With each new variant of Covid-19, it is possible that the country will block and enforce social distancing agreements more strictly. Therefore, some companies have not yet decided to start full-scale work from the office and provide employees with more time to continue working from home.
It has been more than a year and a half since the lockdown became the norm. Although most people have adapted well to work efficiently at home, the fitness system has relegated to a secondary position. Most people I know, even myself, have gained weight. It is recommended to get back in shape, otherwise, we will face the risk of diseases caused by passive lifestyle, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity.
There are a variety of fitness bracelets and smart watches on the market that can help us cultivate discipline and track our progress. Among them, Oppo offers affordable Band Style wearable devices at a price of Rs 2,799.
I spent a lot of time on it, this is my opinion on Oppo Band Style.
Design and manufacturing quality It uses a 1.1-inch AMOLED-based 24-bit color touch screen, a 2.5D display design, 100% P3 color gamut, and a 2.5D scratch-resistant glass protective cover on the top. This helps protect the device from scratches during daily activities.
In addition, it has a 5 ATM water resistance rating, which means that the device can withstand water pressure up to 50 meters deep. I can't go swimming to test this aspect, but I was really caught in the rain, and I was happy to notice that it was working fine.
In the abdomen, it has a two-pin charging point and is also equipped with a biometric sensor to track the heartbeat and SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation level).
The charging panel that comes with the retail package is very sturdy. The module can be easily docked and separated.
The user interface and performance settings of the band style are very simple. I just need to install the Oppo HeyTap Health app and follow the steps on the screen. It only takes a few minutes to pair the wearable device with the companion phone and start using it.
The display is very sensitive to touch and responds quickly to swipe gestures. During the entire review period, I did not encounter any problems when using the fitness bracelet. In addition, the brightness is enough to read outdoor notices and time under direct sunlight.
The company has provided Band Style with more than 40 dials that users can match with their clothing.
Band Style has a three-axis accelerometer to help track activities more accurately. It can monitor 12 kinds of exercise activities such as badminton, elliptical machine, fat-reducing running, free training, indoor cycling, indoor running, outdoor running, outdoor cycling, outdoor walking, rowing machine, swimming, and weight training.
To check the calories burned and other fitness indicators, you can check it on the mobile app. In addition, the idle alarm function does its job perfectly, allowing us to stand and walk at least once an hour.
The SpO2 tracker works well with its asking price. I have compared with some top brand models and there are slight differences in blood oxygen level readings.
However, I still recommend that users only rely on certified independent medical devices to read SpO2 because they are more accurate.
As far as the heart rate monitoring function is concerned, it does a great job. Yes, I did compare with several rival brands, one budget and another costing a premium of over 30,000 rupees. The difference in readings is negligible.
It can also track sleep well, and we can see statistics such as deep and light sleep details on the app.
In addition, Oppo Band Style can be used to control the volume or change music tracks on the phone. In addition, users can also use the "Find My Phone" function to ring the misplaced matching mobile phone and find it. There is also an option to control the camera shutter button. This will come in handy to take a group photo on the phone.
In terms of battery life, it is equipped with a 100mAh built-in battery. Using all functions, it can last more than 10 days.
Final thoughts Oppo Band Style is a cost-effective fitness tracker. It has all the standard biometric and activity tracking functions that we expect to be used in smart wearable devices. A notable aspect of the retail packaging is that the company offers an additional visually appealing band, which adds value to the wearer’s style quotient. This makes Oppo Band Style an attractive purchase option.
