The advantage of the wristband type is that the size is small and the weight is light.The price is cheaper than the "smartphone type", "sports type" and "hybrid type".Many wristband models are less than 10,000 yen.However, recently, there is a tendency for prices to rise due to multifunctionation.Still, it is cheaper than other types.In this regard, the budget is the easiest type to introduce.The style is not a watch type, but a wristband type may be more preferable.

The drawbacks are the same as the hybrid type, that the sports type is not as rich as the function, and the battery is not so much.It is inevitable because it is in size, but the function provided by the wristband type is limited compared to the sports type and flagship model.The wristband type is the same as the hybrid type, and it is enough to focus on life logs.Eventually, if you want to use exercises, it may be unsatisfactory in a wristband type.

Although it is easy to introduce in terms of budget, there are not many options compared to other types.There were not many options for the hybrid type, but the wristband type has a limited number of candidates.There are many inexpensive models, but there are restrictions on functions.It is a model you want to check carefully so that you do not have any functions after you buy it.

Fitbit

When it comes to wristband -type smart witches, many people think of Fitbit models.At the time of this writing, Fitbit Inspire 2 and Fitbit Charge 4 will be a typical model.Cheaper models include Fitbit Inspire.Fitbit Inspire costs less than 10,000 yen, but has less functions.

The following is a summary of the typical features of Fitbit Inspire 2.

The function is close to a hybrid type.Rather than using a device alone like a smartphone type or a sports type, it is more convenient to use it as a rogue + α.

Garmin

Both sports and hybrid -shaped garmin featured Garmin, but Garmin also offers wristband -type smartwatches.Considering the release time and the functions provided, I would like to take a look at Vívosmart 4 here.

Typical features are as follows:

Although it has fewer functions compared to Garmin's sports type, it can measure the Body Battery energy monitor and stress level, and can also measure V02 Max and heart rate Max.It is a function close to a sports type.Garmin Connect, a cloud service provided by Garmin, can be used.Even if you want to change from a wristband type to another type, it is easy to change the device with the data inherited from the data because Garmin is abundant.

Polar

Polar, which is featured in sports, also offers a wristband model.Polar A370.The function is reduced compared to the Polar flagship model, but it still provides considerable functions.If you want many functions in a wristband type, it is a model you want to consider as an option.

The typical features of Polar A370 are as follows.

Polar A370 can also use Polar's cloud service "Polar Flow".If you need a more functional device, you can move with the data inherited.

Be sure to check the presence or absence of GPS and smartphone linkage

Most flagship models, smartwatch -type, and sports models are mostly equipped with GPS functions.Conversely, few wristband type has a GPS function.A specific model has a GPS function, but other models use the GPS function by linking with a smartphone.

In that case, for example, when jogging or walking, if you do not have a smartphone at hand, the related functions that use GPS will not be available.If you want to exercise only with wristband -type smartwatches, you need to be careful.I hope that you can check the functions that are equipped with the model you want while aware that the GPS function is often not attached.In addition, there is no GPS linking function with a smartphone with a low -cost model, and the functions that depend on GPS may not be used at all.

Ring type, anklet type, belt type, etc.

It is similar to a wristband -type smartwatch, but does not have parts equivalent to the display that displays the time and status.There is also an anklet type attached to the ankle instead of the wrist.This type of device is often called wearable devices and activity meters instead of smartwatches, specializing in physical monitoring, and confirming data using a smartphone app.

In addition, there is also a ring -type device (ring -type device).Naturally, it is not possible to check the time or check the status.It is specialized in physical monitoring, and the collected data is checked with a smartphone app.

The part to be worn is the chest (per heart), but there is also a belt type.There is no clock element and it is for monitoring heart rate data, but it is characterized by the fact that cardiac data, which is more accurate than a smartwatch, can be obtained.In a type of sport that moves the arm, the measurement of a smartwatch may be incorrect, and in that case, the belt type is convenient.Belt type may be required for more accurate data measurement.

If you actually use a smartwatch, there is no need to workout or status check, and if you only need to continue the log of physical data anyway, there is a way to select such a welcome device as the next device.。
