Fitbit introduced three new bracelets

Recently, Fitbit has encountered some difficulties in the market of fitness bracelets. But today the company introduced three new activity trackers at once.

The Charge model is a replacement for the Force currently sold. This bracelet has all the same functions as the previous model. Also, the new bracelet will automatically track sleep. The design has changed a bit, the new bracelet is made of softer rubber. But for the most part it is a direct descendant of Force. They have one size, a set of functions and work time (7 days). T

The Charge HR model has another function (but very important) - the pulse sensor. Perhaps the measuring device on the wrist is not as accurate as the special sensors on the chest, but it is much more convenient. Adding this feature reduces the bracelet's running time by 5 days. For sports fans who follow the work of the heart during training, this function will be very important.

The most important and expected model is Surge. Surge is Fitbit's first step in the market of full-fledged fitness trackers. In addition to the usual functions, Surge has a built-in GPS-module for tracking runs, as well as a sensor for measuring the pulse. The company was one of the first to release a device with both of these modules. Also Surge can control the player with a touch screen. With the GPS off, the bracelet works up to 7 days, with the included one - up to 8 hours.

The Charge is available for purchase now at $ 130, Charge HR and Surge will be available in early 2015 for $ 150 and $ 250, respectively.

Jawbone introduced the UP3 and Up Move fitness trackers

Today, Jawbone presented two new fitness trackers at once: UP3 and Up Move. Jawbone UP3 is the company's flagship solution and is equipped with a full set of sensors and sensors: a three-axis accelerometer, a bio-impedance sensor, skin and environmental temperature sensors, and a heartbeat sensor. This set of sensors allows the device to determine exactly what kind of sport you are doing at the moment. Bio-impedance sensors allow UP3 to accurately and independently measure your pulse at rest (after waking up, before getting up, charging and entering caffeine in the body). The heartbeat sensor works on a new technology, which is based on determining the heart rate and hydration level using weak electrical impulses.
According to representatives of the company, Jawbone UP3 allows you to collect information about the physical condition and human health at the level of expensive special medical devices. The sophisticated UP3 multisensory platform allows you to recognize sleep phases — quick, light and deep — and tell you what happened while you were sleeping. Sensors and algorithms UP3 support automatic detection of training after its completion. Most popular types of training (for example, running, cross country, cardio, tennis, hiking, dancing, and even zumba) are recognized by the UP application themselves. And through your behavior, the system learns to automatically classify other, more complex workouts, such as swimming, cycling, powerlifting, or yoga.
The program function "Smart trainer" on the basis of the collected information will develop personal tips and tasks for you.
Through the UP app, you will see how the pulse changes over time, and find out which is considered normal for you. Free and wireless UP3 firmware updates, which are planned for release in the future, will allow your bracelet to collect even more important data.
Jawbone UP3 housing is made of durable anodized aluminum and protected from immersion in water to a depth of 10 meters. As the developers assure, the built-in battery will last for 7 days of continuous work, and at the same time the pulse of the accessory owner is monitored throughout the day.
The second tracker presented was Jawbone UP Move, which is a small round washer that can be attached to clothes with a special clip or worn on the wrist as a regular bracelet.
The accessory has a standard set of sensors that can track the number of steps, the number of calories burned, physical activity and monitor the user's sleep phases. All collected information is transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone in a special application. The battery built into Jawbone UP Move will last for 6 months of continuous operation.
UP Move and UP3 will be available in the largest electronics and home appliances stores this winter. The UP Move retail price is 2,590 rubles, and the UP3 price will be 8,990 rubles.

