Description

This may be one of the categories of devices most demanded by users. Undoubtedly since Xiaomi and its subsidiaries have entered the market for activity and monitoring wristbands, this market has boomed. We are not going to discuss here which one is better or more recommended, but, as usual, list the characteristics that are most common to this type of device so that each user can choose -with all the information available- the one that best suits their needs.

As it does not happen in watches, these bracelets are usually made of less resistant plastic materials, which is reflected in their price. However, the author writes this article in October 2019 with a Mi Band 2 on his wrist bought since its launch… So this does not mean that the materials are bad. Anyway, there is a difference in quality between watches and bracelets. A bracelet will always be much more ergonomic and small, less annoying in general.

The screens are also always smaller and sometimes black and white. This has a direct impact on energy management and therefore battery life. These bracelets are often used to quantify the sport that can be done with them, so the most normal thing will be that they are used outdoors. It is important that the screen can be displayed correctly under these conditions. The battery is usually an important aspect and a very positive one. To improve energy management we can cancel the automatic heart rate monitoring that most bracelets come by default, as well as put notifications or alarms to a minimum. Of course, the charger is almost always proprietary, so it should not be lost.

Impermeability is a very important feature. It is normal that when we are doing sports we sweat or get dusty or dirty, and it would not be pleasant for the bracelet to be damaged by this type of thing. Therefore, unless we are going to go to the beach or the pool with it, it will not be necessary for it to withstand 5 atmospheres of pressure, for example. But it will be recommended that it has a minimum IP67 certification.
