Things to consider when buying a fitness band
But before we list down the products available for your needs in the market. We thought of sharing some insights that could help you make the right buying choice. Here are of the basics to look for when getting a fitness band in this budget.
- Size and comfort: Just like watches, fitness trackers also come in different sizes and it is not guaranteed that all will fit your needs. So, make sure you know the right size for your wrist, in order to make the best of the built-in sensors, and also the comfort factor which allows you to wear it for long hours.
- More the features, the better: Just because they don’t cost a bomb does not mean you cannot expect multiple features on these fitness trackers. In fact, the modern day fitness bands give you all the critical sensors like SpO2, heart rate monitor, sleep tracker and even GPS for that matter. Go with what suits your requirement, and budget.
- Durable fitness trackers make sense: You are buying this as a paired accessory to workout, go swimming or tag along for your treks. So, it is imperative that the fitness tracker you buy has the durability attributes to sustain such needs. Get bands that have a minimum of 5ATM water resistant rating, or even IP68 water and dust resistance, if that’s what you really need.
- Smartphone on your wrist: Fitness trackers essentially pair with your smartphone to become the second screen on your wrist. This way you get call alerts, message notifications and even control music playback while on the run. Such features are a luxury but something we recommend you to consider while buying such gadgets.
- Battery life: The last thing you want is charging your fitness tracker every day. You might be think that any device with so many features isn’t going to last you long. But thankfully the software optimisation now delivers over a weeks of backup. And ideally you should go with the tracker that gives you the best value for every charge.
