HTC is joining the wearable party with a smart band of their own.

The HTC Re Grip will be geared towards fitness enthusiasts rather than those hoping to have a mini-computer on their wrists, according to Mashable.

The Re Grip is a fitness band and a GPS tracker built into one. It's a flashy neon yellow and black band that looks similar to the Nike FuelBand. 

The display on the Re Grip is low-resolution, just like the Nike FuelBand, but it has a better feel to it and is actually more ruggedized.

Designed for active individuals, the Re Grip has sensors to measure various activities like running, jogging and cycling. Runners will appreciate the GPS feature that does not require a phone to be nearby. 

An excellent app will accompany the Re Grip. Instead of creating their own app from the ground up, HTC partnered with Under Armour to make an app, thanks to a partnership created in January. The Re Grip will work with the UA Record app which is compatible with iOS, Android and web browsers. The UA Record app has not been integrated with Apple Health or Google Fit yet. 

HTC chose not to include a heart rate sensor on its device because it thinks that wrist sensors are inaccurate. Instead, HTC recommends using a third-party chest strap to pair with the Re Grip.

The HTC Re Grip is a powerful and durable device that will not need a phone nearby to keep it working. However, the Re Grip does add text alerts and phone notifications when a phone is nearby.

When the GPS is turned off, the Re Grip can last up to 2.5 days before it needs a charge. When GPS is turned on, the Re Grip will get about 5 hours of battery life. 

The HTC Re Grip is also waterproof, which is perfect for fitness enthusiasts. The smart band will be capable of being submerged in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes.

According to The Verge, the HTC Re Grip can be purchased for $199 from various retailers.
