Just got back Into cycling to work and want to monitor heart rate etc 

 

Google fit is preinstalled on all my Devices 

 

But I'm looking for a cheap band to use it with 

Xaimoi band2 looks like it is but wondered if anyone has one to confirm 

 

Budget no more than £40 

 

Please help a fat guy not have a heart attack 

There have been some Jawbone and FitBit deals lately for your price bracket. 

 

Check Hotukdeals, Amazon (don't forget Amazon Warehouse too) 

These both Google fit compatible???

 

sorry but of a numpty when it comes to this 

 

Also can I have Bluetooth headphones on with these or is the Bluetooth allocated to the band 

No you won't be able to have Bluetooth headphones with any Bluetooth connected device also active. Bluetooth only supports one device at a time. 

 

Google fit, IMO, isn't all that. The dedicated tracker companies have their own apps which are much better and give much more detailed information than Google fit. 

 

They also are better at not draining your mobile battery. Unlike Google fit seemed to when I last used it with my Jawbone 2.

Also does the tracker you have definitely have heart rate monitoring? 

 

Typically you don't see this on devices below £80 when I last looked into getting one with this ability.

 

Cheaper ones guess based on activity. Even some expensive trackers and smart watches (gear, Apple watch etc) struggle if the sensors sit on dark, hairy or tattooed skin.

Only a Google pixel XL in my backpack when cycling that guessing by the speed I'm doing g assumes im cycling 

 

I thought the xiamoi (think that's how you spell it )  band pulse had a heart rate monitor
