Fitness Bracelet for Windows Phone

Fitness trackers have recently become more than just a sports accessory; today, fitness bracelets are also acquired by simple office workers who want to stay fit but not be too zealous on the treadmill in the gym. These days, smart bracelets can not only count the number of steps, showing how many calories you burned. Some manufacturers claim that their models control activity when practicing in the pool or when enthusiastic about other non-standard sports.

Depending on the company and price category, fitness trackers have different characteristics. Wristbands that have a display notify you of missed messages or show the time.

Initially, “smart” bracelets had only one function - counting steps and calories. Such accessories were very popular among athletes. The function is based on the recommendation of doctors - every day, to maintain normal physical fitness, each person needs to go from 7 to 10 thousand steps. The bracelet tells you how much you went per day, showing whether you have reached a minimum. However, after 2-3 months of constant monitoring, this function begins to bother.

Some models have alarm and wake up functions. Sleep monitoring is data on the time of sleep and falling asleep, as well as the number of awakenings at night. A smart alarm clock will tell you the best time period for waking up, and also tell you about the phases of light and deep sleep.

Measuring the pulse of fitness bracelets has become relatively recent.Developers promote this feature as revolutionary, despite the fact that with regular use it “eats” a lot of battery power.

Perhaps one of the important things in the bracelet was the ability to receive alerts. The accessory can inform you about incoming calls and SMS by vibration or sound. In addition, you can configure to receive notifications from other applications.

Microsoft Band 2 is one of the first fitness bracelets that comes across the Internet when searching for models for Windows Phone. The product is made by the developers of the Windows operating system.

Programmers had to try to surprise the owners of Windows:

• All indicators are as much as possible interlinked with each other. For example, when analyzing a run, you can see not just indicators of the past result, but moments in which you ran faster or slower.
• The bracelet has a sleep analytics function, but there is no “smart” alarm clock. The user can set the vibration for a specific hour.
• In the application you can also follow information about calls, SMS and email.
• The application has GPS, so you can safely go for a run without a phone.

The advantages of the tracker include the quality position, the display on the bracelet and the presence of GPS. Among the shortcomings were: high price (from 15-17 thousand Russian rubles), a strap that very often breaks, a battery holding a charge of up to two days at most.

The tracker who won’t die in a week is Fitbit Charge HR. Its cost starts from 6.5-7 thousand rubles. This brand is one of the leaders in creating fitness bracelets. The tracker works with the Fitbit app. On Windows, the program will only work in version 10. The application will tell you about the daily number of steps, analyzing data for the week, heart rate, calories burned and kilometers traveled.

The disadvantages of this model include problems with the initial installation of the application. Also, users note a low degree of protection of the bracelet from water. The assistant's advantages were found in the original design and cloud storage, where all the information goes.

Another compatible bracelet with Windows Phone is Misfit flash. This model has one application for its trackers. Developers submit the application as compatible with Windows Phone, however, in fact, it refuses that the tracker does not work on this OS. In addition, the bracelet does not have a display. Among the advantages - a bright design that suits both men and women; low cost (about 4 thousand rubles).

Fitness bracelet for Windows Phone Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is a great option for combining the quality of the program, its availability and price. At the same time, Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is not supported on the OS, but you can download an unofficial program called Bind Mi Band. The tracker works in Russian, however, some add-ons are offered only on a paid basis.

MiCoach Adidas is a smart bracelet from a well-known sports company. There are few negative reviews about the application. Most of them relate to the fact that the tracker does not work on some operating systems.

The youngest GOQii tracker appeared at the beginning of last year. The application is perfect for beginners. It supports the ability to count steps, calories, and goal setting.
