デジモンゴーストゲーム バイタルブレス デジヴァイスｰV-口コミ
It’s thick, it’s really great if you love digimon. There are a lot to choose from depending on which dim cards you get. It’s not really great for much else except for raising Digimon. The app called VB lab is great and I think it’s pretty cool. It’s not comparable to other fitness trackers but if you like having something to tell the time with your Digimon partner it’s definitely worth it. Just be careful not to hit it against anything because these are far from durable nor are they waterproof. BUT as a huge Digimon fan like myself they’re awesome. The app is really fun and it’s worth it in my eyes.
This is possibly the best Vital Brace yet. Training and growing Digimon is much better now with sleep function and you have to manually initialise it to wake and make it sleep. It’s not waterproof and the strap fastening is poor.Since I lost it just after a week of playing, ( the strap came undone while I was walking the dog and I never noticed.) Now I have to hope I can save for another if they are ever stocked.
I’m a long-time fan of the Digimon virtual pets who’s owned nearly every iteration since my parents imported me the
Pendulum Progress Dragon’s Roar back in 2003. Frankly, the raising Digimon V-pets are my favorite part of the Digimon Franchise. With that said here are my honest in-depth thoughts on the Digivice V.
I’ve been waiting for a modern, color, Digimon V-pet with a fun new take on raising Digimon for over a decade and I can confidently say this device delivers mostly on what I wanted.
Doing physical exercises to train Digimon gave me a refreshing new way to play Digimon that I’ve been eagerly waiting for and I feel healthier while doing it! Plus there’s a real sense of accomplishment when your Digimon evolves into its final stage because of the hard work you put in to achieve it.
With all this said, unfortunately, there were lots of issues that hurt the user experience on the first model.
Things like having to wear the bracelet all day, not being able to exercise at times that best fit your schedule, and lastly, something that affected me the most as an African American melanated person of color. Losing vitals constantly. A real bummer!
I can happily say, however, that all of those problems have now been fixed in this new version the Digivice V!
The brilliant new sleep mode gives the user a real sense of freedom and in the two months, I’ve had the Digivice V I have had no issues with the device scanning my skin. No longer do I lose vitals and when I exercise it’s reflected in the different readings of the heart rate sensor.
In summary, my experience with this new model has been nothing short of delightful! A stark contrast from my miserable
experience with the first model
I am very thankful Bandai is taking the Vital Bracelet seriously and listening to the needs and suggestions of the fans.
With all this said there are a few things that keep me from giving the Digivice V, a full star rating. While this Device fixes all the previous problems there still is something missing… You could say a ” vital ” element that separates the magic of the Digital Monster V-pets from a typical battle-centric anime Digivice.
Well, to put it bluntly, the Digimon just don’t feel ” real ” on this device. Gone are the care mistakes, The feeding, the pooping, Digimon walking around the screen, and the interactions with your Digimon. Now the Digimon just stands in place waiting for your orders like a mechanical dog very similar to the Digivice series which never really fascinated me as a kid.
Yes, the Digimon do different animations based on your movement and heart rate but they are always reflective of what you as a user are doing.
The Digimon don’t do anything independent of the user’s actions.
The sense that this is a real creature that you are caring for in your pocket is now gone. For fans of the raising Digimon V-pets like me, this could be a major factor in how much or little you’ll enjoy this product.
I hope with future versions Bandai finds a way to make the Digimon feel more ” alive again “. whether it’s bringing back the care raising elements or coming up with something completely new.
I just want my Digimon to feel more alive again with the magic that captivated me as a child.
besides that major element flaw, here are some other things that I think would help the end product.
1. Make the Heart rate sensor even more accurate.
2. Make the Vital Bracelet Waterproof and more durable to scratches and damage.
3. Consider changing the Vital Bracelet’s connectivity to Bluetooth
4. Make the screen and Digimon sprites larger. The sprites are so amazing it’s a shame they are so small. The sprites are actually smaller than the ones in the original 16×16 1997 Digital monster, and that really disappointed me.
I would really like to see a Vital bracelet that removes the bezel on the sides of the screen, making the screen cover the whole front surface.
5. Make PvP battles wireless. It feels outdated using Vs dims to battle and takes away from the ” magic ” of battling wirelessly.
6. implement A modern battle system on the Vital Bracelet.
The battles still feel very outdated.
7. More daily hard missions, exercising elements, and interactive things to do on the Vital Bracelet in general.
8. Bring in a money and item system onto the vital bracelet.
9. Expand the adventure maps on the Dim cards with more stages and non-raisable enemies. Plus have battles every 500 steps until the boss.
