After three (3) activity tracker failures, I have settled on one. The winner is ... the Polar M400.
After considering several contenders, as follows:
- Fitbit ChargeHR (fail)
- Fitbit Charge (too disappointed to bother)
- Misfit Shine (fail)
- Fitbit Flex (why stay when I can upgrade)
- Jaybird Reign - great choice, but I just could not decide based on reviews. The somewhat cryptic specifications regarding sizing were a reason not to order. Jaybird may have a great device, but I'll wait to see how the coin falls.
- Jawbone UP24 - with the UP3 coming up, it was not a great choice
- Jawbone UP3 - not released yet, and not aesthetically pleasing
- Jawbone UP Move - good basic choice, but not what I was looking for
- Polar Loop - could get pass the look
[Note: Nike+ Fuelband, Microsoft band and Samsung Gear (Fit or 2) were not considered as I am prejudiced against said companies and their products.]
I found that the A300 is coming out soon but, since it's the same but without GPS and it only costs $200 less, I am sticking with the M400.
I will review it once I've had it for a while.
