Smart bands are also called fitness trackers, which are gatgets worn on the wrist designed to measure indices that have bearing on one's health such as heart rate, calorie burned, physical activity, and sleep. If you think about it, a smart band operates like a mini computer since it has it's own algorithm to make sense of the inputs it receives from it's wearer.

Information recorded by the smart band can then be viewed wirelessly on a smarphone or a computer which the user then can use to have a general idea of his or her fitness level.

There are several brands of fitness trackers available in the market which offers varrying acccuracy, designs, and price range.
