I am looking for a fitness tracker band, but I'm puzzled by the
different features and which one might be right for me..................
It provides a new way make your lifestlye a full of info
of your body stats and physical behaviour on daily basis .it very useful
to the extent who want to be fit and make every note of calorie burnt
and eaten.
Depending on your budget, you could pick from a simple tracker without a
screen, to a full-scale watch with GPS and a heart rate monitor... The
Mi Band (Rs 999) lacks a display screen, but you can connect it to the
Mi Fit app (for Android and iOS) to monitor your physical activity,
calories burnt, sleep quality and wake time. When used with a phone, the
band can track your walking route using GPS.
And while it works with all handsets, you get extra features when used
with a Xiaomi phone: The Mi band vibrates just before your morning alarm
sets off to wake you gently and buzzes when you have incoming calls.
This band is good for those who own a Xiaomi handset and need a
feature-packed device without breaking the bank.
The GetActive
Tapp (Rs 4,999) connects to its app on smartphones and an online
dashboard. It calculates the number of steps and calories burnt. On the
web dashboard, you can view records by day, month and year; add and
compete with other GetActive users - and the service even awards virtual
badges for completing fitness milestones. The 'badges' make the service
goaloriented - and the fact that you can add friends to your profile
makes it very competitive.
With the
Goqii band (Rs 3,999) for
three months - Rs 11,999 for one year) you are allotted a personal
trainer who discusses your fitness goals, diet and your medical history
with you to create a customized fitness regimen. The band displays the
number of steps taken, the distance covered in kilometres and calories
burned. Users are encouraged to log details of their sleep time, their
water intake, and also post pictures of the food they've consumed.
Trained coaches use this information to suggest changes in lifestyle.
Goqii's subscription works well for users who need motivation to
exercise. Daily conversations with coaches along with real-world advice
make this service ideal for those who want to change their lifestyle,
but need constant encouragement and guidance.
The
TomTom
Runner (Rs 12,500) comes with proprietary GPS technology for precision
tracking of running routes. It connects with the TomTom MySports Connect
software on the PC where you have to key in your age, weight, height
and gender for more accurate data analysis. Besides, it comes with a
heartrate monitor that lets you keep an eye on your ticker while you
exercise.
The Runner comes with different training modes
including Goals (where you can enter the distance you want to cover, the
time you want to run, or calories you want to burn) and Zones (that
calculates your pace, heart rate and more). Users can also sync this
device with the TomTom MySports app on their phones. This sporty-looking
wristwatch is geared for the serious outdoor fitness enthusiast, who
might perhaps also use the collected data to work along with
professional trainers.
