More and more people are starting to play sports, in particular fitness, and lead a healthy lifestyle. It is predictable that many electronics manufacturers, in an attempt to capitalize on this trend, decided to launch this gadget.

This article will help you choose best fitness bracelet in terms of price / quality ratio. Our rating includes several price segments at once, so that a suitable gadget can be purchased with any budget.

Budget

Huawei Honor Band 3

• Price: 3000 rubles;
• Waterproof;
• touch screen, 0.91 ″, 128 × 32;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity, heart rate monitor.

Our ranking of fitness bracelets opens up the best budget option available at a modest price to almost everyone. A solution from Huawei for only $ 50 will provide you with the necessary minimum of functions for comfortable training in the gym and Everyday life... This bracelet can measure the dynamics of calorie expenditure, your activity in the gym and help you achieve healthy sleep.

In addition to its functionality, this bracelet also boasts protection against moisture, so that accidentally spilled water during a break will not spoil the device at all, and a relatively large touch screen will allow you to conveniently observe various readings.

Huawei Honor Band 3

ONETRAK Life 01

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 1500 rubles;
• OLED touch screen, 0.9 ″;

Fitness bracelet from ONETRAK is strikingly different from the previous model in its price, which is almost 2 times less. However, the bracelet itself is made at a decent level and is not much inferior to the device from Huawei. The screen is practically the same size, the same features are present, besides, it is also shockproof. It should be understood that this protects everything from accidental blows, therefore, we do not recommend purposefully checking this feature.

This bracelet supports both Android and iOS smartphones. Accordingly, both Samsung owners and people who have chosen an iPhone can use it. Great versatile option for a penny.

Samsung Charm

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 1600 rubles;
• LED screen;
• Incoming call notifications;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity.

Having mentioned Samsung in the previous paragraph, it would be wrong not to mention the bracelet from the Korean giant in the world of electronics. It is quite predictable that Samsung Charm only supports Android devices, which somewhat limits the range of users. Due to its price, this bracelet measures important indicators during physical activity and sleep is perfect for almost anyone who wants to try a fitness tracker as such.

Given the price range this model is in, you can't expect anything supernatural from it. What's really exciting is that thanks to the manufacturer, this fitness bracelet works well with Samsung smartphones. Another one interesting feature- this is the lightness of this bracelet, the module that is worn on the strap weighs only 3 grams.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 1550 rubles;
• Waterproof;
• OLED touch screen, 0.42 ″;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity.

Closing the top budget solutions is a fitness bracelet from another large Chinese company - Xiaomi Mi Band 2. There is nothing new compared to the three previous models, but there is a mandatory minimum for this money. The reason why the Xiaomi bracelet came in fourth place is the size of the display. It is almost half the size of the touchscreens on the Huawei and ONETRAK models.

Unfortunately, in the budget segment we did not come across a model equipped with a tonometer and, therefore, measuring pressure. But these options work out their money, so if you urgently need to purchase some kind of bracelet, and you are on a budget, then we recommend one of these four.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2

Middle class

Fitbit Charge 2

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 8500 rubles;
• Waterproof;
• OLED touch screen;
• sleep monitoring, measurement of pressure, pulse, calories, physical. activity.

Based brief description one may ask the question: why overpay more than 5 thousand rubles? The answer is simple: quality, performance, and advanced features. The Fitbit Charge 2 bracelet has a built-in blood pressure monitor that allows you to measure blood pressure and heart rate. In our rating, this is the first fitness bracelet with a heart rate monitor, which also allows you to monitor blood pressure.

What's more, this model is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 support, an altimeter and several other amenities that greatly improve your comfort while exercising.

Mio fuse

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 6200 rubles;
• Waterproof, shockproof;
• LED screen;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity, heart rate sensor, notifications.

Another model with a heart rate monitor, but slightly less capabilities than Fitbit Charge 2. This option can be called the golden mean of the entire market smart bracelets, combining a low price, a good set of functions and a stylish design. This gadget is perfect for iPhone and Android devices as it supports both operating systems. The bracelet is additionally equipped with an accelerometer, thanks to which a system of interaction with the gadget through gestures is realized.

