LG Smart Activity Tracker takes on Nike Fuel Band, we go hands-on

CES 2013: Fight

LG has released what in the beginning appears like a Nike+ Fuel Band clone at CES in Vegas, but which on closer inspection includes more features along with a guaranteed summer time release.

The brand new wristband from LG is virtually identical in styling towards the Nike, offering even lower towards the dotted font, rubberised feel and USB clasp to lock it by your side. ?It includes a curved touch-sensitive display that allows you swipe through information like pace and distance instead of pressing a control button - although there's still a control button too.

In which the bracelet really begins to differ though is incorporated in the technology it provides. One-boosting the Fuel Band, LG as added an altimeter for additional accurate location data in addition to a standard accelerometer. Which means it'll measure terrain along with your mincing around.

You will also have the ability to hook it up for your Android smartphone and take control of your music playback with the Wise Activity Tracker, too a, see a caller's identity, because it shows callers' amounts. It will not display texts, but will show you when a person's received.?

Instead of synergy with popular running application RunKeeper, LG has designed its very own application to accompany the unit. You'll have a far more-visual representation of what is happening, what lengths you've walked, and whether you've hit your target.

Within the flesh, and also the sports tracker looks good - although we are really not too sure concerning the display. We found the screen very difficult to read and also the glass edge a little tacky in comparison towards the Fuel Band and also the Jawbone Up. But we all do such as the capabilities and the opportunity to see a caller's identity you without needing to get the phone from your pocket.?
