Letscom fitness tracker manual

First of all, the choice will depend on which smartphone you use. In general, iOS is supported by all manufacturers, but you have the iPhone, it is strange to choose something other than the Apple Watch 5. Now it is an exemplary device on the market. If there is no money for it, you can just stop at the Apple Watch easier.

If you have Android, the choice extends to infinity, from which you need to exclude the Apple Watch. Then you can look at the smartphone manufacturer (because its branded watches are more integrated with the smartphone software). You can look at the capabilities of various platforms on the market.

The brand of your smartphone is not particularly important, but we recommend taking it into account. With a native smartphone, the device will be better integrated. Often this concerns the alarm setting (for example, at Samsung smartphone, the alarm works separately from the Letscom tracker, but with Huawei/Honor smartphones the alarm works on a smartphone and watch).

There may be other nuances. For example, at Samsung, the connection of the native bracelet is much more convenient. The smartphone does everything for the user. In addition, it transfers data to the Samsung Health branded application. And this is one of the most thoughtful solutions on the market. It has everything, including third-party sports applications.

In general, prices for different models from different manufacturers are comparable within the same materials and functions. Apple Watch, of course, hovering over the market. And Letscom, which is more powerful than competitors, but is generally somewhat cheaper than the market.

Savings in case of buying smartwatches will depend on the gadget production. So, the built-in player, the ability to connect headphones or control music from a smartphone, a compass, a barometer, at least a dozen exercises, sleep monitoring, a built-in speaker, GPS and improved autonomy have become the norm for the market today.

If the maximum (on Android) on average will cost $ 300, then the good versions without some modern features (most often a player and answer calls) will cost about one and a half to two times cheaper.

Is it worth saving? Estimate how much you need these features. If you would like to train with music and not carry a smartphone with you, or if you are a person who constantly calls, it’s worth paying extra for them.

In our opinion, this item is less significant than the next. But unfortunately, manufacturers of wearable electronics prefer to stay within the same form factor. And if it really matters to you, a circle on your hand or a square will have to be based on this, and not on the watch’s capabilities.

The advantage of round trackers is a shape close to the classic. Models such as ID205L, ID152, ID115UHR, ID205, ID131ColorHR can hardly be distinguished from analog ones. Especially if you use a screensaver with an analog dial. There is only one drawback to such watches, but, believe me, it is worth it to think carefully.

Try placing text in a circle. Is it convenient to read? That’s the same. It is best to work with text and notifications implemented on the Apple Watch. On the one hand, the watch uses the screen space as efficiently as possible, on the other hand, it does not mold the text in one heap, as Letscom does.

The advantage of square trackers in readability and the amount of information that can fit on the display. This also applies to application icons (although this tracker somehow twists with its round screens in order to make the menu convenient).

So we got to the most important thing. To what your smartwatch will be able to and who will store your data. In our opinion, this item is even more important than battery life. You only have to put up with it, so we did not include it in the aspects of choice.

And above all this there is an add-on in the form of a more or less convenient interface. Apple has implemented the maximum for today, that is why Watch 5 has become my favorite. Samsung is basically on the same level, the platform, like the watch itself, has some advantages over Apple.

But in general, they do not even compete with each other, since the Apple Watch 5 does not work with an Android smartphone. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 (like other watch models of this brand) even work with iOS, but their functions are so limited that there is no point in buying.

iOS users can choose a little easier, since Apple smartwatches are much more expensive than competitors. In terms of capabilities they are generally better, and if the user is interested not only in fitness, but also in part as a smartphone, the choice lies only in the budget and different generations of Watch.

And something else. All watches except the Apple Watch have a sleep monitoring mode. The Apple Watch feature is available through third-party applications. So, all watches give so different results that I don’t know which one to believe. For fitness trackers Samsung, the analysis is approximately similar.

Letscom smartwatches analyze in much the same way as trackers of these brands. But smartwatches from other brands have a completely different picture. Between themselves a little more similar than with the platform Huawei/Honor, but still different. So we have big doubts about the accuracy and, accordingly, the value of this function.

A: Fitness bracelets of this brand are designed to motivate the user to move. The basic set of functions includes step counting, an estimate of the distance traveled and calories burned, tracking the duration and quality of sleep, as well as an alarm clock. Some models have a heart rate monitor and GPS to track your jogging path.

However, this story is not only about sports. Even inexpensive bracelets like this can display application notifications and message text. Light vibration with an incoming call helps those who often miss calls.

A: If you do not have any special requirements for functionality, the best choice would be the inexpensive Chinese smart bracelets Xiaomi Mi Band 4 and Honor Band 5. The latter gets extra points for a more convenient application and intuitive interface.

Seriously obsessed with a healthy lifestyle, take into account calories burned and exercise regularly – take a look at Fitbit Charge 2 and Samsung Galaxy Fit. Outgrown the beginner level? Huawei Band 4e will help improve the running technique, and Garmin Vivosport offers a full range of sports functions.

A: The tracker monitors physical activity using the built-in sensors, and the lack of a smartphone nearby does not interfere with its work. But you need to periodically synchronize with the application.

Because only statistics for the last week or two can be stored in the gadget’s memory. For autonomous tracking of the pace and route, you will also need a model with a GPS receiver, like the Huawei Band 3 Pro or Garmin Vivosport.

A: Usually the charger for each model is different, so just asking a friend for a replacement is not always possible. In case of trackers of famous brands, a charging dock can certainly be bought in local stores, not to mention AliExpress. The Chinese even made a convenient adapter for charging the tracker with a worn strap.

A: The most obvious difference is the size – the fitness bracelets are more compact and can hardly be felt on the arm. Compared to full-fledged smartwatches, bracelets usually work on a closed platform. They do not support the installation of third-party applications, but they can work for weeks on a single charge.

And for those who are not happy with the small screen, there are fitness watches with the functions of a regular activity tracker and a large dial.
