Rating of the best fitness bracelets from Aliexpress for 2022

Fitness trackers (smart bracelets) have firmly entered the daily life of a modern person. This happened thanks to the convenient functionality of these devices - they allow not only to find out what time it is, but also to track a person’s health, control parameters related to pressure, pulse, number of steps taken, etc. Many of them have the ability to access the Internet, alerts about incoming calls and messages and many other useful features.

For those users who do not want to overpay for a famous brand, buying smart watches and fitness bracelets from Aliexpress is a good way out. The popularity of the models of smart bracelets presented on this site is largely due to their budget price, thanks to which even a schoolboy or student can afford such a gadget.

Purchases from China have long become commonplace, this system is well-established and functions without failures.Some buyers are wary of shopping here due to the potential for fraud, however, if you follow the list of recommendations from experienced buyers, there will be no problems. The seller of goods worth more than $ 2 guarantees the delivery of the goods within a certain period, and in case of non-receipt of it within the specified period, its full cost is returned to the buyer. If the received product has defects, both received during transportation and factory, you can open a dispute and return part of the money or the full cost of the order.

How to shop on Aliexpress correctly

First of all, you need to register on the site. The registration procedure is simple and does not take much time. After passing all the necessary formalities, you can start choosing the product you like.

You can select the item you want in two ways:

1. Find the desired position in the “categories” tab, and then select the product with the best conditions (price, shipping cost, seller rating, etc.).
2. Set the required name in the "search" tab - in this case, you will have to choose from several types of goods. For convenience, you can use the built-in filter that filters out products with paid delivery or a bad rating.

In order not to make mistakes when choosing a product, you need to focus on the following criteria:

• The product must be inexpensive.One of the main criteria is important for most buyers.
• Seller rating. It is determined by customer reviews. The more positive reviews, the higher the seller's rating. Many of them, in order not to worsen their rating, go towards the buyer and try to resolve all issues that arise before opening a dispute.
• The number of orders for a specific product from the selected seller. This criterion is not always indicative, since the seller may only start selling a particular product, which will cause the number of orders to be small.
• The number and quality of reviews over the past few months. According to the advice of experienced buyers, you need to pay attention only to the latest reviews due to the fact that some sellers at the start of sales could make mistakes when working with buyers, but then correct themselves and not repeat them anymore.

Rating of quality fitness trackers from Aliexpress for 2022

In modern conditions, a fitness bracelet is not just a watch, it must perform a number of functions, including a pedometer, calorie counter, heart rate monitor, sleep quality monitoring, and much more.

Consider the most popular models from the best manufacturers presented on Aliexpress.

Xiaomi mi band 4

The most common fitness tracker on Aliexpress. Smart bracelets from this company are in demand among buyers for a reason - they have a wide range of functions, good dust and moisture protection, and have the lowest price among competitors. The device can withstand immersion under water to a depth of 50 meters. This is the 4th generation of the Mi band series, it differs from its predecessors in a rounded display with full touch controls.The back of the gadget has also changed - now the sensors for charging are moved here. In general, the device has a more attractive appearance compared to previous models. The device will look good on both male and female hands.

The screen of the device has an oleophobic coating, 2.5 D glass is used here. For the first time, a color screen is used on Mi band. It has five brightness levels. However, in the sun, its visibility leaves much to be desired. The user can select up to 50 watch face styles as they wish.

The bracelet has convenient music control, switching between tracks is fast and without lags. To reduce power consumption and better sync with your phone, the gadget is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0. If the smartphone does not support this version, the connection can be made via Bluetooth 4.2.

Due to the fact that an energy-consuming color display appeared in the bracelet, the manufacturer had to increase the battery capacity to 135 mAh. According to Xiaomi, with an average load, the device retains autonomy for 20 days. Compared to the previous model, Mi band 4 has more advanced sensors - an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a heart rate monitor. However, ECG sensors and blood pressure measurement functions are still not added, which is why many potential users may refuse such a purchase.

The bracelets are available in three versions: Chinese with an NFC module, Chinese without NFC, global without NFC. There is no fundamental difference between the Chinese and global versions, since the Chinese version is updated to any language installed on the smartphone during the first boot.The NFC function, even in China, is very limited, with its help you can only pay for public transport. Therefore, according to buyers, it makes no sense to overpay for its presence, since in Russia it is completely useless.

The bracelet allows you to find out the number of steps taken, calories burned, as well as distance. In addition, you can measure the pulse, set the training mode, find out the weather forecast for the next 4 days, as well as the current location.

Notifications for phone calls, messages and other alerts stand out among the main features. Many users will appreciate the built-in stopwatch, timer, alarm clock.

