Layfhaker already doing fitness bracelet reviews Croise. E and compact Capsules thermometer from the same brand from Korea. The overall impression of the products rather positive and Urban S only hooked it.
Appearance and ease of use
This modest minimalist fitness tracker with a display that shows the basic measurements (number of steps, calories, heart rate) and time.
Display - this is a huge plus, because I always check with your smartphone - a bad idea, especially when you're in town. Urban S And more and looks stylish, so that it can be worn without difficulty all day.
Tracker easy, sits well on the hand, it does not interfere with the keyboard and does not distract the user's attention. Urban S waterproof, so with it you can safely take a shower and do not worry that the sweat in training will damage the electronics.
Urban S can display a notification about incoming calls and messages. It's a nice bonus if you like to throw away the smart phone in the bag.
Charged battery lasts for 3-5 days. During an active test longer than three days, the gadget has not worked on a single charge even once, but on it and active testing.
activity Tracking
Tracker during the day counts steps, heart rate, measures the distance and the number of calories burned. It has the usual functions, but Urban S determines when you move from step to run, or sit on the bike.
These are displayed on the main application screen together with information about how much you sleep, how to recover and how you are able to. The last two parameters are calculated based on information on the activity and amount of sleep during the day, so the reading application does not always correspond to well-being.
It is not clear at all how you can rely on some sort of objectivity in the assessment of sleep a fitness tracker. However, this does not prevent the application to collect objective data on what time of the day you have been active, and then show the visual and simple graphics.
training
If you are planning a separate exercise, it is enough to switch to the application on the training mode and choose what you do: going, climb the hill, run or ride a bike.
The tracker will remove the same indications as for tracking activity, and then you will be able to see how the training was held.
It should be noted that it removes pulse not continuously, but at intervals of three minutes. That is to count on perfect accuracy is not necessary. If you want to track the pulse changes, you need to pick up a smartphone to include a special mode in the application. It is, to put it mildly uncomfortable, but such a function.
When the pulse of light training up to shock and is not critical. heart rate monitor continuously still greater need for professionals or very thrilled by fans and for all simply by Urban S. relevant data is quite enough
During testing bracelet when compared with another tracker showed a small error in pulse measurement. He coped with the calculations even while exercising on the treadmill in the lift mode uphill calculating vertical meters.
The only questionable option at training - the number of calories burned, that too individually, so that it can be measured using simple calculators.
pros tracker
The main advantage of the gadget - a stunning minimalism. Only two main screens in the app - Active mode and training mode, with which it is already possible to view the individual parameters, if suddenly the general information is not enough. Everything clearly and simply.
Measurements themselves show that it is necessary, and do not download the app and display of unnecessary information.
If you exercise to keep in shape and nothing more, that is, if you do not need to measure the pulse for every 10 meters distance, such unobtrusive bracelet is suitable.
Plus special - reasonable cost for such a gadget. At the time of this writing, it is sold for 3690 rubles. Certainly not the cheapest device in the world, but also the functions he does not have to be minimal.
cons tracker
Minus only two. First - some indicators do not carry useful information, and without them we could have done. These are the dream, the restoration, the state. Due to the large errors into account sleep does not work correctly. And to calculate the recovery and so somehow meaningless without it.
The second drawback - the adapter for charging.
It's a small detail, which is attached to the cable. And the adapter is attached to a bracelet with a magnet. It is a curious decision, but an adapter is easy to lose, especially since the gadget should be recharged twice a week, that is carried around everywhere adapter with you.
But if you are not inclined to complicate their lives with unnecessary calculations and does not suffer from distractions, Urban S - an excellent choice of fitness tracker for every day.
