The Activity app is one of the company's most used apps Apple. Color rings are literally changing people's lives around the world and inspiring individuals to be more active.

Price Apple Watch SeSeries 1 starts at 8 crowns and Series 290 at 2 crowns. For this reason, it should Apple think about releasing a cheaper model.

It was also too expensive for consumers at the time of its introduction, which is why the Cupertino company came up with a cheaper alternative, the iPod Shuffle, with the basic functions offered by the classic iPod. He could use the same strategy Apple choose also in the case of your watch.
Apple Watch have a lot of features. While a cheaper fitness bracelet would only allow one thing, which is to track daily activity. Such a bracelet would have no Retina display, multi-touch support, or a digital crown. In short, it would have no physical buttons, but only three LEDs.
A cheap fitness bracelet would have an accelerometer for motion recognition, a sensor for monitoring heart rate, Bluetooth for sending data to your phone and three colored LEDs. These LEDs would light up the moment the activity circles are closed. You could manage your device through the Activity app on your iPhone. The advantage of this bracelet would be the long battery life, which would theoretically last a whole week on a single charge.
