Are Smart Bracelets Useful For Everyone?

Single function bracelet is idle
Sophia purchased a smart Bracelet "Jawbone UP24" in April this year, the price is over $120. "My son is 7 years old this year but does not has a good health. When he was checked as adenoid hypertrophy, afraid of his sleep apnea, I bought a smart bracelet." In addition, Jawbone UP24 smart bracelet can monitor the movement situation, and can determine the intake of nutrients by importing daily diet, and the kids does not feel uncomfortable. Sophia felt this smart bracelet’s function is very suit her needs.

But as her son’s health gradually improved, the bracelet has lost its role. "Occasionally my husband go out for exercise will wear this smart bracelet, the rest of the time is idle in a locker." Sophia said.

To spend big price on buying this smart bracelet, why they stop to use it? Sophia think, the most important function of smart bracelet is sleep monitoring and detection of movement. Sleep monitoring will have a certain role at the beginning, but after sleep improvement, this function will lose its significance. Movement monitoring only monitor land movement, it cannot monitor summer's main sports such as swimming, also lost meaning.

"There is a drawback, smart bracelet must match the mobile phone APP to use, which can see the monitoring report, a little be flashy without substance." As a mother, Sophia hopes the bracelet better cope with the physical needs of children. "For example, my son is very easy to fall ill, the bracelet can detect before being wrong"

Touch feeling is not so good and no many functions
Alex bought a smart bracelet in May Day period, price is less than $70. "Wife is pregnant at that time, so we want to buy a smart bracelet for her, a good monitor her health."

But only after 1 week, the smart bracelet lost its role. "For pregnant, these functions are not very practical. Too little data of body, just a sleep monitoring. Even it has data of body, if user lack of professional knowledge, it is very difficult for him to read. What’s more this bracelet must cooperate with mobile phone to receive data, my wife is afraid of radiation, it is no use for her."

Alex told reporter, he had great interest on smart device, especially when Google glasses listed. "Sensory science fiction movies that wear glasses, feeling that everything is under control." But the listed wearable device makes him a bit disappointed. "Samsung smart bracelet which can receive email, SMS alerts, but also just a reminder, need to cooperate with mobile phone. Other wearable devices, also basically only sleep + motion monitoring function, even if is the main function of health care, too few. Not suitable for pregnant women. And the hand feeling is not very good".  In this regard, Alex said, the short term he wouldn't buy any other smart wearable devices.
