It seems quite accurate compared to the Samsung Heath app, but the later adds mid-level sleep and an efficiency rating for convenience. The sleep app interprets body movement over time into deep, light or awake. There is a step length adjustment where you walk a known distance (say the edge of a 25m pool), count your steps and enter the data into the app to make it more accurate.

It works on iOS, Android and even has a Windows 10 desktop app – great. Her take – a one-year battery does limit things (in comparison to a crossover or smartwatch), but it is worth it not to have to recharge! She ventures it is not sufficiently elegant replace her Omega day watch but fine for walking and sleeping. She decided to try it 24/7 (apart from a shower – but it is swim proof to 5ATM) – and at 25g it is light enough to wear all the time. My wife volunteered to test it and immediately took the black band off and put on the white one. The display is a sunlight-visible, transflective eight-colour memory-in-pixel but it is a lot duller in real life than shown on the website and has too small a font if you need to wear reading glasses. It stores up to four weeks of data and syncs to the smartphone when in range. It displays time, steps, remaining step goal, kilojoules burned (divide by four for calories), distance travelled that day, weekly intensity in minutes, weather (max/min temperature), move bar and if you beat yesterday. The first impression is a smallish, light (25g), fitness band with a prominent matte chrome button and an 11mm square, colour display. Note that the app is used for many Garmin devices and not everything applies to a basic tracker.

The fitness tracker in a choice of colours – black, white (optional strap colours available)ĭownload the Garmin Connect app, pair via the app, set up a Garmin account, and again that is it.

The Vivofit 4 is a fitness tracker with very few crossover features to conserve battery life for that one-year magic use. This also has GPS, Wi-Fi and a lot more sensors. If it has an eSIM, it can also make and take phone calls. It adds a few more sensors like a heart rate monitor.Ī smartwatch (like the Samsung Gear S3) can do almost everything a smartphone can do. So, if it moves, it can be tracked, and the app takes the raw data and interprets it.Ī crossover (like the Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro) pairs to a smartphone to bring across things like notifications, and a music library. There are fitness trackers like this which do basic automatic fitness tacking like walking, running, sleep tracking activity tracking, using a multi-axis (usually 3) accelerometer.
