In the modern world, a “pedometer” is most likely toughly associated with a wrist bracelet, although this method of counting steps is the most controversial, as many probably noticed “false steps” that add a wave of the hand. In this regard, I propose to recall pedometer models not on the wrist. The selection includes a pendant, clothespin and magnetic “clip” with the function of posture corrector.
1. Misfit Shine
Provided for their users several options at once: of course, like a bracelet, in the form of an elegant pendant, more likely for girls, and in the form of a “technological brooch” for clothes. In terms of functionality, it is quite “ordinary”, but its “trick”: a way to transfer data. To synchronize, you need to attach the bracelet to the screen of the smart device.
In the application you will find steps, distance, number of calories consumed, and among the activities of Shine, swimming can additionally distinguish. Current activity without an application can be estimated by the number of burning diodes, and the more there are, the closer you are to achieving the goal.

2. Yoo
“Shine” has analogues, and first of all Goccia comes to mind, and then Yoo passed very imperceptibly .
A model with a similar method of attachment (like a clothespin) and data transfer through overlay on the screen works in tandem with a proprietary application. Frankly, I still have to get used to this “highlight”, but the device was inexpensive, moderately interactive, and perfectly suitable as a fun children's toy.
The entire product line is here .
3. Flex
The idea with a “necklace” was not invented by Shine either. As part of a collaboration with designer Tori Burch, Flex sensors for the first time offered to embellish necks in Fitbit.
In addition to designer jewelry, the girl received control over physical activity, sleep analysis, information about the distance traveled and calories burned. In addition, Flex had a smart alarm clock, and as an additional incentive, the owner of an exclusive pendant saw a list of friends and could compete with them. The classic Flex bracelet is also not without grace.
4. Lumo Lift
A good solution was proposed by the Lumo team, having made an activity tracker that analyzes activity and shows calorie consumption, but in fact it is a posture corrector.
You remember the desired position, and if the device began to give a slight vibration signal, then it's time to straighten up. Outside, you only have a small elegant magnet-brooch, the color of which can be selected additionally.
The cost of the Lumo tracker now is 7,700 rubles . Clips, unfortunately, need to be bought separately .
5. Pulse O2
In the tracker from Withings, a heart rate monitor was added to most of the functions mentioned many times, but you can’t measure the heart rate on your wrist, and you need to remove the rectangular sensor from the bracelet. Therefore, it is much more logical to wear it in a special silicone "pocket", securing it to the neckline of a sweater or trouser pocket.
In addition, Withings added the function of measuring the level of oxygen in the blood. The cost of 8,999 rubles .
6. Striiv Play A profitable
offer seems to be Striiv Play, the earliest in the brand’s device line. In addition to the basic "analytical" data, the Striiv application is "equipped" with a special fitness game, during which you settle in on the island. It's funny that your activity is a bargaining chip, which means a lack of virtual money will motivate you to additional activity.
A great gift and a stylish “clothespin” costs 2,490 rubles .