10. Have more things to do than just ” battle “. Outside of just battling constantly, there’s nothing really to do on the Vital Bracelet. I think Digimon would do good to take some elements
from its sister, Tamagotchi who’s devices are filled with content and tons of different things to do.
11. Focus on putting more content on the Vital bracelet rather than on the app. The app should complement the Vital Bracelet not the other way around.
12. Have a longer and more secure watch strap. One that will universally fit children and adults.
Well, that’s it, I believe the Vital Bracelet is a wonderful product with a lot of room and potential to grow. I can’t wait to see what’s new in Version 2!
I love the new quality of life upgrades on the digivice V. Better screen, you get to decide when you want to make your digimon go sleep manually there is no sleep schedule, better vital system and it seems to read my vitals without any modifications unlike the old VBDM! And the Evo timer never stops unless you put it in the app. Over all it’s a great Vpet/Toy.
前回発売されてた物よりかはデジモンの成長がしやすくなってます。デジモンの睡眠が自動→任意に変更されてます、しかも成長に必要な時間も経過します。前回、成長させる事が出来なかった人でも簡単にデジモンを成長させる事が可能になっています。
ただこの程度ならばアップデートできたのではと感じました。
改めて販売するのであればまだやれる事があったと思います。
耐久性については
保護フィルムを貼る前に画面を少し柱に擦りつけてしまったのですが画面に白い跡が出来てしまいました。遊ぶ前にはフィルムを貼る事をオススメします。
Its fun and works quite accurately as a pedometer, sometimes app transfer is a pain but thats mostly my phones fault, and apparently this isn’t water resistant either although I haven’t tested that.

10/10 I don’t care what country you’re in, buy it and enjoy it!
デジモン世代(30歳児)で興味があったものの評判が良くなく見送っていましたが、
新型の発売でどんなもんだという悪い興味半分、コロナ禍で運動不足なのでスマートウォッチ代わりに運動する機会創出に期待半分で購入しました。
以下、初日でがっかり残念過ぎた点を”公式へ届け”とレビューに至ります。
○：遊び方
始めたばかりなので多くには語れませんが、事前情報や触ってみて気軽に遊ぶ分には問題なさそう。
個人的にはストレージカプセルはDimカードvlo1~3買えば充足しそうなので不問
×：防滴防水
半年の改善を経てなぜこの手洗い時代に防滴防水を実装しなかったのか。
製品コンセプトがコロナ禍で逆風なのはわかりますが……散歩系玩具・アプリとしてデジモンが復権・再生を狙った割に本気度が感じられませんでした。
×：大人も使えるといった誤認広告
8歳児以上の子供向け製品である事を踏まえたうえで、実際の購入層からか大人もスマートウォッチとして使えるという広告がされています。
が、スマートウォッチにしてはデカすぎる、ダサい。Amazonで同価格帯スマートウォッチでもサイズ半分くらいですしタッチパネル操作です。
機能的な面を考慮したとしてもデザインの甘さ、後述のアプリも含めて商品設計の姿勢など大人を満足させようとは思えない作りなので”しょせん子供向け”かという感想を抱きました。
△：時間設計
デジモンにより朝型/夜型など時間と共に生活しますがそれが大人や今の生活時間に合わないと。
時刻設定をずらすなどの運用でカバーできるそうですが腕時計としての存在価値がなくなる上、アプリとの連動が手間になるそうです。
リアルの時刻設定とデジモン達の仮想時刻設定ができれば解決できるのになと思いました。
△：アプリの出来
アプリ開発技術者がいないのか使いづらいUI
例えばミッション達成/プレゼントの項目で一括受取がなく1個1個受け取らないといけないアプリが今時あるのだと思いました。
初心者への親切心か各ページ(図鑑やアイテム、バトルの更に内部の1ページごと)を見るとミッション達成→プレゼント配布という作りになっていますが、逆にそのせいでプレゼント受取のページで連打する羽目になります。
今後に期待です。
ちなみにアプリの問合せボタンから実際に問合せ発信まで至るまでの難易度の高さも残念なのでたぶんおもちゃ側もアプリ側も”ユーザーに寄り添った考えは無い”作りです。
ともあれ買ったからには防滴防水スリム化、機能改善を果たした黒色/白色や新色が出ることに期待しながらしばらく遊んでみようと思います。
＊アグモン/ガブモンDimとDimカードホルスター(魔界Dim)も購入
