Like all works Of all the gear we wear on our bodies every day, fitness trackers are extremely personal. They need to be comfortable and attractive, sure, but they also need to fit your lifestyle and how and when you want to exercise. Do you bike, row or strength train? Spend hours on the trail? Or do you just want a reminder to get up every hour? Will you wear it on your wrist? On your finger? Or inside your bra?
Whatever your needs, now’s the perfect time to find a powerful, sophisticated tool to optimize your workout or jump-start your routine. We test dozens of fitness trackers every year to bring you these recommendations. Don’t see what you like here? Check out the Best Smartwatches, Best Sleep Trackers, and Best Heart Rate Monitors.
