When you want a smartwatch, many people imagine high -end products represented by Apple's "Apple Watch" series.However, you can not miss the genre called "Smart Band" as a cheaper option.These are not innovative products, but the market size has been expanding worldwide in recent years, due to the impact of the prolonged self -restraint period and the rise in health awareness.In particular, in 2021, a sophisticated smart band was developed from many manufacturers.

In this article, we will pick up the hot products of such smart bands released in 2021.You can't get a smartwatch over 40,000 yen like Apple Watch, but it may be possible to get up to 5,000 yen to 20,000 yen ...If you are such a person, please check it out.

In Japan, about 1 in 10 smartphone users use

First, let's talk about market trends.According to a press release announced by MM Research Institute in September 2021, the domestic sales of smartwatches (including wristband products) in 2020 are 229..40,000 units in 19 year from the previous year.9 % increase.In the web questionnaire conducted by the company, the use rate of smartwatch bands is 9 for smartphone users..It is said that it accounted for 4%.It feels like one in 10 people use it.

According to the release, the market share in the domestic market is Apple's first place, followed by FIBIT (Fitbit), followed by Garmin, Huawei, Samsung, and others.Below, we will introduce the hot products for each major manufacturer and brand.

The border between smartwatches and smart bands is very ambiguous, so in this article, some products that the manufacturer brand with smart watches will be introduced as an extension of the smart band.

[Part 1] [Part 2] Fitbit of real share

As mentioned above, Fitbit boasts the second share after Apple in the smartwatch market.Speaking of smart bands excluding watches, the company may be a substantial main manufacturer.With Google acquired the company in January 2021, it became a brand that was also noted in future trends.

In 2021, "Fitbit Charge 4" compatible with Suica (about 20,000 yen, the price is tax included and basically, the information at the time of release, hereinafter) and "Fitbit Charge 5" (24,900 yen).And "Fitbit Luxe" (17,990 yen), which gives priority to luxurious comfort, has been released.It is a place where you feel that it is the first brand in a smart band that produces typical trends, such as Suica compatible, luxurious production, and products for children.

[Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] Huawei (Huawei) that is good at quality

Garmin (Garmin), which was 3rd in the share as a smartwatch, is a brand specializing in sport watches.From the point of view of the smart band to be taken this time, the next thing to note is Huawei.

In particular, it is important to pay attention to the "Huawei Watch Fit" series equipped with a vertical display developed by the company.As you can see from the product name, it is treated as a "smart watch", but the design is close to a smart band and the functions are upward compatible. In talking about smart bands, we can't help but talk about this.

Above all, "Huawei Watch Fit Elegant" released in April 2021 has a high quality.The strap uses a familiar Full Oroerastomer in the band of the Apple Watch series, and the comfort is outstanding.The estimated market price is 19,800 yen (tax included), and the cost performance is good.In December, "Huawei Watch Fit Mini" (19,800 yen including tax), which can select a leather band, also appeared.

Also pay attention to "HUAWEI Band 6" (released in May, 8580 yen including tax) as a cheaper option.This is an undeniable product that can be said to be a smart band.There are some parts that are inferior to the Huawei Watch Fit series, but if you focus on cost, it will be worth considering.

By the way, the company has a sharp product, such as "HUAWEI TALKBAND B6" (released in July), where smart bands become headsets, and "Huawei Band 4E" (released in February), which can measure running data by fixed to shoes.We are developing vigorously.Due to political circumstances, the company has stalled domestic expansion of smartphones, but the impression that the presence in the peripheral market such as smart bands is increasing.

[Part 6] [Part 7] Newcomer OPPO attacked with cospa (Oppo)

OPPO (Oppo) is a brand that has been consistently expanding in the Japanese smartphone market, as if replaced with such HUAWEI.And in April, the company's first smart band "Oppo Band Style" in the Japanese market was released, and since 2021, it has become a remarkable area in the peripheral equipment market.

The biggest feature of OPPO Band Style is the price below 5,000 yen.Nevertheless, cost performance is high, such as buying two types of straps.Naturally, there is a part that is appropriate for the price, but it is much worth considering when the cost is high.

In December, "Oppo Watch Free" equipped with sleep monitoring was released.This is a smart watch with a vertical display, and the display is 1.It is large with 64 inches.Whether it can be said to be a "smart band" is the last minute line, but you want to check it together.

[Part 8] In the low -priced range, Xiaomi is already a standard

Shaomi can be said to be such an OPPO rival.The company can be said to be lined up in the smartphone market as well as smartphones.However, the company was originally a manufacturer who was good at home appliances, and in the domestic smart band market, Xiaomi was more ahead than OPPO.Specifically, the "MI Smart Band" series has been developed for several years.

In the series, "MI Smart Band 5" (4490 yen including tax) was released in January 2021, and "MI Smart Band 6" (5990 yen including tax) was released in July.

As described above, even if it was tied up as a "smart band" in a word, the price and texture were quite wide.As a trend, it has become standard to focus on wellness functions, such as measuring SPO2 and sleeping sleep, so I think it's a good idea to pay attention to that point.

By the way, my recommendation is a luxury model that focuses on the texture of the strap band, such as "Fitbit Luxe" and "Huawei Watch Fit Elegant".Because it is a smart band that has a long time to wear, I think that if you choose with emphasis on quality rather than cost, you will be more satisfied.
