Get the fitness tech you need without breaking the bank

Technology is changing every area of ​​our lives, and among the market trends with high growth projections is wearable technology. As the name implies, wearables are items that can be worn and they are usually connected to the internet, sending data to software that works in the cloud and returning information in usable, useful formats. Wearables are also becoming fashion statements in themselves — which self-respecting cyclist would be seen without one?

The industries that are presently leading the wearable technology segment are those connected with sports and healthcare. With wearables, patients can now collect their own health data and report it in a digital format, eliminating the need for in-person appointments. But it is sport that is leading the demand for wearables, with their ability to enhance the performance of athletes and those who wish to lead active lifestyles. Sports wearable devices are not only changing how athletes approach their training — they are changing the entire industry.

The market is understandably flooded with wearable products of every description to meet this demand, but few can match what Xiaomi can offer in terms of how much tech is packed into their devices, how reliable they are, and most importantly, how affordable the Xiaomi wearables are.

Xiaomi’s range of wearable tech products are highly accessible, even for the average South African. Their entry-level products are great for beginners or people wanting to monitor essentials such as their heart rate without breaking the bank on unnecessary frills. And if you’re looking for a watch that has it all, the Xiaomi Watch S1 Active brings a wealth of tech and style to the range, while still remaining accessible to most.
