Verdict

The HTC Grip is a rugged, performance-focused fitness tracker developed in partnership with Under Armour, featuring a curved 1.8-inch PMOLED mono touchscreen and integrated GPS for phone-free activity tracking. It is built with an IP57 dust and water resistance rating and utilizes a 100mAh battery providing approximately 2.5 days of use, or 5 hours with active GPS. Main characteristics include its seamless integration with the UA Record ecosystem and compatibility with both iOS and Android. Its primary pros are the bright, easy-to-read curved display and the inclusion of standalone GPS, which was a standout feature for runners at its time. However, notable cons include the lack of a built-in heart rate monitor, relatively short battery life compared to competitors, and a rigid, bulky design that lacked aesthetic customization.
