Review: Micromax YU Yufit Fitness Band



Wearable tech is been around for quite some time now but it has not gained any attention from the common man. This may be because of high cost of this wearable which common man thinks as too much to buy. The wearable tech was brought to us by Nike, Apple and Fitbit. the cost of this was very high.

News: The Tech Research

But last year MI got market to surprise by launching a fitness band for just 999. This made common man think of a wearable tech. So now, we have a new smartphone venture in the market named YU. They launched their first phone YU Yureka last year and it was a success. you can check our review of Yu Yureka here. Then they came up with a new low budget phone with very good specs named YU Yuphoria. And now they launched there fitness band against the Mi fitness band.

This YU Yufit band is a fitness band with all the features which anyone wants in a fitness band plus to add on to it it has a OLED display which makes it superior over MI band. They also launched two companion apps with this Yufit band.



Features:
DISPLAY: Clear OLED Display for time, calories burnt, distance covered and task alerts. Switch device modes simply by touching the screen.

ACTIVITY TRACKER: Analyzes your daily activities and monitors your sleep quality.

WATER RESISTANCE: Be it rain or a shower, its water resistance capability allows you to take part in your daily activities without a worry.

SOSGet instant alerts, message and call notifications directly on your YUFIT Display for a tension free workout or quick viewing on the move.

Comes with two fitness apps, Yufit app and healthifyme. This yufit app has features such as Task Alerts and smart key feature which can be program to do some work for you. Other app i.e. healthifyme app Track your diet, monitors your weight trends and keeps a track of your calories burnt. Let's you choose from over 500 exercises and activities from the database.

Pros:
  • OLED Display
  • Real time Notification alert
  • Indian calories counter
  • Light weight build
  • Low cost
Cons:
  • Battery life(as compared to others in the market)
  • Less accurate readings



Now, the most important verdict. If we compare it with the competitor i.e. Mi band we can say that its just that Yufit band has a Display which displays time and other important things. We can sum up all the discussion in a line as that in some areas it’s better than MI band but  in some areas it lags far behind(less accurate readings)! So if you are a person who wants more accurate readings then go for MI band and if you want a more stylish band with display go for Yufit. Make your choice properly, both are worth buying. Thank You.

  1. Wearable technology is not only changing the way we do sports but also helping partially sighted people "read" on their own. These glasses for visual disability is a unique artificial vision product that reads text from any surface, identifies products and even recognize people's faces. With this assistive technology, people who are legally blind can achieve greater independence.
