?

Great video!

love the "gameranx" thumbnail lol

When you tryna stay in shape but unmotivated then this comes out

Hi guys, I'm Italian and I have some questions. But if I use the App, can I play with other players in the world or just with the AI? When I was a child there was no digimon Tamagochi (in Italy) and now I want to buy it. But if an object is an end in itself, I don't know if I will like it. Thanks in advance for your answers! ;)

Def gonna get one once they stock

Yeah that’s what we were expecting. But what I wanna know is how accurate it is at tracking vitals. I don’t want a personal trainer just wanna know if it’s able to keep track of step and heart beats per min

I am almost done with the Gammamon dim line only left is the Betel and Canoweiss and it made me very tired

I had a season 4, but kid me lusted over a season 3. I would buy one now, at full retail price, if they updated it and made it look a tad bit more premium.

I have the vb but my phone doesn't have nfc which is kind of a bummer, i cant use the app this way

Where did you buy it from

while this vital bracelet is primarily meant for Digimon there are also dimcards based on other franchises like Kamen rider and Ultraman. does the Digimon vital bracelet app work with the non-digimon characters or is there another app/apps that are coming down the line?

great video, i'm still going to hold off getting one since i think for a wearable fitness device it should have water resistant

Wow, wish I saw this video 20 minutes ago before I impulse bought it on Amazon

love the thumbnail

8:56 Think it's worth pointing out that with shipping and tax, the P-Bandai US total for the English version was $81.17 USD (because I did pre-order it) but the thing was indeed listed as $65 USD

Honestly the only reason I want this is so I can have a watch with my own Guilmon in it. The app and battle aspects are just a nice bonus.

What's the companion app called? There's a lot in playstore. Which is the official one?

Where can I find this item to buy in retailers stores? I m deaf, do I have to hear noise from speaker as audible?