An excellent option for those who lack the functionality of budget solutions, but at the same time do not want to spend more than 6-7 thousand rubles for a bracelet.

Polar Loop 2

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 6300 rubles;
• No screen;
• Incoming call notifications, alarm clock;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity, water resistance, heart rate monitor (when using an optional accessory).

Our 2017 mid-range fitness tracker rounds out the Polar Loop 2. Merits include notifications, alarms, USB, and even 4MB of internal storage. Sounds attractive, but it’s worth digging deeper to find several issues at once that call into question the usefulness of the listed amenities. Incoming call notifications work only on iOS devices, although the bracelet supports 4 OS at once, but the two main ones, Android and iOS, only outdated versions - 4.3 and 8, respectively.

And finally, this bracelet does not have a full screen. It is impossible to say unequivocally that this is a minus of this model, but you need to get used to this, since there is simply nothing to catch your eyes on. The Polar Loop 2 is definitely not a bad option for people on an average budget, but still the drawbacks can overlap the merits of the wristband.

Flagship s

Samsung Gear Fit2

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 11,500 rubles;
• Waterproof;
• with an AMOLED touch screen, 1.5 ″, 216 × 432;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity, altimeter, GPS, extended support for notifications and multimedia.

Looking ahead, we will say that not all phones can boast of such characteristics as Gear Fit. The functionality of the Samsung Gear Fit is simply amazing: here you can use Twitter, Facebook, a built-in player with 4GB of space for your music, and many other features that are difficult to list in this article. Fit 2 got a large 1.5-inch display. This bracelet is equipped with a dual-core processor with a power of 1000Hz, which is impressive.

It has everything that will come in handy while doing sports, and in general it is a great helper in everyday life. There is also an opportunity to check your mail or SMS without touching the smartphone.

Samsung Gear Fit2

Garmin Vivosmart HR +

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 12 300 rubles
• Waterproof, shockproof
• touch screen, 1.08 ″, 160 × 68
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity, heart rate monitor, pressure detection, GPS, notifications.

A well-deserved place in the top of flagships is occupied by a fitness bracelet from Garmin, which can compete for first place with the Gear Fit from Samsung. Having almost the same characteristics, in some way inferior, and in some way superior to the previous version, we decided to place the smart bracelet from Garmin on the second line. Firstly, the screen is smaller by a third, which is striking. Secondly, the supported operating systems are a little outdated, which can also be considered a small drawback.

However, Garmin boasts its Garmin Connect system that can help organize, store and analyze various training data. This is a significant plus for people who monitor the development and change of their indicators.

Garmin Vivosmart HR

POLAR A370

Key characteristics of the bracelet:

• Price: 15,000 rubles
• Color display, 80 x 160 pixels
• Dust and moisture protection;
• sleep monitoring, calories, physical. activity, heart rate monitor, built-in training programs, support for notifications.

After Gear Fit, few bracelets will be able to surprise with their capabilities, but Polar A 370 can do it. Equipped with all the capabilities of its two competitors, the Polar A 370 boasts built-in sports profiles for different loads, an abundance of features that control your lifestyle to help you tidy it up.

What's more, Polar model owners get access to proprietary systems such as Polar Sleep, Sleep Plus and several others. This model is the most expensive, but also has the widest functionality. Nevertheless, sometimes it may seem that there is too much of it and the interface is overloaded with unnecessary things.

We hope that our 2018 fitness bracelet review will help you choose the model you need for a reasonable price. Happy training!

What is a fitness bracelet and what is it for?

Before buying a tracker, you should understand: what is it and what is a fitness bracelet for? What functions does it perform and how can it help? The smart bracelet contains a mini laboratory that is configured to motivate you to lead a healthy lifestyle. This applies not only physical training but also sleep patterns, diet, fluid intake and even stress levels.

What is an accelerometer in a fitness bracelet?

An accelerometer or G-sensor is a built-in sensor that can track steps, heart rate, distances and changes in human activity. For example, some bracelets are equipped with a function that notifies you that you are too busy and it is time to walk. All this thanks to the accelerometer.

