GOQii Band

When GOQii Band was first announced in 2014, we were quite excited to see this fitness band compete with the likes of Garmin, FitBit and Jawbone bands. As it was the one and only fitness band that offered the smart coaching, where you interact with a real coach (not a bot) via the proprietary app. But there were certain things that weren’t quite appealing about this fitness band; it had an uncomfortable design, which you cannot wear throughout the day. And the other thing was that there is no automatic sleep monitoring option, you have to manual switch the active to sleep mode, then again switch tap to switch back to active mode, which was really annoying as we had mentioned in our review. But if you’re seeking a fitness band that offers more than just numbers of your health data, then this band is still the best you’ll see in the market right now under Rs 5000 range.
