10 best wearable devices of 2015
The wearable market is
currently at a nascent stage in India, but it's gathering steam
In the last one year, there
have been plenty of inter esting launches that have caught our attention.
There are new brands such
as Fitbit and Jawbone that have set up shop in India. We also got a truly
affordable wearable band in the form of Xiaomi MiFit. Micromax through its
YuFit tried to better the offering at the same price.
Here is a comprehensive list
of the best smartwatches wearables that we have in India on the basis of
performance, style and value for money:
1 Fitbit Charge HR
You will like the
no-nonsense and simplistic design of Fitbit Charge HR. It is a simple band that
features a screen on which you can check time, your heart rate and get
continuous updates about your everyday activity -right from steps walked to
floors climbed to calories burned.
2 Sony Smartwatch 3
It was one of the
best-performing Android smartwatches and it still is. It has a 1.6-inch
transflective TFT LCD that offers nice visibility in all lighting
conditions.Its battery lasts for over 47 hours on a single charge and boasts of
4GB RAM, inbuilt GPS and the regular health jazz.
3 Samsung Gear 2 Neo
If you are looking for a
smartyet-gorgeous looking wearable that does more than just keep a track of
your health, then Samsung Gear 2 Neo is worth a look. Running on the Tizen OS
and powered by a 1GHz dual core processor, this mean machine has a beautiful
AMOLED screen that lets you make and receive calls as well as read
notifications from various apps installed on your phone.
4 Goqii Life
It might not be one of the
stylish bands around but it is special in its own right. For those unaware,
when you buy this band, you also get connected to a personal coach who will
keep your health goals in check and provides all kinds of guidance and support
to help you stay on your health track. But this service doesn't come for free.
5 LG Watch Urbane
When LG stepped into the
smartwatch arena we agreed that it was a good-looking device. Considering that
the company is targeting the upper crust, it is priced slightly on the higher
side. Despite that, it is a decent fitness watch.
6 Jawbone UP3
This year, Jawbone entered
the Indian market in partnership with Amazon India. The device looks smart, can
track your activities, heart rate as well as sleep, and can help you define a
better, healthier future for yourself.
7 Fitbit Surge
It is a device meant for
fitness enthusiasts and it does that job well. It comes with a built-in GPS and
helps you keep track of your heart rate, quality of sleep and other exercises
that you would do. The main downside for it is that it looks a bit chunky. Also
it is not waterproof.
8 Xiaomi Mi Fit
In 2015, Xiaomi managed to
disrupt the wearable market with the launch of its wearable band.
At ` 999 it offers data
such as heart rate, step counts and also your sleep. Moreover, it is waterproof
and dust proof and its battery goes on for a month with a single charge.
9 Apple Watch
Apple entered the sma r t
watch a rena with élan. The Watch did manage to grab a lot of attention a nd sa
les a re a l so picki ng up. It is lightweight and looks classy on any wrist.
Moreover, it offers you to customise the app to your liking.
10 The Moto 360 (2nd Gen)
The first iteration of this
device had all of us swooning and the upgrade seems to have a similar impact on
us. However, the resolution has been boosted from the original at 233 pixels
per inch on the 46mm version and 263ppi on the 42mm, `for women' incarnation.
This watch is also easier on .the pocket than the Apple Watch and LG Watch
