In the early times, people used to tell time by looking at the position of the sun, and then in 1505, a man named Peter Henlein invented what can be called the first watch. From mechanical clock-watches to quartz watch which uses electricity to run and finally to smartwatches and smart bands also known as fitness bands they have kept evolving and never stopped. Even today after all of these technological accomplishments achieved by the fitness bands the manufacturers keep coming out with more advanced bands with more features. Previously only a handful number of companies used to make smartwatches, bands, or fitness trackers such as Samsung a technological giant, and Sony which eventually faded out and left the market of fitness bands in India. Nowadays even phone manufacturing companies are coming out with their version of the product and not gonna lie, they are doing a great job. So there can be a bit of confusion when you consider buying one of them and this is where we come in. We have prepared this guide to provide you with the best Fitness Bands available but all of them mentioned below are under Rs. 5,000 and 10,000 as going above this budget you get smartwatches and Fitbit fitness bands only, on which we are going to write a guide very soon so stay tuned.
