Vibration wake-up, sleep tracking, exercise monitoring, meal recording, reminder function, network function, etc.-.
Vibration:
The smart bracelet has a built-in vibration component, which has a very distinctive feature of waking you up from sleep through vibration. Users can select the alarm clock in the settings to activate the vibration wake-up function, set the time and then save it, or set a reminder for an important event. This is a much healthier way to wake up or be reminded than an alarm, as studies have shown that being woken up by an alarm can cause panic, depression, and even affect memory, cognition, and calculation speed.
Sleep tracking:
Users press the metal cap before going to bed and after waking up, so that last night's sleep data, including the time and quality of sleep, can be synchronized to a phone or tablet via the smart bracelet. The smart bracelet clearly records four pieces of information for us, including the time of falling asleep, the time of deep sleep, the time of light sleep and the time of waking up, and in addition to recording the day's sleep data there is also the week's sleep, and generates a distinctive colorful graph of the daily data.
Finally, you can also share this week's sleep data with your friends on Weibo, WeChat, and other social media platforms, so that you can communicate with your friends about your sleep, and make appropriate adjustments to your own sleep based on the results of the bracelet's analytics.
Sports monitoring
The most important function of the smart bracelet is sports monitoring, which can record the user's daily walking steps in detail and accurately. Users can view the data synchronized with the smart bracelet through their cell phones, mainly the time of the day's movement, free time, movement distance, walking steps and energy consumption. Users working in the office sit still for a long time, the smart bracelet can also detect and remind you to do some simple stretching exercises to move your muscles and bones to prevent muscle strain. The smart bracelet also calculates calories burned based on age, gender, height, weight, and the intensity and duration of the activity.
Dietary records
Reasonable dietary control is also an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and although the smart bracelet doesn't have the ability to recognize food, its powerful software can provide users with a very comprehensive food library. Users can add food pictures or take photos to record the food they eat and choose the amount of food they eat, then the software will show us how much energy is contained in the food we consume, and ultimately the time and type of food we consume will provide us with statistics on the amount of energy we consume in a day. This way of keeping track of meals is not entirely accurate, but it does provide a basic reference for our diets.
And the smart bracelet doesn't just focus on calories, it also allows users to be more aware of the health index of the food they consume and choose healthy and balanced recipes by comparing the recorded food with the percentage of daily nutritional intake recommended by nutritionists.
Function 5: Heart rate measurement. Another particularly interesting feature of the smart bracelet is the measurement of heart rate. Users can easily know their heart rate at any given moment by simply wearing a smart bracelet on their wrist, and then use their heart rate during sleep or exercise to derive a scientific approach to sleep and exercise intensity. Although some users have reported that the accuracy of the heart rate measurement of the bracelet is not high, but with the development of technology, I believe that the relevant technical means will become more and more mature. In addition, users can share the heart rate measurement results with their friends through their cell phones, which is also a very interesting thing.
Basic Functions
It can be said that pedometer and sleep quality tracking are the most basic functions of all smart bracelets nowadays, and these 2 basic data are measured and recorded by the smart sensors and flash memory chips in the bracelet. Other data such as calorie consumption, distance traveled, and sleep quality are all calculated by the software using these two data as the basic values and adding the user's height, weight, age and other values. However, with today's motion sensor solutions, there is more or less a margin of error in the pedometer.
So for the bracelet, the built-in sensor's motion detection and the software's algorithm are the biggest prerequisites for improving pedometer accuracy. Through the above test comparison, we can easily find that under the same test conditions, the smaller the cumulative step value of the bracelet, the higher the accuracy in step counting, and the closer the recorded steps are to the real walking steps.
Of course, in addition to pedometry, sleep tracking is also a major feature of smart bracelets, but for those who need to manually turn on and off sleep tracking every day, Garmin Vivofit's support for automatic and manual sleep tracking modes is quite humane.

Battery life: Frequent charging is still a nightmareShort battery life has been a common problem for most portable digital products, and the slow development of lithium-ion battery technology has limited the relationship between the current battery capacity and its size, leading to a lot of devices that require consumers to frequently charge from time to time. However, for those who need to wear a smart bracelet continuously for 7×24 hours, it is necessary to carefully calculate when to charge it in order to avoid data outage, which is the case for every user.
Synchronization
Smart bracelets still can't get rid of the dependence on end hardware and software, after all, after collecting a large amount of data, we still need to synchronize the data with the corresponding APP of the bracelet in order to realize the permanent recording and analysis function. Therefore, whether or not it is convenient enough to synchronize a smart bracelet with a cell phone or computer is also a major factor that affects the user's experience.
Wearing comfort
Compared with the function of smart bracelet, its material and modeling design is also very important, using comfortable material and ergonomic design of smart bracelet, so as not to be uncomfortable in a long time wearing. Currently, most smart bracelets are made of medical-grade rubber, while others use a small amount of ABS engineering plastic or metal.
But because everyone has different comfort requirements and a few people are allergic to some metals, many manufacturers are using non-metallic designs on their bracelets to minimize the discomfort of those who are allergic to metals.
Reminder function
Only by adding the reminder function, we can more intuitively understand the current goal completion status or progress through the bracelet. For example, how many steps have been taken, how far we are from the goal of the day, and so on. Whether it's by LED, screen or vibration, it's more convenient than pulling out the phone and checking it on the APP. Most smart bracelets have basic alerts, but when we need to check the status, we need another hand to operate the bracelet to activate the display or LEDs on it.
Networking
The smart bracelet also has a social networking feature that allows users to share their sleep, diet, and workouts, as well as their moods, through a tethered app. It's also a protector for the elderly. With the built-in GPS connector, it can keep the relevant hospital or family members informed of the physical condition and location at any time.
A smart bracelet is a wearable smart device. Through this bracelet, users can record real-time data such as exercise, sleep and diet in daily life, and synchronize these data with iOS or Android devices, playing a role in guiding a healthy life through data.

Smart bracelet features:
Low energy consumption "love to share".
The smart bracelet has a built-in low-power Bluetooth 4.0 module, which can be connected with cell phones, tablets, and PC clients, allowing you to set up information such as height, weight, and stride and upload exercise data anytime, anywhere. In addition, the smart bracelet also has a social network sharing function, for example, users can sleep quality, diet and exercise and mood records through the binding microblogging and other social network end to share.
Whenever the fatigue reminder time arrives, the smart bracelet will remind to pay attention to rest in the form of an alarm clock, which is suitable for the current high pressure office crowd, the design is very humanized.
In terms of usage time, due to the built-in lithium-polymer battery inside the smart bracelet, the battery life can last up to 10 days, which is still a very strong endurance.
Smart bracelets, as a high-tech wearable smart device that has not been on the rise for long, are generally priced high, usually around $600 - $1200.
Medical health bracelets can measure pulse, heart rate, skin temperature, and other environmental information such as light and ambient noise levels. With a health bracelet, doctors can track and understand a patient's health even when he's not in the hospital. However, Google's bracelet will not be marketed as a general consumer electronic product, but rather as a specialized medical device that can be offered to patients or used in clinical trials.
Although, there are many smart bracelets on the market today, some of which are involved in the field of health, most of the bracelets have health modules that monitor sleep, exercise reminders, and so on, and very few of them are specifically designed to help users treat their bodies. Therefore, this medical-grade health bracelet is not only a big project of Google Labs with a long-term prospect, but also an important development direction for future smart bracelets.
