International Business Times also detailed that the FitRist is water-resistant and connects with iOS (version iOS 7 and above) and Android (version 4.3 and above) smartphones through Bluetooth. Through it, the device can alert users if there are any notifications such as mails, messages and even calls. Users can also control music tracks with its syncing capability. Aside from that, it can help in locating the smartphone.

Gadgets 360 also noted that the fitness band can stay alive with up to 12 days of battery life. It is also equipped with a Remote Shutter feature that will let users control the camera on a smartphone from the band itself. Furthermore, it weighs 21 grams only and comes in two colors—Dark Blue and White.
