Fastrack, a brand owned by watchmaker Titan,
launched a new activity tracker called Reflex in India. Fastrack
Reflex can track activity and sleep data and it’s priced at Rs. 1,995. Fastrack
makes watches for young people and the Reflex is no different. It is available
in various colours and each of these variants have dual-colour bands. The
outside of the band has one colour and the inside has a different one. The
pricing of the Reflex also shows that the activity tracker has been targeted at
youth.
Fastrack Reflex is compatible with both Android and
iOS. It also shows notifications for phone calls and text messages, and
features support for vibration alarms as well. If you’ve been inactive for a
while, the tracker will remind you to leave your couch or desk and walk.
The company says Fastrack Reflex is splash
resistant, which means you can’t wear it while taking a shower. The tracker can
be charged using any USB adapter or USB ports on laptops or desktop PCs.
This puts the Fastrack Reflex in competition with
the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, which is one of the best activity trackers in that price
range. The Mi Band 2 has a passive heart rate sensor which the Fastrack Reflex
does not, but that’s unlikely to be a deal-breaker for those who want activity
trackers. A passive heart rate sensor doesn’t continuously monitor your heart
rate, which makes it less useful.
Fastrack Reflex will be available primarily in
offline stores. The company said these activity trackers can be purchased from
Fastrack, World of Titan, and other retail stores in India.
In 2016, Titan had launched the Juxt Pro smartwatch,
which had 1.3-inch IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 278ppi, and Corning
Gorilla Glass 3. Titan had said the Juxt Pro is water resistant up to 30
metres.
