by Rohit Khurana • May 6, 2015

GOQii is a fitness band which has a unique feature to it that I have not seen on any other band that I have used till date. This differentiating factor is the human connect, but before I tell you more about it, let me tell you my experience in brief with other bands. I have tested and used a number of fitness bands in past including the Fitbit Flex, Xiaomi Mi Band (imported from China when it was launched there), Jawbone Up, Samsung Gear Fit to name a few. Most of them have a common features which is pedometer or step counter, which is the most common and essential feature found every fitness band that I have seen so far. Some of these bands have displays, some don’t, some even have colored and curved OLED displays. There is different level of accuracy offered by them and also different kinds of workouts they support. The most common feature is counting how many steps the user is walking and how much activity (workout) is the user doing on a regular basis.
