BEST FITNESS TRACKER

 

The best fitness trackers 2021: activity bands for a healthier lifestyle

1. Fitbit Charge 4

The Fitbit Charge 4 can look nearly identical to the Charge 3, but it has one key feature that makes it the best fitness tracker on the market today: built-in GPS, which allows you to monitor your runs and walks without having to use your phone. Fitbit Pay allows you to make contactless payments, and if you bring your phone, you can access your Spotify playlist from your wrist.

Active Zone Minutes, a new feature, is also included. This is a metric for any activity that is quicker than a brisk walk, and it is based on guidelines from different health organisations. It's a basic form of heart rate training that encourages you to spend time at various levels of exertion depending on your age and health (as measured by the watch).

The Fitbit Charge 4 doesn't have a colour screen, but its icons and menus are well-designed and easy to use. It's just a couple of swipes away if you're looking for sleep monitoring, the weather forecast, or breathing exercises.

Slim, neat and packed with features, the Charge 4 bridges the gap between activity bands and serious running watches, and is truly a fitness tracker for everyone.

2. Fitbit Inspire 2

The Fitbit Inspire 2 could be the best fitness tracker for you if you're looking to build healthy behaviors and want a system that will gently push you in the right direction. It's not overly complicated, but it has all the necessary features to keep you moving and inspired, and it's really easy to use.

It's entirely powered by a sensitive touchscreen and a single side button, and it'll monitor your movement and heart rate throughout the day (with alerts when you hit your goals). There are more than 20 exercise modes to choose from, and most of them will begin monitoring automatically once the fitness tracker senses that you've started exercising.
All of your data is collected together in the extremely user-friendly Fitbit app, where you can see patterns over time, set new targets and (if you subscribe to Fitbit Premium) find a whole library of video workouts to follow at home.
There's no color screen or on-board GPS for mapping out runs, but the Inspire 2 is a pleasure to use, and ideal for beginners.
