Lumoid Starts Try-Before-You-Buy Program for Fitness Trackers

A startup by the name of Lumoid has released a new "try-before-you-buy" service for its fitness trackers so you won't regret making a purchase, and you'll get to play around with the wearable to learn all of its features.

The new rental program provides a list of more than 20 different wearables, five of which you will be able to try on to see if you want to buy it, according to VentureBeat. Those who try out the service will have the chosen devices mailed to them free of charge, and will be able to try them out for a week before sending them back or deciding to buy them.

Consumers will have to pay a $20 rental fee if they decide they aren't satisfied with the product.

Wearables you'll be able to try out include the Garmin Vivosmart, Lifetrak Move C300, Withings Pulse 02 and Misftit, VentureBeat reported.

If you decide to buy one, Lumoid will send you back a new version of the wearable you want, PCWorld reported. Other gadgets that will be available include the Fitbit Charge, Pebble smartwatch, Samsung Gear Fit and Jawbone 24.

The service is the latest Lumoid has offered for gadget rentals, as it currently rents camera equipment, Google Glass, drones and other devices. With the camera equipment rental service, consumers can put part of the rental fee towards the purchase price.
