First of the Month Post- June
Good morning!
It’s a new month! Normally the first of a new month means a post focusing on everything new related to consoles however with E3 coming up this month, there won’t be much to say until then.
So instead, I have a short product review for the Razer Nabu X!
The Razer Nabu X is Razer’s answer to the rise in smart bands used for fitness tracking. The website lists it as tracking calories, steps, time spent active, distance walked, and sleep, with 3 customizable LED lights for alerts of texts and other compatible social media apps. The Nabu X is also listed with an estimated 7 days of battery life. The band itself comes in white, black, and Razer’s signature neon green.
Now, I’ve had my Nabu X for a couple weeks now, and I can say that it’s been everything I’ve hoped. The minutes active isn’t always accurate, but that’s my only complaint. The sleep tracking is fairly accurate, with 8 minutes of inactivity signaling rest, and 5 minutes of activity signaling waking up. The sleep tracker counts how many times you were restless and if you were awake at any point in the middle of your sleep cycle. The other big thing for me is battery life, and while listed at lasting for about 7 days I’ve gotten about 10 days out of mine before needing to charge it. The other nice thing is when it does need to charge, it only takes 2 hours for a full charge. The customizable LEDs and vibration allow you to know what kind of alert it is even though it doesn’t have a screen. As for the step tracking, the first day I was a bit concerned that it was picking up some of my typing as steps, but if it’s been doing that, I haven’t noticed.
Razer lists the Nabu X at $50, but Amazon is selling it for $40. I feel like it’s a better value than the fitbit of similar price and the fitbit that comes closest to matching in features is the $100 fitit flex, and even then it doesn’t have some of the features that the Nabu X comes with like text alerts.
I’m happy with mine, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a fitness band for a good price while still offering all of the function.
Until later,
MechaKayra out!
