AXTRO Fit 2: Fitness Tracker for National Steps Challenge Season 5 (Singapore)

Every season, a new fitness tracker will be introduced to the National Steps Challenge participants. Season 5 begins on 26 October 2019, and AXTRO Fit 2 is the next fitness tracker developed in collaboration with National Health Promotion Board, Singapore.

• Colour screen with user-friendly interface and viewable under sunlight

• Steps and activity tracking with improved g-sensor
• Dual watch-face (either digital or analogue watch-faces for user selection)
• Extended battery life (last 5-7 days per charge)
• Magnetic charging cradle (much easier to charge device compared to previous models)
• Workout Mode (track your exercise more easily and view real-time heart rate)
• Water resistant (not suited for swimming, bathing)

Works with Healthy 365

The retail unit comes with the fitness band, magnetic charging dock, and quick start guide. To get it started, install the Healthy 365 app on your smartphone, register an account (if you have not done so), click the “app” menu, and select the new tracker. The phone will detect the AXTRO Fit 2 and display a pairing code for you to enter. Once paired successfully, the date and time will be synced to the fitness tracker and you will see your health stats on the app.
