Fitness Tracker with Smart Alarm

Hi,

I had my eye on the Fitbit Charge HR, but was disappointed to learn that it doesn't have a "smart" alarm; ie. one that wakes me when I'm in a light state of sleep. I tried a smart alarm with an android app and loved it, but it's inconvenient having the mobile perched on the bed.

So, I'm looking for recommendations of trackers that have this feature. I understand that the Jawbone UP3 has this, but I'm not keen on the looks and would prefer a display if possible.

Thanks in advance.

If you can overlook the lack of a screen (although you do get an indication of daily progress via three led's), the Mi band is hard to beat. Multiple alarms, smart alarm, along with usual step count, call notification etc make it a steal at a tenner. I charge mine once every 5 weeks.

That's crazy cheap! That has to be the subscription-based one I've heard about. I'll do a bit of reading and may well be tempted, but yes, I would prefer a display of some sort really. My thoughts are that if I'm going to wear something on my wrist for the first time in about 15 years, I want it to tell the time too.

The Withings Activité Pop appeals with its eight-month battery life and waterproof construction, but it also doesn't have a smart alarm. Shame; it would have just about been perfect I think.

No subscription, just buy it and use it, and recharge when its <5% battery (>>month). But yes, no clock/display at all, it relies on your smartphone for all data/notifications, other than three led's and the vibrate function mentioned.
