Its readings can be processed by the bracelet's built-in processor and immediately interpreted into steps and kilometers, which are displayed on the screen. In some models, all the information collected by the sensor is transmitted to a special application on the smartphone, which correctly processes the received data and builds beautiful graphs of your activity.

The most advanced models have a built-in sensor GPS, which allows you to build routes and expands the functionality of the bracelet;
- screen. If earlier almost all fitness bracelets were produced without a display, and only the most expensive models had a screen, today everything has changed dramatically. Even budget trackers get a screen that shows time, date, steps, calories burned, and heart rate. When the tracker is synchronized with a smartphone, notifications of an incoming call and notifications can also be displayed on the screen. In more advanced gadgets, you can configure the settings for displaying information on the screen, set splash screens, select dials;

- moisture protection present in the vast majority of bracelets, but may vary in degree. For example, a tracker with IP 65 protection level perfectly resists dust and can withstand water jets from all sides, a bracelet with IP 67 protection level can withstand temporary immersion under water at 1 m, and with IP 68 you can not remove it even when deep immersed. The choice depends on what type of activity you have;

Another deterrent from the purchase is the price, which is about 12,000 - 13,000 rubles (about $ 195-210). Someone may be upset by the lack of a smart alarm function.
iWOWN i6HR
IWOWN has been in the field of smart wearable electronics for about 10 years.

Garmin Vivosmart 3
Garmin is not just a fitness bracelet, it is a whole philosophy. Fans of the brand are ready to overpay, but buy exactly the manufacturer's gadgets.

You can find fault with not the most thoughtful native application, not very convenient clasp and price, which reaches 10,000 rubles (about $ 160).
Fitbit Charge 2
Our rating of the best fitness bracelets is completed by a device from a fairly large Chinese manufacturer. After failing with an allergy-inducing model, the company rehabilitated itself with several successful and well-designed bracelets. The Charge 2 is a rather interesting gadget in terms of its capabilities, which is suitable for those who are not limited in budget. Model weighing 37 g received a silicone interchangeable strap, small monochrome display and a very stylish thoughtful design The device received a standard set of sensors that can continuously monitor the pulse. There is a built-in altimeter, but there is no own GPS module, but the cunning gadget can use the smartphone's GPS. Among the interesting features, we note the presence breath guide and precise automatic determining the type of activity. Users praise the native app and the variety of different straps. By the way, reviews about the strap itself are ambiguous: someone says that it is extremely uncomfortable, while someone, on the contrary, admires ergonomics. The obvious disadvantages include the lack of a smart alarm function, water resistance and an English interface. It's easy to understand, but basic knowledge of the language is required. The battery will last for approximately 5 days of use. The gadget costs about 9,000 rubles ($145): in principle, it’s normal, but if there are more budget analogues, the model often loses the competition.
We hope that even more interesting models will appear soon, so we keep our finger on the pulse.

Conclusion
These were the best fitness bracelets in 2016. Thank you for your attention.
Recently, more and more people are joining a healthy lifestyle. Jogging, gym, proper nutrition… If you are one of them, our selection will help you decide which fitness bracelet to buy.
Oh this spring! Involuntarily, you start to wonder if you can get in shape? Someone buys a gym membership for this, someone hopes to force themselves to run an extra circle around the house, and someone just starts walking more. But in any case, physical activity needs to be tracked somehow. The way out is to purchase a fitness bracelet or fitness tracker. The device will show the distance traveled, the number of calories burned, as well as a bunch of other useful information.
If you are looking for a smart bracelet for yourself, it makes sense to buy, first of all, devices from 2014-2015, because their prices are the most attractive. There has been no qualitative breakthrough in this area over the past year and a half. For this reason, fitness bracelets from a year ago and even older still retain their relevance.
Also, keep in mind that a more functional bracelet will last longer on battery power. Simple pedometers will last a week, devices with a built-in heart rate sensor or a screen (even black and white) - significantly less.
Based on these rules, the Be Mobile Internet project has prepared a selection of the best fitness bracelets in 2016-2017 in terms of price-quality ratio.
