For all fitness freaks, Adidas has come up with its new wearable gadget called MiCoach Fit Smart. The wristband acts like a heart-rate monitor and overall fitness tracker. Check out more about it here.
Appearance
With a weight of 58 grams, MiCoach Fit Smart is a lightweight yet durable gadget. It has a silicone body that makes it sweat-proof too. However, this device is not waterproof. Thus, you cannot go swimming while wearing this wristband. MiCoach Fit Smart does not seem to be very sleek and may give a wider look on a narrow wrist. On the other hand, there is a choice available between two wrist sizes. This device is available in black and translucent milky white colors. While the white band may appear dirty at times, the black band looks classier with its clearer display. Its display uses LED lights to indicate workout performance.
Performance
MiCoach Fit Smart is designed to keep an effective track of your distance, pace, stride rate and burnt calories while you jog. This fitness-tracking device vibrates to give feedback. On a full charge, it can last up to 10 hours. This smart gadget also guides you when you need to slow down on your exercise or work harder. This is indicated through red, green, blue and yellow lights on its display. The device works in conjunction with MiCoach Train and Run app in order to provide feedback on your fitness goals. You can control its functions using the app that is compatible with both iOS and Android-based devices.
Ease of use
The gadget is easy to use while you may take time to get accustomed to its interface. It is a little tricky to find out how the given buttons manage its operations. An accelerometer and a heart rate monitor precisely records your workout. The device sends your workout records to your smartphone through Bluetooth, as well as to the MiCoach online service. It is also easy to export these details to some social networks.
Usefulness
MiCoach Fit Smart seems to be a device for casual athletes, as it does not provide some useful tracking indexes that are vital to a fitness enthusiast. For example, there is no GPS tracking possible with this gadget. However, it has some nice features that are great for common users of this device.
Value for money
This fitness-tracker band is available at a price of $199, which does not actually appeal much. Compared to the price, this device does not offer features that are available in similar competitive gadgets. Thus, MiCoach Fit Smart is a bit costlier for what it offers.
