4 Points-Guide To Help You Buy The Correct Fitness Band

BENGALURU: Steps taken, fat burned, the amount of oxygen inhaled, heart beats, all elements of a workout are measured by most of the fitness trackers. A lot of data! Some useful! Some useless! But it entirely depends on a user’s perspective. Sophisticated products are demanded by those already actively working out whereas motivational products are demanded by the newbie.

Below is the look down on the various features of fitness devices from four leading manufacturers.
 
The recommended devices all claim to be water resistant, so they can withstand sweat or rain. But only Garmin's are designed for swimming and showering. And for Apple Watch, the protection doesn't extend to leather bands as reported by The Times of India.

For the basics

Thanks to its simplicity and wide range of offerings, Fitbit is the market leader in wearable devices. At 8,740 INR, the Fitbit Alta offers basic step tracking. The $200 Fitbit Blaze adds heart-rate monitoring and a larger screen. The 20,000 INR Fitbit Surge adds GPS for better pace and distance readings during outdoor workouts (though all-day step tracking doesn't use GPS to conserve battery).

For running and cycling, the Blaze doesn't have GPS but borrows the one on your phone if you carry it.

All three models come with automatic sleep monitoring. Just check Fitbit's companion app to see how long and how well you've slept. A new feature reminds you to go to bed perhaps too gently, as it's easy to overlook or ignore.

All Fitbits have amazing battery life and can go for several days without a recharge. Their screens aren't as vivid as what rivals offer, though the Blaze has color, a first for a Fitbit.
