hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room move offers an activity band that is unlike anything I've seen in the past the second generation move claims that record movements in 3d offer audio feedback in real time to improve your performance and coaching like no other not bad in theory considering the move now is only $79 retail you can click on the link in the video description below for the most updated pricing regardless I'll test the band and show you what works and what doesn't so without further ado my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to jim's review room go over the physical features the retail package will include two straps one for your wrist and the other one for your ankle both straps are super smooth very easy to wear and elastic for comfort more importantly for me they are breathable the move itself goes inside the band and is essentially just the tracker and I'm not saying this is as a negative or so but so that you're aware there's no clock or display no silent alarms or vibrations from this the tracker itself when worn properly snug has never fallen out but if I had to critique one area when taking the band off the move snapping buttons here tends to fall out easily so be cautious about that but while wearing this has been perfectly fine in no issues whatsoever the band has never come undone during my workouts despite using this snapping button style and before I forget to mention the move now it does have all-day tracking capabilities but the focus and wear this does really shine is during your recorded workout sessions let me jump into the app and I'll show you exactly what I mean on the main page move now focuses on active minutes taking numbers from the World Health Organization 30 minutes is the minimum daily recommended number for a healthy lifestyle tapping on this shows your general activity with those active minutes being colored and as you can see there isn't much information or data like distance calories and so on like other bands and it's very similar for sleep as well this does automatically and accurately tell you when you fell asleep in for how long but the information and how it is displayed it isn't as robust as other bands at the markets regardless it is something though for you to look at but backing out on the very top offers the different exercises that this can track starting with running and walking during my test I quickly realized this tremendously helps beginners and amateur runners all the way up to enthusiasts and maybe even pros each of running exercise offer can be adjusted to match your skill level where they swipe up and each swipe you can see the cadence and interval time change but while running here you'll hear audio cues from your coach indicating your pace and if you need to pick up speed how many more minutes are left in your interval how much distance has elapsed and how much time you have left to go the app also tells you if your feet is hitting the ground too hard and yes the move somehow is able to measure the g-forces and impact in the audio cube advice to either shorten or lengthen your stride as can measure the range of motion of your feet the sensors in this thing is pretty intense now during my run here where this works for beginners are audio cues of subtle reminders to relax your arms or shoulders something that the band doesn't recognize obviously but those reminders will trigger your mind to become more self-aware once again the during your strenuous run when your mind could be focused on something else here's a real audio sample dirt my run to give you an idea what this can do for you alright the first interval will start in a moment we're aiming for at least a nine minutes 51 seconds per mile time today get ready 7 half mile interval starts now you are 7 meters behind the goal your face is just right great work we are 170 meters into the interval the target pace for this difficulty is 9 minutes 51 seconds per mile and you are at nine-thirty land directly underneath your body so that you don't over stride overall I love the running portion of this app as the metric focuses on your runs performance the key components and helping to make you a better rudder and one thing that I'm always afraid of with these coaching type programs the suggestions can get repetitive now for the most part we move now is that as different running exercises from efficiency running to brisk walking sprinting they all have a good variety of suggestions it really does feel tailored to those challenges a huge plus in my book for that now next up is cycling which doesn't offer any workout programs which is understandable since your location or terrain would dictate your performance but the app does show in real time if you're pedaling too slow or too fast in turn the app would then suggest for you to switch gears and explain if this would basically save your knees from the extra stress or maybe insist that you're taking it a little too easy second the app enables your GPS allowing for the app to record your speed and distance very accurately it last is move power which is a proprietary number here based on your weight cadence speed etc it's a measurement of the power you're using and in gauge of how hard you should be working the bike here's some audio samples on what the biking portion of the app can advise this cadence is very low and easier gear will help you increase cadence and reduce nice train this is a very low cadence and easier gear will give you a better cardio workout for this same speed one mile complete total time 9 minutes 16 seconds moving speed for this mile 12 point 0 miles per hour average cadence 56 revolution per minute moved power 96 moving on to at home coaching there's exercises consisting of jumping jacks squats push-ups setups etc the app will display that workout needed to be performed up top here so you can imitate if you're really unsure and while I'm doing each exercise you can see the green lines move up and down or back and forth registering my movement in real time each time the band wraps around that circle it's a completed action like I said it's pretty accurate but on some occasions although I do the exercise and may not register completely some exercises did require a bit more precision on my end to have correct for some reason now this didn't happen too frequent for this to become a malfunctioning unit or in bad user experience but overall on the more difficult levels it did become challenging but I must say even skipping ahead and unlocking levels 12 and above it's the same repetitive exercises over and over again the 3d movements being registered in real time looks cool but the repetitiveness gets a bit dull after a while so hopefully more workouts will be available down the road later last and this is only available on Apple devices for the time being and move did disclose to me that Android users will eventually have this early of 2016 it's cardio boxing now I didn't have anywhere else to really display my iPad here so using the night stand still worked out great but this is really the most fun that I've had with penny ban this does require to move now trackers one for each wrist of course and the exercise works kind of like a tower hero or rock band that you see on Playstation or Xbox you jab cross hook and uppercut while switching stands periodically hitting the air whenever the target crosses the line indeed you can just swing your arm anywhere you can swing gently and it will still register and move but to help alleviate those who may kind of cheat the system here and become numb to this game the tracker does measure your speed of each punch the amount of g-forces that you put in and also the accuracy and response times the more aggressive you are the more once you do accumulate and it's pretty fun overtime and once the difficulty levels does increase the speed will increase as well ensuring that you will be sweating by the end now some things that I want to discuss an address which are definitely pluses for now only on iOS and Android later you can pair a bluetooth 4.0 chest heart rate tracker for walking running and biking there is no rechargeable battery but they sell better inside last up to six months per move here and you can also adjust the coaching frequency within the app to basically reduce the coaching audio cues so it wouldn't be as frequent and last being honest I didn't test this while in the swimming pool however briefly looking into a swimming session the phone does not need to be nearby you just basically leave the tracker on your wrist and when you're done you basically stop the tracker with the app the app will ask you for your pool length when you're done and will calculate your distance lapse pace and stroke count so overall I honestly love this thing especially for running and biking for its data and little reminders while I'm out the only thing that I would have to critique and they're really minor compared to what this has to offer as you have heard some of the coaching the voice does get pretty mechanical over time now wish there were more updates or downloadable home workouts considering that this is moves 2nd generation and again this is just me being picky you do have to carry your phone while running and biking may be wearing a phone armband or Camelback backpack would definitely help and now it also suggests getting some wireless earphones too and this is clearly not moves fault at all but just a pro tip biting within ear earbuds is somewhat dangerous as you can't hear your surroundings as well at least from my experience I should learn the hard way consider getting some earphones that basically sit on the outside of your ear canal instead of the inside with previous safer bet but for just $79 I do highly recommend the move now and I'm really shocked it's not more widely known to the mainstream consumer so this review helped you in some way I am so sorry my no sound so nasally I do have a one and a half year old daughter that goes to daycare and it is December so she's getting sick then I'm getting sick so I do apologize but you know I am a one-man band here I guess you can say I have the old one running this so I do have to get these videos out I do apologize but if you can't be sure too I can subscribe if you haven't already and add me on to Facebook Twitter or Instagram again I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room and my channel is here to help you make your purchase decision you guys take care and I'll see you the next one bye you
