Principle of operation

Fitness bracelet syncs with iPhone or a smartphone any trademark sends a signal to it. Simply put, the product itself is a sensor, and the mobile gadget acts as a device for outputting the obtained indicators. The user only needs to turn on the appropriate application and observe on the screen of the tablet or smartphone all the information collected by the bracelet.

Important! Remember that a fitness bracelet is just an indicator of the results of your efforts and nothing more. And in order for the displayed data to be a joy to you, appropriate efforts must be made. If you have not yet decided on the training schedule and type, we recommend reading our articles:

The question immediately arises: why give money for a “smart watch” if the same function can be performed by a no less smart smartphone or iPhone? All this is correct, but to attach a mobile device to the wrist, to put it mildly, is problematic, but there are no such problems with the bracelet.

Important! There are models of “watches” in a waterproof case, which can not be removed even in the shower. With smartphones, such “numbers” do not work.

If you are not sure which fitness bracelet to choose, our rating review will help you.

Xiaomi Mi Band: 1s and 2 models

The Chinese company Xiaomi has become famous for producing pretty good high-tech gadgets, selling them at low prices. Models of fitness bracelets 1s and 2 are quite deservedly popular.

We are not talking about any revolutionary technologies, but gadgets are quite suitable. Here are their main advantages:

• Cheapness.
• A set of necessary functions.
• Stylish design.

Important! Bracelets from "Xiaomi" are made waterproof. It is also convenient that the “smart filling” can be inserted into another case if necessary.

Xiaomi Mi Band 1S Pulse

Entry-level budget model. She has no display, only indicator LEDs. For this reason, to obtain the necessary information, you need to connect the tracker with a mobile device.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2

This is a more advanced option, with an OLED display and a touch button:

• Due to more sophisticated equipment, the thickness of the device is slightly larger than the modifications of Xiaomi Mi Band 1S Pulse.
• Compared to the younger model, the pedometer here works with greater accuracy. However, the battery life is somewhat less.
• Both versions support Android OS and iOS 7. From Android, the device works more stable. Using third-party software, you can use the device from a PC to Windows.

Important! Since Xiaomi is a Chinese product, the question naturally arises of the durability of the devices. But judging by the reviews on the network, there is no reason for particular concern. The quality of the bracelets, if not better, then in any case, is not worse than that of competing companies. In the ranking of fitness bracelets for Iphone, Xiaomi products are far from the last place.

Jawbone

This American brand produces fitness bracelets of 3 modifications:

• UP-Move is a basic option.
• UP2 is a progressive option.
• UP3 is the flagship model.

The progressive UP2 model is bought best because:

• Combines affordable cost with good functionality.
• Such a product weighs only 25 g, the case is made in a stylish discreet design.
• The bracelet looks so beautiful and original that it can be taken not for a functional device, but for decoration.
• The strap has a universal length, suitable for different thicknesses of the wrist.

If you have not yet decided how to choose a fitness bracelet with a heart rate monitor, pay attention to this brand.

Fitbit

The company had a bad experience with the FitBit Force, which caused users to be allergic.A Chinese company, in order not to lose customers, released the Fitbit Charge model, made in the form of a watch.

A cheaper model without a screen, but with LED indicators - FitBit Flex. These models are quite successful, and therefore have taken their place in the ranking of the best fitness bracelets.

Sony

The Japanese decided to keep up with their competitors and added fitness bracelets with nine color schemes and low power consumption to the company's wide range of products.

The notification system is configured by the user, so the squeak or vibration will not bother you constantly. The price of products is also pleasing, especially since the products from Sony have never been cheap.

Polar loop

The company specializes in the production of fitness bracelets. They are very beautiful and functional. The display shows the user's actions (walking, sleeping, etc.).
