About this deal
For some comparison tests, I used an old Tanita RD953 scale and a newish Garmin Index S2 smart scale. To truly maximize the benefits of AURA Strap 2, the new AURA Plus subscription service provides members more resources and features, including monthly fitness and nutrition reports, deep analytics of body composition, exclusive fitness content and – coming soon – a live chat function with a personal trainer. The drawback is, without it being adjustable, the size that allows it fit your wrist might make it difficult to get over your hand. The strap and its material have changed from a single adjustable boucle, velcro-like strap to a silicone loop. For exact sizes of silicone straps and wrist circumference information, please refer to the table below.
If AURA Devices determines that your Product is eligible for mail-in service, AURA Devices will ask you to send the Product by specific address. It definitely feels like a better strap to wear than the first version and it’s good to see it’s one you can keep on during swims and showers as long as you don’t go deeper than 50 meters.
Using the collected metrics, the accompanying AURA app provides users with personalized recommendations and goals to help them optimize their fitness performance. Measure how much your fat, muscles, water level, and many more parameters change over the workout or diet process.
You are guided through multiple exercises with very short, explanatory videos to show the correct technique.You’ll see a breakdown of your data along with a circular graphic that indicates whether you’re obese, jacked, twiggy or have more or less water and more or less soft tissue. It shows your body’s true dynamics, so you can better understand your performance and improve outcomes. The scope of change encompasses a wide variety of improvements from design tweaks to technology shifts, bringing user experience to whole new level. Aura does recommend that you stand with your arms out in front of your chest — sort of like you’re about to do a Russian squat dance without the actual squat — but that’s it.
