The devil is not so terrible as he is painted. And even more so, Chinese fitness trackers. These are great gadgets for every day. And a review of offers on the market will help prove - you have to take!

Xiaomi Mi Band

The recognized leader among all budget devices in the category of "smart electronics for sports". Great design, good build quality, trouble-free operation and low price - these are the qualities that have made it the best-selling smart accessory (read enough to make sure). Small complaints can be caused by the lack of the Russian language in the official application (you can download the translated and modernized version at w3bsit3-dns.com). Everything else works flawlessly.

Sleep, calorie, physical activity monitoring.
Optional: smart alarm, missed call alert (Android only).
Indication: three one-color LED indicators (blue, green, orange), vibration signal.
Connection: Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
Protection: IP67.
Battery: 41 mAh (720 hours).
Weight: 13 grams.
Compatibility: Android 4.4, iOS (limited functionality).

Huawei TalkBand B1

from the leader of the Chinese "smartphone building". It differs from all others in a very convenient function: the device detaches from the bracelet and can be used as a Bluetooth headset. In addition, Huawei TalkBand has its own USB connector and does not require wires or original chargers. And, unlike the Mi Band, the Huawei product has its own OLED display (but the price is an order of magnitude higher).

Digicare ERI

One of the crowdfunding projects that ended with a resounding success. is copied by nameless manufacturers, which, however, has practically no effect on functionality (and the quality does not suffer much). Probably a copy of Fitbit Force.

Sensors: thermometer, accelerometer, pedometer.
Monitoring of sleep, calories, physical activity, a heart rate sensor is implemented through the phone (the finger is illuminated by the flash LED, the pulsation is recorded).

The set, in addition to the bracelet, includes a magnetic strap for attaching to clothes.
