Fuller details of the methodology can be read on your wrist by tapping the little question mark below your PAI score, but it would be a brave person to try to take it all in there, seeing as it took me 11 swipes to scroll through it all. It’s fair to say that on the hardware front, both Amazfit and Fitbit do great jobs in terms of offering well-built, feature-rich devices that look like wearables you’d want to wear. When we did manage to get some data, it was kind of what expected. Average heart rate data and maximum heart rate data was largely off in comparison to a chest strap monitor. Amazfit offers some of the best GPS watches and and best running watches, too. The T-Rex line is a limited selection of ultra-rugged watches designed for any kind of adventure. If you’ve taken up outdoor sports, or simply need something durable, you’ll get the most use of the T-Rex.

Both platforms offer heart rate-based health insights based on optical, light-based sensors. The Fitbit Sense 2 and Fitbit Charge 5 also offer the kind of medical grade-style ECG sensor found in the newest Apple Watches too. We’ve had mixed experiences with mirrored notifications. In general, you can decide which phone notifications you want pushed to your wrist, plus whether you want to preview their contents. You can’t reply to messages, but as one of the best smartwatches for Android and iOS, the GTS/GTR series lets you answer calls, no matter your connected smartphone. Still, the Apple Watch is better catered for iPhone users, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and all the best Samsung watches are better for Samsung phone users. This product and the Zepp App are not medical devices and cannot be used for medical purposes, or as basis for diagnosis of any medical condition. Detection results are provided for reference only. Please consult professional medical institutions if you feel unwell. Based on our experience, it's capable of spending that time away from the charger but that really is dependent on what features you have turned on and use regularly. Fitbit has also gone further and rolled out continuous monitoring of heart rate rhythms, via the PPG sensor, across its full range.In the time settings, you should see options to adjust the time, date, and time format. Tap on the “ Time” option to change the time. This is an interesting one. Of the Fitbit wearables that include a heart rate monitor, you can work to heart rate zones and view resting heart rate data to get a better gauge of your fitness level. You’ll also get something called a Cardio Fitness Score, which is related to VO2 Max as another source of insight into your fitness levels. Venu SQ והתוצאות היו מפתיעות לטובה, הנתונים היו כמעט זהים גם בזמן הריצה וגם בזמן הליכה, מה שכן, ברוב המקרים, היה נראה לי שהשעון של גרמין מתעדכן יותר מהר בשינויי הדופק. מה שאין ל-Band 5 הוא התקן GPS, כך שאם תצאו לריצה בלי הסמארטפון שלכם, לא תהנו מניטור מושלם. Like the Zepp E smartwatch(both use the same Zepp app, thanks to Amazfit’s acquisition of the company), an overall indicator of your activity level is provided by a Personal Activity Indicator (PAI) figure. It’s based on your heart rate and the amount of intense physical exercise you do, but the long and short of it is that if you keep the score above 100, you’ll be less likely to die of cardiovascular disease – according to a HUNT Fitness study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s medical school.

The HUNT Fitness Study indicates that people who maintain a PAI score of 100 or higher show lower risk of hypertension, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes. HUNT Fitness Study: This study was conducted by Professor Ulrik Wisloff of the Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It lasted for more than 35 years and had more than 230,000 participants. To use this function, all-day heart rate monitoring must be enabled. The radio waves generated by the equipment may affect the normal operation of implanted medical equipment or personal medical equipment, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. If you use these devices, please consult their manufacturers for restrictions on using this device.Alexa will be available via OTA update.

Abnormal heart rate alerts and the preset value need to be set in the Zepp App. To measure blood-oxygen saturation (SpO 2), please wear the device tightly at one finger-width from the wrist, and keep your arm still for best results. SpO 2 alerts are sent if the detected rate is too low compared to the preset value, which needs to be set in the Zepp App, at a minimum of 80%. Movement, and environmental and physical characteristics can affect speed and accuracy of monitoring and measurement. The 24-hour stress level monitoring needs to be enabled on the device or in the Zepp App. Alerts for high stress levels are based on the preset value, and prompts for the breathing exercise need to be enabled on the device.
