A bit of a shame that the author didn't mention the Garmin vivofit 4, which as far as I can tell hits nearly all of the actual requirements of a fitness band. Yes, it has a screen, but it's definitely in a different class from other smart watches, and the biggest weakness of a screen (battery life) is neatly mitigated (it has a claimed 1 year life). Price is right too ($100).
