The activity sensor Beurer AS 80 is suitable for monitoring the daily activity and sleep and is delivered in an attractive blister pack. It should be noted that the AS 80 to connect via Bluetooth Smart (4.0) needed. Best therefore clarify beforehand whether the phone or provided for evaluating device (an iPod Touch 5G is also) this standard also supported. In the pack, the sensor and a clamp-like Charger with USB port found. The accompanying Quick Start Guide is unfortunately quite a few questions unanswered and provides the greatest criticism of the otherwise pretty and practical device for me is. The silicone bracelet fits well on both small as well as on strong wrists and wears very comfortably. The sensor at right-handers the left, and left-handers should be applied right to the measurements are not distorted. The Beurer AS 80 reacts with a 3D sensor to movements and registered as the steps of the user. The step length is, as well as other data, set in the corresponding app. Thereby, also the distance traveled are determined - at least approximately. Because if the results are measured on the step or the accuracy of meters, was once an open question. Therefore, in two different working days with approximately equal employment occurred in me quite too deviations. However, I use the Beurer AS 80 not as a device to meter accurately measure, but rather a general overview of my daily activities to obtain. The sleep tracking seems to be quite accurate; Whenever I wake up at night and look at the clock, this is displayed as a restless sleep; a wax phase contrast, I have to get out of bed, so that the sensor registers this. The sleep mode must be activated manually, unfortunately the manual is silent on that, this should be done by a long press on the button of the device. Cute icons are on display, in addition to the carrier upon activation of the sleep mode, and when you exit Goodnight Good Morning is desired. The display is activated either by pressing a button or tapping twice on the screen, as is provided by the other ads. Per app can be a daily alarm by vibration program and the daily goals to enter that need to be achieved. The current progress is displayed as a percentage and in absolute terms and as steps and distance in kilometers; Furthermore, the purpose about calories consumed and the total duration of the activity. A long press of a button (and switched on Bluetooth on mobile phone), the synchronization is started and the data collected is passed on to the smartphone and optionally also to an online portal. It has other devices from Beurer, can be personalized with the same app also the weight, blood pressure and blood glucose monitor. Waterproof the AS 80 is not, so it must be stored for swimming or in the shower. Although the unit may be made, in my opinion waterproof.
Conclusion: convenient and practical Activity Tracker with sleep tracking, unfortunately a star deduction for lack of guidance and the lack of waterproofing.
