Your page the past year, the popularity of so-called "fitness wristbands" accelerated. Now the big trend to measure how much we move on us with the purpose facade lighting to become even more active. In Norwegian, the products are often called training bracelets, but since it mostly revolves around activities that take place outside of training, it may as well have called activity bracelet. We have previously tested the Jawbone Up is among the most popular in this category. But it has several competitors. Flex Fitbit and Jawbone Up has many similarities, but also differ in some essential points facade lighting that can be crucial for what you want to buy. Read our test of the Jawbone Up More robust Fitbit bracelet has a minimalist design, but is somewhat more advanced than what one might get the impression at first glance. Flex comes in two parts, the activity meter, a small rectangular gadget that can be recharged via included proprietary USB dock, and a rubber bracelet that houses the activity meter.
FLEX VS UP: To see the fasteners out on Fitbit Flex and Jawbone Up. Fitbit lsning is undoubtedly the most rugged. (Photo: KIRSTI STVANG) You get two bracelets in the package, one small and one large. The bracelet secured with an adjustable locking device, which is robust, but somewhat difficult to connect. In return, it sits firmly around the arm, which is not the case with the Jawbone Up, as it constantly happens that falls off when we take of us Outerwear. Flex is designed so you can use it throughout the day, and it is also waterproof so you do not have to take it off when you shower once. A plunge into the sea you might avoid. Cumbersome charging facade lighting Having to take activity meter out of the bracelet and put it in a separate facade lighting charger facade lighting is however cumbersome. It would be best if it could be plugged into a USB connector. But you get used to it. Jawbone Up also comes with a proprietary charging solution, so there is no difference between the two. Flex keeps for five days on a single charge and recharge your device is quick, facade lighting maximum a few hours. facade lighting Jawbone Up holds almost double, but it is because the former supports wireless synchronization, while the latter does not.
SELF CHARGING: Here is charging dock provided with the Fitbit Flex. Not very convenient, right. (Photo: KIRSTI STVANG) What can it be used for? As Jawbone Up can Fitbit Flex measure how many steps you walk, how far you move, how many calories you burn, the number of active minutes, number of hours you sleep and even their quality. All this information is automatically synchronized to your Fitbit account and are thus accessible from both the web and your mobile or tablet.
INDICATOR: A "dot" - alts one light - indicates that you have oppndd 20 percent of dagsmlet yours. In my case it means 2000 steps. (Photo: KIRSTI STVANG) On the bracelet are five LED lights that help you see where you stand: One light represents 20 percent of the daily goal you have set up. When you tap the Flex twice with your finger, the LED indicators up. The flashing light indicates the amount of current goals are achieved. We should desire Flex bracelet could show us even more information, but the lights are still quite useful. Once you have passed your steps for the day, lights begin to flash while it starts to vibrate. A small but fun detail that gives an extra motivation along the way. Wireless synchronization It comes with a dongle that allows you to synchronize Flex wirelessly with your computer, but assuming you have a compatible smartphone or tablet, you can use the corresponding application, which are connected via Bluetooth 4.0 standard. Compatible devices are iPhone 4S, 5, 5S and 5C, the fifth-generation iPod touch, iPad 3, Retina, Air and Mini, Samsung Galaxy SIII and S4, Note 2, Note III, Galaxy Note 10.1 - but support for more is on the way. Mobile Sync works great and it's nice to be able to constantly monitor the level of activity during the day. Jawbone Up one must plug in the phone to sync data, and although it does not take so long, my experience is that it goes longer between each time you do it, sometimes several days, because it's one extra thing to worry with.
Simple app, for better or worse Otherwise Fitbit app straightforward. It looks pretty, facade lighting and is divided into sections that make it easy to get an overview of activities and progress. We still not as good as the app Jawbone Up, which showcases data
