Amazfit Band 5 review: A budget fitness tracker - Wareable

In terms of the reliability of the data, we found that it tended to be in the ballpark for most data compared to another fitness tracker. Designed to operate in all frequency bands between 1 and 6 GHz, it offers higher data rates and lower latency compared to previous Wi-Fi technologies. Ultimately, you can't really go wrong with either if you want a cheap fitness tracker that isn't a disaster or problematic to live with.For treadmill running, it's a similar story on the accuracy front, though you can calibrate to ensure you get more reliable data next time you jump on. The fitness tracking overall rating includes how accurate data is for steps, distance (not using a paired phone's GPS), calories burned and heart rate, how consistent the device is and what the sleep function is like (for those models that have one). There’s no automatic brightness setting, probably due to the lack of an ambient sensor, so you’ll need to adjust as you go.
