Best fitness trackers according to redditors

http://imgur.com/gallery/cFitj

I ordered the skin from Shirt Punch a week before Christmas and arrived soon after. Installing it was fairly simple and the quality is pretty nice.

The band I ordered off of Amazon as part of a set of bands designed for the Misfit Shine, they fit very well on the Plus and I decided to go with the white one as I felt it looked the best with the skin I have.

Dresses with pockets are a rare find so what I do is clip mine onto a bracelet that I read about another trainer using and keep it flipped upside down. I too am a manager and as long as I am not running meetings I keep it on and use it. When I am up front and presenting I keep it on my lap. I did have someone ask me if it was a step tracker and i giggled and said kinda and then told her what it was. They all think I am crazy for playing, I think they are crazy for not...

It's for pokemon. Called Pokemon Gotcha.

Surprised to see no one mention Polar.

I tried what others here have stated - used a Forerunner 235 on my first ultra, but forgot to charge it using the battery pack at one of the aid stations and it died 8 miles from the finish.

I switched over to the Polar Vantage M which is in the same price range as the Forerunner, but with a 30 hr GPS battery life. Started a 50-miler last month with full charge, and finished with just under half battery life (I’m slow, so it was a 16 hr time).

They also just updated their software in May, so it includes a bunch of smartphone options (which can all be turned off) if you find that useful. Overall, I seriously love this watch.

We have ordered 5 go-tcha's from amazon with no issues at all. Made by Datel, the same ones you can get at gamestop. I have never heard of anyone getting banned for one. If you order on Amazon, just pay attention to the seller's name. Nintendo sells the go-plus, Datel sells the Go-tcha.

I bought a refurbished Garmin Forerunner 235 on Amazon, looks like it's $230 right now but maybe Black Friday could get it under $200? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MATKIWO/ref=twister_B07DPGR44N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I used it for a Trifecta + two other OCRs and while I had to clean it pretty well after mud made the buttons hard to press, it's still working very well for me.

Growing up poor, I saw first-hand the pain of trying to lose weight with less money. Between the Herbalife-style products being marketed to you by that one aunt, to the infomercials with the weird exercise equipment that doesn't work and cost your $60 savings on your birthday, to knowing the $40/mo for a gym would be impossible on your budget, to not walking outside because that's how your one friend got mugged, it felt like you tried a million things to lose weight.

Now that I'm doing financially better, I'm testing out cheap fitness bands and programs along with CICO (and a food scale) to see what poor people would be more likely to try, since I have that experience from my past.

What they need first:

• Food scale ($20 for bare minimum scale in a dept store)
  
  
  
• Showing them where/how to get decent to good running shoes, by showing them seasonal sales. (FILA shoes in my area run $20-25/avg). Keeping it simple, since everyone knows how to walk.
  
  
  
• MyFitnessPal for calories ($0, I pick this one for a reason)
  
  
  Then they need some apps or gadgety things to make them feel like they bought something to get ahead. Or the free equivalents. I'm going by android apps since I don't know any poor people who could afford any sort of iPhone.
  
  
  Google Fit app ($0)
  
  Pros:
  
  
• Free.
  
  
• Quick download - No wait like you would have buying a fitness tracker online.
  
  
• Tracks steps in the background, no need to open up to track.
  
  
• Syncs with MFP to give calories (Add app, then set as Step tracking source)
  
  
• Auto-tracking can pick up bouts of running, biking, and walking, with maps.
  
  
• Shows you what percent of people you were more active than in your area. (You were 99% more active than people in LA last week, with 123,000 step count)
  
  Cons:
  
  
• Your auto-tracked path won't show up until 30 mins later, Google Fit needs time to "think" about your GPS path.
  
  
• Calorie timing shows to your timezone in your timeline, but calories seem to be pushed based on Google HQ time (PST). So if you are east coast, you get your 9pm-midnight calories put into the next day.
  
  
  Xiaomi Band 1s ($22.99, can be found cheaper on Gearbest if you can wait)
  
  Pros:
  
  
• Heart rate and step counter for dirt cheap
  
  
• Shows step progress to your goal if you lift your hand up.
  
  
• Has SMS, phone, app, etc alerts available to buzz at you to check your phone.
  
  
• Has a wake-up alarm.
  
  
• Can make some feel like they "moved up" since they now have a fitness tracker "like everyone else."
  
  
  Cons:
  
  
• No screen display, just 3 LED lights
  
  
• Overcounts a bit. Lower your exercise calorie consumption to 30-50% rather than 50-75% because of this
  
  
• App display is simpler than Fitbit's.
  
  
• Heart rate is on demand. You can get a $2.49 app called Mi-Band Tools that can let you set heart rate, specific vibration app alerts, and even a smart alarm. It works with all Mi Bands.
  
  Wokamon($0)
  
  Pros:
  
  
• Tamagotchi-type game where steps give you XP to raise alien critters.
  
