In amongst the many, MANY activity trackers out there the Bellabeat Leaf stands out with its beautiful feminine design. It can easily be mistaken for a piece a jewellery instead of an activity monitor when in fact it is both natural wood and stainless steel. Depending on which model you choose, you’ll get a light wood with silver stainless steel leaf or a dark wood with a rose gold leaf. Firstly, it is lovely to see an activity tracker that doesn’t look like a digital watches’ more intelligent cousin, the designers at Bellabeat haven’t just thrown a bunch of diamantes at a rubber wrist strap and claimed, “this one is for the girls”. The leaf design is chic and discrete and can be worn as either a clip, necklace or bracelet, the features are also built around a woman’s lifestyle and health making it a rather unique product. The versatility in how the Bellabeat Leaf can be worn is great as most activity trackers are worn on the wrist which can be uncomfortable to sleep in whereas the Leaf can be clipped to pyjamas and forgotten about. The bracelet is difficult to put on and there is an online tutorial but I usually ask my partner for help, it does look nice as a bracelet but I’m sure there could be a more user friendly design. The Bellabeat tracks your daily activity (steps, distance covered and calories burnt) and sleep (quality and quantity) both tools we would expect with an activity tracker but it also monitors your monthly cycle and offers coping techniques for stress, two things we haven’t seen before in a product like this. The monthly cycle helps you understand your body and gives you an insight into how your menstrual cycle can affect both your physical and mental health. The Leaf will also walk you through personalised breathing exercises to help you relax your body and mind, a smart tool that I haven’t come across before and one I really enjoyed using. The App is intuitive and gives you plenty of info at a glance, it can be customised to suit your lifestyle allowing you to set inactivity reminders, silent alarms and pill reminders, however it can be a bit of a pain to sync sometimes we had to do it 2 or 3 times until it updated the info. We also found the step count was less accurate than other fitness trackers we have tested which is a shame as it is the basis for all your daily activity. Something I do love about the Leaf is that it has an old fashion battery inside which means you don’t end up wearing a dead activity tracker for a day since you forgot to charge it up the night before or I forget to wear it at all because it is still plugged into the charger at home. I like the unique combination of features aimed predominately at women’s health and the design and versatility of the Leaf, the app looks great but seems to have a few bugs but no more than any of the other companion apps we have used for similar products. I would like to see the accuracy tightened up a little on the step counter and if the Leaf was waterproof and the app a bit smoother it would be the perfect product, but as it stands it is a great activity tracker with many useful features that looks stylish too. RRP $119.99 (Silver) - $149.99 (Rose Gold).
