LifeTrak Zone C410: Accurate fitness tracking at an affordable price

The LifeTrak Zone C410 is the newest activity tracker from Salutron, a company known for its heart rate technology in exercise equipment.

The watch band is reversible and also interchangeable. LifeTrak offers 13 different band color combinations on its website.

The Zone C410 features a design that is similar to a traditional sports watch.

The watch sits securely on your wrist after poking the two pegs through the rubber watch band, a method used by trackers from Fitbit, Samsung, and others

There are two small buttons on the right-hand side: one for starting, stopping, and syncing, and the other for scrolling through the various display screens. Holding both buttons will activate the display’s backlight.

A third and larger button on the front of the device can be pressed to scroll through the various tracking modes, or held to calculate your heart rate.

The Zone C410 tells you the percentage of your maximum heart rate with a small icon under the BPM data.

Older models had a black background with white numbers that were incredibly difficult to read at a quick glance or while outdoors. An updated model that is shipping to customers now reverses the color scheme, making the display much easier to read.

The Zone C410 can automatically track your sleep, but it can sometimes be fooled when you sit still.

Along with hour slept, distance traveled, and calories burned, the Zone C410 also tracks the number of steps you take.

A companion app is available for Android and iOS devices, but the on-screen menu can also be used to change your settings on the go.

The LifeTrack ZonC410 is available now in the United States, Europe, and Australia. It retails for for $99, £47, and $AUD117.
