Most of us are habituated to wearing a wristwatch. But, wouldn’t you prefer a watch that can show you time, the number of footsteps you have taken, calories you have burnt and the status of your daily fitness goal? The minimalist design of most fitness bands makes them just the perfect accessory for the modern-day fitness enthusiast, who can use it in the gym, in the office, and even in the comfort of their home. If you plan to use your fitness band for long hours, this list is exactly what you need.
When searching for smart bands with long battery life, you are bound to come across the Mi Smart Band 4. The brand was one of the very first companies to make smart bands more accessible to people in developing countries. It comes loaded with features. If you felt that the Mi Smart Band 3 was great – wait till you see this one. This particular model comes with a screen almost 40% larger than its predecessor, with a colourful and touch-sensitive display. With its 20 days of battery backup, you can't be blamed for forgetting the last time you charged your band. It has Bluetooth 5.0 for outstanding connectivity with your phone. It’s 5 ATM waterproof built, meaning you can take it with you for a swim, without any fears.
The Honor Band 5 is a smart band loaded with features such as step-counting, calories burnt, time, date, and phone-notifications. Its TruSeen Heartrate Monitor gives you accurate data on your heartbeat across 24 hours. The SpO2 Monitor keeps tabs of oxygen levels in your blood as you work out, or for when you travel to higher than normal altitudes.
It also comes with 5 ATM waterproofing that allows you to wear it while swimming, but on top of that, it also recognizes your swimming posture, allowing you to make improvements. Other standard features are also quite impressive – a 14-day battery backup and different sport modes for accurate calorie burn analysis.
The Misfit Shine 2 has been engineered as a fitness tracker integrated into a sleep monitor. The ‘ Sleep monitoring’ system is one of the best in the market.
It automatically detects your sleeping pattern and gives you feedback on the quality of your sleep. The slick design makes it seem like it has been pulled from a Sci-Fi movie, but the features are very relevant to this day and age. It has 12-tri-colour LEDs alongside its radial face, that give it a very minimalistic look. It is loaded with features to help you stay motivated to your goals. And wearing it is a different experience in itself since it is made of aircraft-grade aluminium. Its removable battery should ideally be replaced every 6 months.
If you are looking for an all-encompassing fitness tracker, this might just be the perfect one for you. It carries the full stack of features that you would want from a great fitness tracker. You can feed your daily fitness goals by activity or cumulative calorie burn and get alerts on the basis of your progress.
You can also select the perfect activity right before you engage in it, to ensure the data collection on your calorie burn is accurate enough. It also has a slick display which can easily show texts from your SMS, WhatsApp, and Instagram, once it is paired with your phone. To add to all of that, it is water-resistant up to 50 meters and hence is the ideal companion for your swimming routine.
