Fitness bands are everywhere now, but the biggest question is are they useful? Do they really work? And work wonders for one. Well before we look into these questions lets first know what are fitness bands and what do they do?
Well these wrist bands are no ordinary bands, they are health tracking devices. These devices helps one to track heart rate, blood oxygen level and total steps taken for particular day and calories burnt. It does give you some good data which otherwise can’t be manually tracked. The information provided by these bands are quite impressive. They are flashy and in-thing in the fitness industry, they come in wide variety of designs and price ranges. Prices range from $100 to $ 250 and above depending on the brands and functionality and designs, now you can’t expect all in one in the basic model. There are lot of top brands in the market namely, Fitbit flex, Jawbone and the misfit shine, well suit yourself!
Now let’s come to performance, these data provided is excellent but isn’t 100% accurate and each brand device works different way based on the Algorithm used. Well my biggest question is what do you do with these data? I mean does an average Joe needs these lot of data? My answer is No! I would rather say it’s a great collectable item for people who are very passionate about fitness. Fitness bands are a great success throughout the world. I believe the major reason for the success of these bands are due to motivational aspect than that of functionality and accuracy. Monitoring makes people stick to their plans way better than compared to otherwise and these bands do certainly standout in monitoring aspect of it. But do they help you to be absolutely fit and have a great physique, No. So all in all I would give a thumbs up for these fitness bands.