The gadget supports Android OS version 4.4 and above, as well as iOS 9 and its newer modifications. The average price is 2,500 rubles.

Smart band Y5

A good option for those who have never used this kind of gadgets and do not yet understand whether they need such a device. The fitness tracker has a beautiful appearance, looks good on the hand. It comes to the buyer without packaging, in a plastic bag.

To synchronize the bracelet, you need to download the “LEFUN WEAR” application via a QR code. Compared to other similar applications, it has a limited interface, only allowing you to set the time and date from your phone.

The bracelet itself can count the number of steps taken, calories burned, distance, pulse, as well as the quality of sleep.In addition, the device is able to measure pressure. According to users, the quality of such a measurement is close to the readings of a tonometer. At the same time, the readings of the heart rate monitor may differ significantly from the actual values. There is also a function to measure the level of oxygen in the blood. It is impossible to check the value of this parameter, so it is difficult to assess the correctness of such a measurement.

The gadget does not know how to read incoming messages, so the notification function about them is practically useless. But the Smart Band Y5 has a function that is missing in many similar bracelets - turning the device on and off.

To charge the watch, you can use a regular USB input, compatibility with it is through the connector, which is located on the end of the capsule.

Among the shortcomings of the device, one can note problems with the brightness of the screen in the sun - it is almost impossible to distinguish something on it. The cost of the device is about $10.

• The package does not include a USB cable.
• not suitable for small children due to the width of the strap;
• sensors integrated into the device do not always measure vital signs correctly;
• to work with a smartphone, you can use only one program, the installation of which is done by reading a QR code.

huawei honor band 4

Many buyers wondering which company’s smart bracelet is better undeservedly ignore Huawei honor band 4, preferring its budget, but at the same time high-quality competitor Xiaomi Mi band. The manufacturer has done a great job of finalizing and improving the device, and now he can rightfully be proud of the high build quality and filling of the device.

The minimum set of accessories supplied with the device includes instructions (with a detailed description of how to set up and use the device), a charger, a USB cable, and the bracelet itself.

The screen of the device deserves special mention. It uses an AMOLED matrix, the image is clear and contrasting, with good visibility in the sun. If the three-stage brightness adjustment. The touch display also supports gesture control.You can block the screen from accidental pressing only in the "pool" mode; in normal mode, a false alarm is possible if you accidentally touch it (for example, when washing in the shower).

The following information is displayed on the screen of the device: date, time, weather, number of steps taken, distance, weather, heart rate, calories burned, sleep time, notifications (no more than 10).

A feature of the watch is tracking sleep phases using the TrueSleep function. This patented technology surpasses most similar systems, including even the Apple Watch, in terms of the quality of its work. Its error in comparison with medical electronics is 10-15%. The bracelet not only analyzes the quantity and quality of sleep, but also gives recommendations on how to improve it.

The heart rate monitor in the device uses a standard one, but it can constantly monitor the number of heart beats and warn of a rapid heartbeat.

The device supports 6 different types of workouts, including cycling, running, walking, swimming, etc. The device cannot automatically determine the type of workout, so you have to set it manually.

Among the weaknesses of this tracker, unfinished notifications can be noted: small fonts, the inability to respond to a message, the maximum number of notifications stored in the device’s memory at the same time does not exceed 10, the message length is limited. The main problem is that the operating system freezes when receiving several notifications at the same time.

The tracker has both a regular and a smart alarm clock. The latter can adapt to the user's sleep phases and is triggered at the onset of REM sleep.Additional features include a timer, stopwatch, and weather forecast. The NFC function only works in China, so it is not relevant for Russia.

Conclusion

Before choosing a fitness bracelet (smart watch), most buyers are interested in what they are, as well as which company’s device is better to buy. Before making a purchase decision, it is important to clearly define what tasks the gadget is being purchased for. So, if you only need a stylish accessory that can show the time, you can choose one of the inexpensive options presented on the Aliexpress website.

If a person is professionally involved in sports, or wants to track the quality of sleep, you should pay attention to more expensive options. And it should be smart watches, not fitness trackers.

When selecting children's smart watches, we recommend choosing devices that support incoming calls and track the location of the child. The function of removing the bracelet from the hand will be useful.

People who are interested in tracking essential parameters of human life, such as ECG, pressure, pulse, blood oxygen saturation, should not focus on the Aliexpress website when choosing a device, since you will not find a device capable of performing these functions qualitatively here. It is best to turn your attention to Samsung or Apple products.

We hope that our article will help you make the right choice and buy a smart bracelet that will delight you with its quality and functionality for many years.