But also in some devices you can find a gyroscope. Many people think that this is the same G-sensor, but this is not entirely true. Unlike an accelerometer, a gyroscope detects the change in the angle of inclination of the device in relation to the ground. Thus, the gadget can distinguish when you are jogging, bike ride, fitness or just walking.

The video explains what an accelerometer and gyroscope are in simple words.

Some models are equipped with both those and those sensors, which significantly expands the functionality and usefulness of such gadgets. By the way, the control of heroes or cars in games on a smartphone is also carried out using an accelerometer or gyroscope.

Video review: impressions of the fitness bracelet Samsung Gear Fit 2

As you can see, the choice is quite huge. I reviewed all the models that have positive reviews and popularity in the market. I hope everyone can understand which fitness bracelet is better to buy for themselves after reading the article.

Hello dear readers! We all want to get in good shape, why not use modern technology for this? Fitness bracelet will transform your sports achivments into something even more visible: it will help you motivate yourself and observe progress.

In this article I will tell you which fitness bracelet to choose, how they differ and how they work. Ready? Let's go then!

A fitness bracelet is a smart gadget that tracks your physical activity and displays the collected data through the iPhone IOS or Android app. The functionality is different. Most can read sleep phases, distance traveled, number of steps, etc.

Many have a built-in " smart alarm clock", Which with the help of vibration wakes you up exactly at the time when it would not hurt you to wake up to maintain the formed regime. Moreover, the bracelet wakes you up at the very moment when waking up is most painless.

They are water resistant and designed to be worn 24/7. Specially created compact and "weightless"

What kind of fitness bracelets are there?

Each product is unique and similar to the others at the same time, so it will not be possible to single out any separate categories. Fitness bracelets differ only in functionality, workmanship, battery capacity and thoughtfulness of the application.

Functionality and principle of operation

Some of the bracelet's functions are more like magic than science. I urge you not to take the manufacturers' word for it and figure out its work with me. I will describe the most controversial functions and tell you how it works.

Basic functions of a fitness bracelet

Some models can be classified as smart watches rather than fitness bracelets. I will not touch on these notebooks here. Let's dwell on the analysis of the basic functionality:

• Counting steps. The average person takes 5,000 to 6,000 steps a day. This speaks of sedentary work and limited physical activity. For young people, the norm is 11,000 - 12,000 steps. With the help of a gadget, you can control this.
• Heart rate control. If you are doing morning jogging for weight loss, the pulse should be at least 130 beats per minute, otherwise the result is minimal. The heart rate monitor will let you keep track of this.
• Sleep monitoring. Interestingly, the fitness bracelet is able to understand not only the time, but also the quality of sleep: how long have you been in the deep phase? And in the fast one? This thing knows better than you how well you slept.
• Smart alarm clock. The gadget wakes you up at the specified time. He wakes you up when he thinks that it will be better for your body. I already said that he knows better.
• Calorie counting. Ideal for those who are losing weight. You will know approximately if you can afford to eat an extra bun.

We figured out the main functionality. Now you need to understand how the gadget can read all this information.

Learn more about sleep phases and heart rate monitor

If everything is clear with the counting of steps, then the heart rate monitor and reading the sleep phases raise questions. Let's start with the most interesting feature found in progressive trackers - the heart rate monitor.

People who are used to old blood pressure gauges wonder how something so small and not bloated at all can work?

Surprisingly, heart rate can be measured using optics. The color of the highlighted vessels changes during each strike if the area is sufficiently highlighted. You can check it yourself using your smartphone:

Turn on the camera and turn on the flash. Close both the flash and the camera with your finger at the same time. Look at the screen. Of course, there you will not see anything except your finger illuminated from the inside, but take a closer look: the screen color becomes darker with a certain rhythm. Congratulations! You live, and this is the beat of your heart.

Fitness bracelet with heart rate monitor has an LED on inside... It determines your heart rate by changing the color of blood vessels.

