Three tips for buying activity tracker
Sometimes a little peer pressure can be a good thing and an activity band is the perfect example. Whether it's your colleagues, neighbours, or group of friends, getting the same brand of heart rate watch or activity wristband as them allows for friendly comparison and challenges to boost motivation. Keep in mind that different manufacturers may not always have compatibility with one another.
- Discrete bands often mimic the look of an analogue watch or a jewellery-like bracelet and often have a simple screen or no screen at all, requiring you to access data through an app.
- Classic activity wristbands, while not necessarily the most aesthetically pleasing, offer maximum functionality, particularly if you plan on wearing it while swimming or participating in sports. These bands, usually made of black rubber (but also available in other colours), are a practical choice.
They do more than just track your steps. You've got a bunch of tools to monitor your overall health and well-being. Keep tabs on your sleep and check your stress levels. Make use of the data by learning which metrics you should pay extra attention to. Here’s an article from Men’s Health to get you started. You can also track all sorts of workouts with your band - like running, yoga, and strength training. Just make sure your favourite sport is included in the available training modes.
