Fitness trackers are getting more sensor-packed, powerful, and affordable all the time. And while the Fitbit Charge 4 still is our top fitness tracker, there are now some great budget trackers, such as the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, that offer a range of great features at a low price point.
The best fitness trackers offer more cutting-edge technology and features than ever before; think heart rate monitoring, detailed sleep tracking, waterproof for swimming, stress tracking, sports and workout modes, and, of course, step counting.
But there are still huge variations in the quality of data you get – so choosing the right fitness tracker app is just as important as what goes on your wrist.
Fitbit trackers and Garmin watches lead the way here, but the ever-expanding range from Chinese brands such as Amazfit, Xiaomi, and Huawei are also now major contenders.
Whether you’re looking for basic everyday activity tracking, or you’re after something a bit more in-depth in terms of sports and health monitoring, there’s a fitness tracker out there for you.
