Fitness bracelet for Windows Phone

Fitness trackers have recently become not just a sports accessory; today, fitness bracelets are acquired by simple office workers who want to stay in shape but not be zealous on the treadmill in the gym. Today, smart bracelets can not only count the number of steps, showing how many calories you burned. Some manufacturers claim that their models control the activity when exercising in the pool or while enjoying other non-standard sports.

Depending on the company and price category, fitness trackers have different characteristics. Bracelets that have a display, notify you of missing messages or show time.

Initially, “smart” bracelets had only one function - the expense of steps and calories. Such accessories were very popular among athletes. The function is based on the recommendation of doctors - every day to maintain a normal physical form, each person needs to go from 7 to 10 thousand steps. The bracelet tells you how much you have gone per day, indicating whether you have reached a minimum. However, after 2-3 months of constant monitoring, this function starts to bother.

• In the application, you can also keep track of information about calls, SMS and e-mail.
• The application has GPS, so you can safely go for a run without a phone.
