Since the days of basic fitness bands that did just little more than measure steps, fitness trackers have advanced significantly. Modern trackers can track your heart health and how quickly you recover from strenuous exercise. They have a tonne of sensors and, in some situations, can compete favorably with smartwatches. Whatever your fitness objectives are, a fitness tracker can help you meet them.
1. Amazfit Bip S
The $69.99 Amazfit Bip S is an excellent option to save money. Although it isn’t the most visually appealing tracker available, it comes with several capabilities you wouldn’t anticipate on a tracker under $100. It includes a two-week battery life, a built-in GPS, detailed sleep tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, and an always-on display, among other features.
2. Oura Ring Gen 3
Like most fitness trackers, the $299 Oura Ring isn’t worn on the wrist. A brilliant ring is an excellent option for those who want something more covert. Due to its absence of a screen and refusal to forward push messages, it is less distracting than other wrist-based solutions.
3. Amazfit GTR 4
The Amazfit GTR 4 packs a powerful punch for its size. It costs only $199 and offers a wide range of capabilities typically found on wearables that cost much more. It consists of a vivid OLED screen, blood oxygen monitoring, tracking of sleep stages, tracking of stress, compatibility with Amazon Alexa, and an offline digital assistant. Additionally, it has an integrated Pomodoro timer and a native camera remote.
4. Garmin Fenix 7S/7/7X
The premium Fenix 7 series from Garmin is no joke. It has an integrated multi-band GPS, a battery that lasts for weeks, touchscreen or button navigation, topographical maps, and tonnes and tonnes of data. Another helpful addition is a real-time stamina tool that tells you how much energy you still have.
5. Fitbit Charge 5
One of the most technologically advanced fitness trackers available is the $179.99 Fitbit Charge 5. A brilliant OLED display, an electrodermal activity sensor, and EKGs are among the most notable additions to the portfolio. Intelligent features like notifications, timers, and contactless payments are also supported. It includes built-in GPS, continuous heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and SpO2 sensors for keeping track of your health.
6. Garmin Vivomove Sport
While Garmin has produced some very exceptional hybrid trackers in the past, their high price made them difficult to recommend. The Vivomove Sport, on the other hand, finally gets it right. Because of the hidden OLED display, it seems to be an analog Swatch, yet the accuracy is unchanged.
7. Apple Watch Series 8
If you’re searching for a smartwatch that excels at fitness, iPhone owners need to look no further than the $399 Apple Watch Series 8. (The LTE variant is $50 more.) Regarding the overall design, a lot has stayed the same; the Series 8 is still available in 41mm and 45mm sizes.
8. Samsung Galaxy Watch 5
It is the most extraordinary full-featured wristwatch for fitness monitoring if you own a Samsung smartphone. It is the only Wear OS 3 smartwatch now available, and Samsung has put more effort into the Galaxy Watch’s health capabilities. It boasts improved sleep monitoring, and the $279.99 Galaxy Watch 5 retains its predecessor’s 3-in-1 sensor, allowing body composition analysis.
9. Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS
Non-Samsung Android users have few options for a more smartwatch-like fitness tracking experience. However, if you’re set on going this path, the $299.99 Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is your best bet. You get the most recent Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor. That’s significant since this is one of the few watches we know will receive the Wear OS 3 upgrade when it arrives later this year.
10. Whoop 4.0
There is no screen. There are no alerts. There was nothing except continual data collection. The upgraded WHOOP 4.0 is lightweight and minimal, so nothing gets in the way of a snatch, swing, or stride.