  
• Syncs with Fitbit.
  
  
• Syncs with Google Fit (and through that, Mi Bands)
  
  
• Free
  
  Cons:
  
  
• No online discussion community, so you'll have to figure out the little parts of the game yourself.
  
  
  I'll test one more one day, which is the Xiaomi Band 2. Looks like it'd be a good "cheap" Fitbit Charge HR replacement with an actual screen on it. I didn't pick it first since its non-sale price is around $40, and that's a huge amount for the super-poor. Might be good for someone starting around black Friday when it goes down below $25, though.
  
  
  Its taken me so many months to research and try all this but it was worth it. Now I have a back-up plan if times ever get tough again. And I can show others that don't have much cash how to lose weight and get active without a gym membership. :)

It’s a wearable device that pairs with your phone
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5BTX8L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dwWWCb61CXQVD

Se posso darti un suggerimento potresti investire 20 euri in un Mi Band 2 che oltre ad inviarti le notifiche ha anche la sveglia (ti vibra il polso).

Probably Xiaomi Mi Band 3 (I own the previous model) or Huawei Smart band 2 (I own it)

Both have heart rate and last for 20days to a month!.

You don't call them watches, cause are thin, but do the job pretty well!

I use the Mi Band 2 and I love it.

It uses the Mi Fit app which you can sync with Google Fit. It's like 25 bucks! You can also buy different bands for it. I highly recommend it.

Not a bad deal at all, though I'd still lean towards paying $10 more for the Vivosmart HR+ and its built-in GPS.

This stretches around the gotcha and holds it perfectly. I have large wrists and it fits great, albeit on the last hole. Been using it for months!

Its an unofficial device that mimics the Pokemon Go Plus except instead of just alerting you about pokemon and pokestops it can actually grab them automatically. Theres also a manual mode that acts just like a regular Go Plus, but the main feature is the auto mode.

JRE crashed this link for over a week.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07111CVJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_76QSBbSWEWGZX

I had looked into it during the sober october podcast and pretty quickly determined it was a piece of shit. Who knows, maybe the pressure JRE put on them will inspire some quality improvements.

this or a refurbished fenix 3

Garmin Vivosmart HR+

$99 USD (got mine for $160 CAD)
Waterproof and lasted a full 8 hour Beast before

Garmin Instinct meets these criteria. Easy to read, affordable, lightweight, durable, and recently released (updated sleep tracking / hr sensor, etc).

However, it does lack Vo2 max, not compatible w/ HRM run chest-strap (no advanced running dynamics), and doesn't have advanced mapping.

Seems like most users are satisfied with it. I know I am.

Comes in at $300 new, or around $250 used (like new) on Amazon.

​

Non-Garmin options that come to mind are the Polar Vantage M ($279) or COROS Apex 46mm ($350)

Amazon has the same deal right now:

Done some research into them and the reviews on Amazon are only 3.5 stars on average - are they really worth it? I'll pick one up if so... saves me having to learn to solder!

I got some bands for the Misfit Shine based on a review on Reddit. They're great, and connect to the GoPlus with its clip on. I have one band around my steering wheel, and can move it around as I like. They're comfy, too.

There is a 3rd party device called gotcha that is apparently better than the go+. It doesn't have the software hiccups the go+ does apparently although the game thinks it is a go+.

This one seems good according to reviews 🤓

This one looks decent, and a good price!

For others that were also curious, the Feenix is $450 (Feenix 3 on Amazon). However, there are other models that look like they have colored displays which can run up to $700

Was it maybe the fitness tracker?

https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Wristband-Multi-Sport-Waterproof-Black/dp/B074PFG5V3/

Viviosmart HR is the only one I kow of thats comparable:

https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-v%C3%ADvosmart-Regular-Activity-Tracker/dp/B01DOJDR4O/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1473668565&sr=1-1&keywords=vivosmart+hr+plus

It's a Band 2 Pro!

There's a newer generation too but I haven't used it personally. I've been incredibly pleased with the performance and durability of this one though.

I got it last March, fell into a binge mode around July and left it in a drawer until the last week of September, and the charging time /battery life don't seem affected at all. It's been swimming in chlorinated pools, winged against counters more times than I can count, and let drain to 0% on too many occasions and the little beast only has a bit of wear on the inside of the wrist to show for all that.

I'm 6'3 and 215 lbs and I think the Fenix 3 is a bit too big for me, so I'd probably go for a smaller watch if I were you. Do you have any store nearby where you can look at the watches? Because a GPS watch is going to be really big compared to a regular fitness band.

If you don't need the triathlon features of the Fenix 3 then I'd definitely go with something like this instead, it's a bit cheaper and weighs less than half as much as the Fenix 3 and you can probably find an even better deal if you look around at other sites. The battery life won't be quite as long but that's just the tradeoff you have to do with getting a smaller watch, and it still lasts for more than a week without charging if you don't do GPS tracking activities often.

