The loop on the end of the LYNWO band keeps the loose end from moving side to side. The LYNWO was more comfortable, because its strap and the backside of the device is shaped differently, and because of that, it didn't pull the hairs on my wrist and annoy me. All the info you'd usually want to quickly check is easily readable right on the band itself.Īt the end of each day, the two bands were within a few steps of each other (ie: 8376 vs 8420), so the accuracy is about the same.

With the LYNWO M6, you don't need to open the app at all except to see graphs/charts/trends. The FitBit only gives detailed info in the FitBit app. Meanwhile, the FitBit Flex has 5 little LEDs that are by comparison, completely worthless. It starts with the time/date/battery, then step counter, the approximate distance you've walked, number of calories burned, blood pressure (pause to have it take a reading), heart rate (again, pause to take a reading), how long you slept last night, change screen orientation, find your phone, or turn off the band. Each time you tap it, it changes to the next screen. You can lightly touch the sensor to wake up the band and change modes. It also uses its G-sensor to activate the screen, so that when you raise your hand, it automatically shows the time for a few seconds without touching anything. The LYNWO M6 uses a capacitive touch sensor so you don't have to use any force to activate it. This will light up one or more LEDs to show how close you are to your goal.

To make the FitBit show your progress towards your step count goal, you have to firmly tap it twice. The screen dominates the front of the Lynwo, while the "screen" on the FitBit (which consists of five white LEDs) is just a little strip. When looking at the two bands, they're almost the same size and weight, though the LYNWO M6 is slightly thicker. I wore the two trackers on the same wrist for a couple days to see how their numbers compared. You don't really need the instructions though, since there's only one button, and the app is pretty good. The instructions are in English and Chinese, and the English actually isn't too bad. It just has the 2 straps, the tracker itself, and an instruction booklet. There isn't much in the box, but there doesn't need to be, either. At that price, you get one black strap and one color-stripe band of your choice. As of August 9, 2017, Banggood has it listed for US $29.99.

Meanwhile this M6 band is a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, blood pressure monitor, wrist watch, smartphone notification repeater, phone finder, and has a sharp OLED screen and an app, all for way less than the FitBit. It's still selling for over $50, even though it's just a pedometer with an app. The FitBit Flex was originally about US $90 when it first came out a few years ago. The LYNWO M6 really shines here when it comes to the amount of features you get for your money. For this review, I borrowed my wife's FitBit Flex tracker so I could compare them.įitness trackers have become quite popular as a way to help encourage people to get up and be more active, but now that the market is crowded, manufacturers need to add features to make their product really stand out. It's a small, lightweight fitness tracker band similar to FitBit and other popular trackers. sent me a sample of the LYNWO M6 Smart Bracelet for review.
