You do your exercises, do the app stuff if you want, and turn it to battle mode... but it's got more in common with those LCD toy digivice games than v-pets.
But I still think they're cool devices in their own right.
And because they're so low maintenance, I feel like I can run a real v-pet alongside the vital bracelet without it feeling like i'm taking on too much. Also it's nice to have something that incentivizes me to get up and move around. I actually feel weird when I'm going for an evolution that requires me to get less trophies so i've been doing my exercises without activating the vital brace.
I get one if it looks interesting to you. Just don't get it as a substitution for a v-pet, and maybe think about picking up a real v-pet to run along side it.
I do think it's pretty shitty though that this is very likely the future of Digimon v-pets for a few years though... I think it's gonna be at least five years before we get a non VB v-pet and that makes me sad.