Note! Keep in mind that the error in the heart rate monitor is a maximum of 5%, and the error in calorie counts is a minimum of 20%.

Sleep phases are much easier. They are determined using a sound recording sensor. (in REM sleep, we tend to make more sounds). Based on the information received, the gadget chooses the best time for waking up.

Pros and cons of a fitness bracelet

Should you buy a fitness bracelet? Let's start with the benefits:

• Motivation. It is much easier to work on yourself if you can evaluate the result in numerical terms.
• Control. You can make your morning runs more productive by studying your distance and heart rate.
• Cool alarm clock. Vibration is much more pleasant to wake up than sound. It feels like someone just touched your hand while you were sleeping.

Of the minuses, only a weak calorie counting function and the need to wear a bracelet constantly for accurate results can be distinguished. Fortunately, they are made quite lightweight and compact. Only the first 1-2 days will be unusual.

How to choose a fitness bracelet?

Choose a gadget based on the functionality, the convenience of the application, the battery capacity, the ability to sync with different devices and, of course, the brand. A recognizable brand is the only guarantee that you are getting a smart gadget and not a cute accessory.

Note! After purchasing, check the accuracy of the results. You can independently count the steps or check for what manipulations the device "thinks" that you are in motion. The gadget should not mistake gestures for physical activity.

It is desirable that the bracelet is waterproof - with a sealed and flexible rubber strap. It should not slip or cling to clothing.

Top 5 best sports bracelets

A good fitness bracelet can be bought for about 3000 rubles. It can be even cheaper if you order with aliexpress. Especially for you, I have selected five inexpensive and functional gadgets that you should pay attention to:

Samsung Gear Fit

Suitable for guys who are looking for not just a fitness bracelet, but a "smart" watch. You can't dive with a gadget, but the functionality is amazing: heart rate, pedometer, diary for exercising in the gym, player control, displaying SMS messages, weather forecasts and much more.

Charges quickly - about half an hour to 100%. Unfortunately, it is only suitable for Samsung and only for the Galaxy line.

Now to the cons: the manufacturer claims that the gadget holds a charge for 5 days. No, it doesn't. Only 2 days with active use. The heart rate monitor also has a large error, and the device itself is not suitable for every type of clothing.

Polar Loop

An interesting device that synchronizes not only with mobile systems, but also Windows, OS X. For the owners of this gadget, even a small social network has been invented where you can compare your results with the results of other users

Excellent water resistance, customizable bracelet length and bright screen are undeniable benefits.

On the other hand, the device is too sensitive. It will readily consider any sudden movement of the hand to be a full step.

Misfit shine

In this top, there simply could not be a gadget that can be bought in the Apple Store. The device was not designed by Apple, but it is done in the same spirit. Activated by tapping on the tablet, not only suitable for iPhone.

The magnetic closure offers a variety of wearing styles. So, for example, while cycling, it is recommended to attach the gadget to the boot.

Note! There is no smart alarm function, but the device can calculate the sleep phases.

The device does not differ in any special features or price. It is in this top only because of its appearance... This is actually the most elegant fitness bracelet you can find on the market.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2

Concise and simple tracker. Battery operated and can maintain autonomy for about 20 days. There is no smart alarm and GPS function, but everything else is as it should be: sleep monitoring, counting steps and calories, notifications about calls and SMS.

The main advantage is the price. The gadget costs only 1200 rubles.

Sony SmartBand SWR10

Now that's something. The device is absolutely waterproof, all the necessary functionality is present. The smart alarm clock is especially good. Vibrates unobtrusively and exactly in the phase of shallow sleep. It is very pleasant to wake up.

By tapping on the body, you can switch and pause the music on your smartphone. To do this, you need to download a special music player.

The only drawback of the device is that it completely refuses to work with any version of IOS and versions for android below 4.4. The charge lasts as much as stated - 5 days.

Note! Devices of low and medium price category were presented here. Of course, I could recommend Jawbone Up3, which can tell you a lot about the effects of stress and coffee on your heart rate. But I doubt that any of you will want to give more than 10,000 rubles for a fitness bracelet.
