by | Health & Wellness

Oct 29, 2020

If you want to get in shape, you will need a quality fitness tracker to help you get there. Now, the fitness tracker market is as crowded as ever and only gets busier over time. Nonetheless, the benefit of this competition is that more and more devices are being released that do a great job of tracking your well-being and fitness without costing a lot. This article will outline the best fitness trackers that are trending currently.

If what you want are step counting, sleep tips, calorie tracking, and maybe even heart rate tracking and GPS connectivity, you’ve come to absolutely the right place. There are so many options available, and it can be challenging to determine which one is right for you.

Luckily, we’re here to help. We’ve eliminated the weak to select only the best fitness trackers on the market to choose from. We also have distinct features for the best intelligent watches and the best GPS sports watches for those who prefer a different cell flavor. With these cutting-edge fitness trackers, not only will you have the ability to track your activity, but you’ll look stylish while doing it.

Here are the best fitness trackers to buy.

1. Fitbit Charge 4

The Fitbit Charge 4 takes everything great about the Fitbit Charge 4 and adds GPS to it. That means it’s a better standalone fitness device, capable of giving you a bit more information without the need for a connected phone.

It’s still slim, comfortable, and able to track all of your daily stats like steps, sleep, and activities, plus giving you an accurate route and speed for races and rides. It also supports Fitbit Pay for mobile payments.

The downside to this feature is that heavy GPS use will quickly drain the battery, but if you’re looking for a fitness tracker, it certainly ticks all the boxes. On top of that, the Fitbit ecosystem is excellent, backed by a brilliant app that presents your data in an easy-to-understand way and doesn’t mess around too much with the numbers. Instead, it features sensitive metrics, so you’re always in the picture.

Fitbit is widely recognized as one of the leaders in the fitness tracker industry. Still, you might be surprised to learn that it also offers some pretty fancy options.

2. Motiv Fitness

Motiv Fitness is a slim titanium shell ring that is durable yet lightweight and comes with an app that gives you a peek at your health on a day-to-day basis. In addition to counting your steps, you will be able to see your distance traveled, calories burned, sleep, resting heart rate, and your progress toward meeting goals.

The ring is not only fashionable, but it is also dust-resistant, water-resistant to 50 meters, and scratch-resistant.

3. Bellabeat 

Once synced with Apple Health or Google Fit, you can wear the Bellabeat device any way you want, whether it’s around your wrist or even as a necklace. Bellabeat can track steps, calories, distance, and menstrual cycle and even encourages you to stay active after a long period of inaction. It is splash-proof and includes a coin cell battery that can last up to six months before needing to be replaced.

4. Garmin Vivosmart 4

If you want something slim and attractive, and accurate for health/activity tracking, you need the Garmin Vivosmart 4. Its display is small but very readable. This device can track your calories, heart rate, and steps. 

It also offers advanced sleep monitoring, stress tracking, and an Oxygen sensor to track oxygen saturation in the blood. The battery lasts for a week, so there’s no need to worry about frequent charging. It comes in a variety of colors, including berry, grey, black, and sky blue.

5. Oura smart ring

The Oura smart ring measures your pulse and body temperature. It can even detect the amplitude and intensity of your body movements. You will be able to set your daily goals for steps, calories burned, and inactivity alerts. 

You can also use the Oura Ring to monitor your sleep. This ring is available in various styles and colors, so you can choose the one that suits you best. It is expensive, but you can’t beat the quality.

6. Xiaomi | My band 3

If you aren’t using your fitness tracker to boost your pace or find your way home in the woods, you don’t need to spend a lot of money. The Mi Band 3 is a basic and simple fitness tracker; it looks a lot like the Fitbit Flex 2 but is half the price. 

The waterproof tracking unit appears on a comfortable rubber strap. It’s easy to swipe up and down, and you can hold your finger on the indented button to record exercise or take a heart rate measurement. Nor is it perfect. 

The sleep tracker is optimistic; the exercise tracker cannot distinguish between the different types of exercise. Although the application is not very attractive, the battery lasts more than a week. For those seeking the best fitness trackers on a budget, this is a perfect fit.

7. Withings Steel HR Sport

The Withings Steel HR Sport is the new model of the Withings Steel HR, a little further down this list. It offers a similar design, but it introduces a different strap, as well as VO2 Max measurement and GPS.

This activity tracker fills the gaps left by other hybrid watches and fully smartwatches. It offers fantastic battery life, and a nice analog face, and it’s not overly expensive. 

The Steel HR Sport tracks over 30 sports, is lightweight and durable, and comes equipped with enough features that fitness enthusiasts don’t feel cheated.

8. Polar Vantage M

Polar redesigned its sports watches in 2018 and launched the Vantage series. There is the V which is the top-of-the-line model, and the M, which loses some functions and doesn’t have quite the same high-end design as the V but offers much of the same quality. 

It offers excellent heart and GPS tracking, with plenty of metrics for fitness enthusiasts and runners.

It is supported by Polar Flow, a great app for viewing your data and organizing things. For those who want to track their training, the Vantage M performs well with lots of useful metrics. 

Where it can’t really compete is in smart functions – it’s not as well connected as Garmin or Fitbit, and there’s no support for mobile payments or music. But the M offers better value for money than the Vantage V, so we think it’s the better option.

Bottom Line

You will be able to spend your day in style with any of these trendy fitness trackers. You will track your stats and look good while doing it. Fitness can be on-trend if you want it to be!

Your own best fitness tracker will largely depend on style, function, and price. 

Basic trackers aren’t worth paying more than $50 unless you want a piece of smart jewelry. Only fitness freaks should be enthusiastic about bands over $100. Plus, gym bands are incredibly useful when you want to get fit or lose weight, but responsibility helps if you stick with it.