ibody - like Mi Band, only with display

To date, the market of wearable devices is filled with a huge number of sports bracelets for every taste and color, but new high-quality devices at low cost are always of interest. Earlier this year, Xiaomi presented its first Mi Band fitness bracelet, which received a simple design, a minimum set of functions, 30 days of work without recharging and an extremely attractive price. For some, the only drawback of the Mi Band is the lack of a display, and the new ibody sports bracelet just solves this problem.
With the cost and functionality similar to the Mi Band, ibody is equipped with a small display that allows you to see the time, distance covered, the number of steps taken and calories burned, as well as other information. To synchronize with your smartphone, you use a companion application that has a more advanced set of functions than the Mi Band. It is worth noting that if your smartphone does not have Bluetooth, then you can synchronize data via cable via OTG.
Of course, the presence of the display will have a negative impact on the working time of ibody, but then you will receive all the necessary information at any time, without getting the smartphone out of your pocket.
ibody is available with a black or light green rubber strap for $ 25.

Honor Band Z1

Honor Band Z1 - absolutely snap-free fitness bracelet. This means that all actions with it can be performed exclusively by clicking on the screen. The bracelet is eclectic: the touch screen is covered with glass, the case is made of metal, and the strap is rubber.

Like other fitness bracelets, Honor Band Z1 calculates how many steps you took, what distance you walked or ran and how many calories you burned at the same time. All data is synchronized with the smartphone through a special application Huawei Wear. The bracelet supports communication with a mobile device via Bluetooth and is compatible with smartphones based on Android and iOS.

Picture:

For measurement accuracy, just before using the bracelet, you need to go into the application and set up your profile, specifying the age, date of birth, weight and height. If the bracelet notices that you are not active for half an hour, it will begin to vibrate, hinting that you need to walk a little. In addition, it tracks sleep cycles and wakes you up at the right moment - when it’s easiest to wake up and get vigorous.

Picture:

Notifications from applications and information about missed calls and incoming messages to this bracelet, though they come, but with a delay - only after you unlock its screen. By the way, the screen should turn on itself when you bring your wrist to your face, but this does not always work. The bracelet is charged by magnetic charging, the battery lasts for three days of work.

MIO Slice - a new era in the development of fitness trackers

In early 2016, MIO Global presented a new bracelet, which was called MIO Slice. This bracelet will be a real revolution in the market of fitness trackers. The company said that simply counting the steps is in itself a meaningless exercise. The end user of the bracelet does not receive any practical benefit from this, since it does not engage in further interpretation of the data. To understand what state your body is in, you need to compare the pulse at rest, the body's response to the load, the total amount of load and the control of the pulse during the maximum load. Interpretation of such a data file should be handled by professionals. Only they, on the basis of the recorded results, can make a scientific conclusion about the state of health and the level of your activity. In our country, not everyone can afford such surveys. Such studies are usually engaged in either specialized sports clinics or personal doctors. In any case, for the average person - it is not available. Fitness bracelet MIO Slice will do just that. New indicator PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) - is an intellectual calculation of personal activity, which is summarized in a special factor. This ratio will be calculated using the moving average formula for the last 7 days. The indicator was created in order to indicate how vigorously you have spent the last 7 days and the goal is to keep this indicator above 100.

The MIO algorithms are based on a long-term study of people's health called the HUNT Study, which is based on the fact that the resting heart rate can warn of cardiovascular diseases. It was also found that maintaining PAI at a level above 100 can prolong life expectancy by 10 years and will allow you to avoid diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
“PAI is the most significant indicator to measure whether your level of activity is sufficient to achieve maximum health benefits,” said Ulrik Wesloff, a professor at the School of Medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. “Managing your PAI will help you reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Simply put, it will help you live healthy and much longer. ”

We do not know so much about what functionality the bracelet will carry besides the heart rate monitor and PAI. We know that the screen will display the number of steps (it was not removed, after all), the distance traveled and calories burned. MIO Slice will be sold in colors of at least 4 colors, equipped with a vibration motor, and notifications from the phone will be displayed on the screen (for Russia, apparently, the option is not relevant unless the bracelet and the application learn the Russian language).
Now we have no data on the exact date of the start of sales. Some experts suggest that this will happen only at the end of 2016, but most agree that the start of sales of the MIO Slice will begin this summer. The retail price of the device will be 7.990 rubles.
