Verdict

The LifeTrak Move C300 is a watch-style activity tracker featuring a low-power LCD and a long-lasting, replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery that can last up to 14 months, eliminating the need for daily charging. Key characteristics include an integrated ECG-accurate heart rate monitor, Bluetooth Smart connectivity for syncing with health apps, and water resistance up to 30 meters. It automatically tracks steps, distance, and calories burned using a pace-based algorithm that identifies walking, jogging, or running. Main pros include its highly affordable price point, always-on display, and reversible, interchangeable bands. However, notable cons include its dated dot-matrix display, lack of a vibration motor for silent alarms or sleep tracking, and reported inaccuracies during activities like bicycling.
