I'm new to fitness trackers, just recently started looking into them. Here's what I'm looking for.
I've watched some reviews on YouTube and read some articles, but haven't found quite what I'm looking for. Here's a list of bands I've looked at (seen watches, passing on them) and my issues with them so far.
■ Preferably less than $200, but that's not a hard limit.
■ Must be a band. Prefer the more discreet and less invasive feel of a small band.
■ Compatible with Android (Have HTC1 M8, probably a Galaxy S6 before long).
■ More of a daily activity tracker than workout based. Light running.
■ Good app for viewing data (Jawbone good, Mio Fuse is lacking for example).
■ Built in live HR monitor. Not worried about accuracy when exercising.
■ Sleep tracking (this would be primary use for HR monitor).
■ Waterproof. Don't want to worry about rain/shower or occasional pool time.
■ A display. Like the Vivosmart or Fitbit Charge. Small, but useful info.
■ Preferably 5+ days of battery life.
■ [Optional] Food/calorie app integration. Such as MyFitnessPal.
I've watched some reviews on YouTube and read some articles, but haven't found quite what I'm looking for. Here's a list of bands I've looked at (seen watches, passing on them) and my issues with them so far.
■ Jawbone UP3 - Bad strap design and not waterproof. Hearing poor monitoring even though it has a lot of sensors? The UP4 soon?
■ Mio Fuse - App is very lacking. Band is nearing watch levels.
■ Jaybird Reign - Very limited display. Potential iOS priority. App still needs some work.
■ Fitbit Charge HR - Sounds barely splash resistant, big concern.
■ Polar Loop - Just haven't seen much of this one.
