The Nuband Activ+ is a fitness tracker that monitors activity and sleep, it allows you to set silent alarms, will give you reminders when you have been inactive for too long and works alongside a companion app. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get an activity tracker these days and the Nuband Activ+ is a prime example of this, the strap and tracker feel and look good quality, I like that the Nuband Activ+ can display the time unlike my Fitbit Flex (much to the annoyance of my very young nephew who keeps calling it a clock). The app is intuitive and the tracker synchronises up with the app via Bluetooth without any trouble, it is here you can set your goals, for example steps per day or how long periods of inactivity can be. It has recently come to light that moving little and often can be just as effective if not more effective than one long bout of activity, the Nuband Activ+ will set an alarm off (vibrating discreetly on your wrist) to remind you that you have been sat on your bottom for too long. The app will give you a history of how well you have done in the last day, week, month and year and will display your sleep with details of how many hours you have slept, broken into deep, light and awake. Similarly, the activity is broken down into steps km and kcals, we found the steps a little inaccurate at times as I was sat at my desk and I managed to walk 11 steps in about 20mins so we have had trackers that are more inaccurate. Another issue we had was that the band popped off occasionally, most of the time it happened in the night so it’s difficult to tell as to why but on another occasion it was when I either removed my coat or jumper it would ping off. It takes three hours to charge and we were finding that the battery was lasting about 6 days which was impressive.  The Nuband Activ+ is a good value basic tracker, it will monitor any activity involving steps so cycling and swimming are out of the question but the inactivity alarm and sleep tracker are useful features and if nothing else it makes a cool looking watch.
