The best kids fitness bracelets in 2022

What is the difference between a children’s fitness bracelet and a smart watch? First of all, the fact that smart watches have their own individual slot for a SIM card. In fact, this is the same smartphone, only in a reduced format. Also, as a rule, smart watches have a large square touch screen, and fitness bracelets are small, narrower and elongated, which displays a minimum of information. 

Fitness bracelet for children differs in the type of screen, it can be:

• Direct. Classic variant. On such a screen, you can pick up a protective film, without it it will scratch faster. Also, the disadvantages include the fact that such a screen shines in the sun. 
• curved. Improved version. Such a screen is not so easy to scratch, it does not reflect in the sun. 

The differences are in the strap, it happens:

• Removable. It is possible to change straps and choose different colors according to your mood, clothes, etc.
• Non-removable. The strap is attached to the capsule and is not removable. The disadvantages include the inability to change the appearance of the bracelet. 

Visually identical bracelets may differ in their functionality. Functions available in children’s fitness bracelets:

• Step counting. The child can see how many steps he has walked on a walk or in a whole day. 
• Heart rate measurement. A convenient function for children who play sports, run and lead an active lifestyle. 
• Sleep monitoring. Sleep is especially important for a child. With this function, you can calculate how much a child sleeps, how deep sleep is, and track other indicators. 
• Alarm clock. A child, feeling the vibration that is transmitted to the bracelet, will be able to wake up on his own. You can also use the alarm clock as a reminder. 
• Timer, stopwatch. Functions are used for sports activities and time stamps for other events.
• Receive Notifications. All notifications from social networks, SMS messages, will come not only to the smartphone, but also to the bracelet.
• Sports Modes. This feature is especially relevant for children who play sports. There is a running, swimming, walking and other mode (the number and types of modes depends on the specific model of the bracelet).
