Just switched from a Microsoft Band 1.
These are great. Very intuitive wth lots of fitness tracking options. Also tracking GPS a connected phone. The added motivational prompts are subtle but effective.
On a side; will take notifications from the phone and if you need, offers music control of your phone.
The changeable strap options mean you can wear it in formal settings too.
Hope that helps.

Thanks :smile: I genuinely didnt realise they were making one,
I've been put off by smart/fitness watches so far because its either missing GPS function, semi decent heartbeat sensor and/or a proper software/hardware company to build in proper apps (ie google play).

Welcome.
Just to add. Wear it as a watch and the fitness tracking is a useful feature. Only noticeable by you.
The charging system not well thought out though.

I've had one for about 8 months now. I'd say save your money. No wrist fitness tracker accurately measures heart beats during exercise. They just get wet with sweat and are highly inaccurate. Yes it counts steps and can give you alerts to 'keep moving' but it's simply not worth the money for proper tracking of exercise.

Always wanted one, but apart from the heart rate thing, do they do much more except tell the time?
