Key Features
Stainless Steel Case
Round stainless case that reads closer to a regular watch than most fitness bands. Works with jeans, works at the gym.
BioTracker Sensor
24/7 heart rate, SpO2, stress, and sleep. The data lines up closely with more expensive trackers, going by side by side owner comparisons.
160+ Sport Modes
Built-in GPS, workout detection, and auto-pause. Accurate distance and pace even on cloudy runs.
10 Day Battery
Real 10 days with AOD off. That beats almost every smartwatch under $200.
