I  know what the form factor is capable of so I set my sights very low and bought a Q8 Smart Bracelet from Amazon at a cost of just under \u00c2\u00a333. Recommended because it&#8217;s lightweight and has a great battery life. It&#8217;s not overstuffed with useless features but does function as a fitness monitor. Given the price I doubt it&#8217;s that accurate but hey, it&#8217;s a rough guide and I do what I want fitness wise anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is available on the Play Store, which is always a bonus for these things. It has a heart rate monitor, blood pressure reader (though how that&#8217;s supposed to work from its location is a complete mystery to me) and sleep monitor. Given its light weight and close fitting form it means I can actually wear it in bed without noticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll come back to this topic after I have been using it for a while.
