Fitness Tracker is certainly needed for not only fitness enthusiasts but also for everyone. It tracks your fitness activities. The app will help you to get minor details about your fitness activities. What if I tell you there is a GPS Fitness tracker in the market which also monitors your heart rate. Well you might be loving cycling around the city or jogging in your locality. What if you can store all this data in the app by using a GPS Fitness tracker.
A GPS Fitness tracker also helps you to see the route in detail in the app using google maps. It shows the exact distance traveled. This is certainly accurate data as calibrated by GPS. Many people think that the steps count and all is not 100% accurate and are skeptical before buying. GPS tracker helps you to get accurate data indeed.
Recently we used GOQii Run GPS Fitness Tracker extensively for more than a week. I have noted down my personal observations and experience with the device in detail. Let us have a look at the features and my experience with this device.
User Interface
Well, after unboxing the device you will get to see the Device itself, Activation Code and User Manual. You can use the device on any of your wrists. You can put it on your hand which is less used. So if you are a right handed person then you must place the tracker on your left hand and vice versa.
Using the device is very simple. You can tap just on the below screen. The device shows details. It will display you battery indicator, Time, Date, and left side will be the goal meter. This goal meter is actually of 10 levels. So if you set your daily target of 10,000 steps, and you finish only 1000 steps then 1 level will be filled up with green. This is certainly useful information on the home screen on the device.
To see other menus you can just navigate using swiping down to up or up to down. When you swipe up to down, first menu is the steps count, then HR(Heart Rate) Pressure and Track Exercise. When you go to the Steps count menu, you can see the step count of that day. You can also tap on it to get more details. These details are Time traveled, Distance covered in km and Calories burnt. So you get to know how much you traveled till date and time.

If you want to Keep GPS ON, you can do it so that you can see a map on your app and can exactly caliberate the distance traveled and a good log report is maintained.
We had used the Goqii Vital in the past and the major change we saw in this device was about the GPS tracking. Apart from that in Goqii Vital there was a mode where in you would easily check your BP. This device lacks the BP mode for sure which was missed indeed.
Apart from that the statistics shown after activity is improved a lot. Also we observed that if you start the walking tracking from exercise then it gives you milestone alerts like when you passed 1km while walking, the device will vibrate and notify you. So you get to know that you have walked 1km which is really amazing feature.
