It's wirelessly connects, it works with iOS and Android, but the view of it doesn't work with all Android phones, you, ones that are compatible according to garment, include the HTTC 1, Samsung Galaxy phones, you wanna be able to have Bluetooth 4.0, and Android 4.3 or higher, but you may wanna check and make sure on garment website to be sure.Īlso, it does work with PC and Mac with an included USB ant converter, but message boards have said, people, sometimes people mixed success. So if you're really lazy and sitting down, as I've done, I will forget, and I will look down, and who knows how many hours have passed, and I need to get moving again.Īnd the goals, which you can set yourself, will also smartly adjust so that each day that you achieve, it will set a new step goal to work along with you if you've been getting better, or if you feel it's a little tough, it will actually lower the goal a bit.

You have to wet this, you have to tie it around your chest, you have to attach it.īut, these are plus enabled heart rate monitors, which is a different wireless technology than Bluetooth, if you want to get in the weeds of that.Īnd this will pair with any of those, and there are a bunch out there.Īnd it will read the heart rate right from this device.įor motivation, much like the Nike Fuelband which gets you to move or the Jawbone Up which buzzes your wrist, this will actually start to get a red bar if you've been sitting around and being lazy for an hour.Īnd every 15 minutes the bar gets a little bit higher.

So if you like the idea of a simple solution, and you're not really into multiple chargers, this is probably for you.Īlso, it doesn't just do the step counting and some motivational goal setting, we'll get to that in a sec, but it also, it works as a heart rate monitor. Instead of having to charge, now you will have to replace that battery yourself with a little screwdriver at some point.īut you're saving yourself the effort of always having to get a little USB or dongle and do it yourself. That's because it uses a little coin battery inside. One of the best and one that we hadn't looked at yet, is by a company called Garmin, the Garmin Vevo Fit.Ī Nike Fuel Band, who knows where that'll be.īut if you want something that's a watch plus a fitness band on your wrist, the Garmin Vivofit is probably one of the best things out there for a couple of reasons.įirst of all, because it's always on and it tells the time, which if you want a watch type accessory that helps.Īlso it's water resistant so you can take it in a shower.Īlso, this has a year plus of battery life.