Bro wtf - https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-vivosmart-Regular-Activity-Tracker/dp/B01DOJDR4O/

It's only $75 now, ($129 for the same thing in black, which is stupid but eh).

I'm gonna 'gift' this one to my younger brother.

Physical device that you link just like the go plus. DATEL Pokemon Go Gotcha Wrist Band for Iphone/Android https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5BTX8L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XiC1DbVNGEVCK

Considering you can buy a certified refurbished 235 from Garmin themselves on Amazon (link) for 208$, I would say it's not an awful deal but if you weren't planning on buying one anyway I wouldn't necessarily pull the trigger for that one.

Really? havent heard of it. Ill check it out now! thanks. Sounds like a great price.

This One yeah?

You didn't mention the Garmin Forerunner 235, but it's at a cheaper pricepoint and came with everything I wanted besides the music, which admittedly if that's a big deal for you it could be worth the extra cost. For me I often run with a buddy or have my phone so I can call someone as a "just in case" option

Anyway you can get good refurb deals on the 235 at amazon (~$170). I figured if I got good mileage (heh) out of this one I'd be happy to upgrade later, and I liked the look a lot more than just the 35. At the cheaper pricepoint I'm also happy to buy more accessories, like say the HR monitor

I just bought mine from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/DATEL-Pokemon-Gotcha-Iphone-Android/dp/B06Y5BTX8L/

Probably the Mi Band.

I can personally back up all the suggestions on the DC rainmaker article. The easiest and cheapest solution would be to try the Polar heart rate strap, which you can buy without their HR monitor.

I had the Garmin soft heart rate stap and both my wife and I had massive problems in the winter. We changed to the Polar stap and had 0 issues after that: http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Soft-Strap-Medium-XX-Large/dp/B007XCLU66?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

DC Rainmaker also suggests using electrode gel if you have issues, I found it helped when using the garmin HR stap, but because the polar resolved our HR reporting issues we haven't really used it.

If you are looking to replace your HR monitor, and are using a Garmin watch, my wife and I have had success with the new Garmin HRM-Tri, which is made of a different material than the soft heart rate straps. There is also a model strictly for running that is slightly cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-HRM-Run-Black-Red-Size/dp/B01708T7NA/ref=sr_1_11?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1462547828&sr=1-11&keywords=garmin+hr+monitor

Xoami Mi Band 3 for about $28

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DG3P996/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8aKADbSMZ6J3P

Basic gotcha gets the job done for least investment. Its the first model that has 99% of features new models have. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5BTX8L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HY-wDbVK5FF7X)
The Ranger is basically an upgraded model from the same brand which has a bigger battery with the same feature set. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FNXQPZK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mG-wDb9AE5S88)
Dual catchmon is from a different company and allows multiple connections at the same time. Great for playing with friends or with multiple accounts. Also is the most expensive one. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PHJJD3Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RI-wDbZJ2P45R)
I personally have the basic gotcha and love it. Battery lasts a few hours but charges in five minutes. I would consider getting the dual catchmon for the multi account functionality.

I have this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Datel-Go-Tcha-LED-Touch-Wristband-Pok%C3%A9mon-Alternative/dp/B06Y5BTX8L/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Go-tcha+Datel&qid=1562602865&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Look at the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 or 3 or at the Fitbit Flex 2. They are lightweight. Look like a wristband and will sync your notifications with Android.

Especially if you get it refurbished.

Get a o2 sensor and monitor your levels - something like this: https://www.amazon.com/BodiMetrics-Vibe-Sleep-Fitness-Monitor/dp/B01N6FUNNG). This can substantiate the sleep study, but if it doesn't.... Some of the newer CPAP-Bi-Pap machines actually need no "adjusting" as they auto-adjust, negating a sleep clinic for that.

​

See whats happening to your body first. Just because no apenia, does not mean your lacking o2 when sleeping (I have both apenia and a lower resting o2 level - and low T)

I've been happy with the Huawei Band 2 Pro for less than $70. It has a smart alarm, plus 5 event alarms.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PFG5V3/

A better version of the go plus
DATEL Pokemon Go Gotcha Wrist Band for Iphone/Android https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5BTX8L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.8mCCbTGF7QFM

Yep. I got a polar belt. The H10.

A refurbished 235 would do the trick without breaking the bank. I got mine 18 months ago and it's been awesome.

This. Myzone MZ-3 tracker. Evidently not the cheapest version of fitness tracker.

I have been thinking about getting some kind of tool that gives me a better idea of calories burned than what the treadmill says! Is your Polar HRM similar to this one? If so, I'm curious to know if it slips down while you're working out?

I have hearing loss and I found that "Xiaomi Mi Band" works quite well. The software is very good and you can set-up multiple alarms. The way you choose. The vibration is strong enough to wake-up the person. Best yet: it will not disturb your husband/wife.


I use the version 2 but today you have the version 3 already:


https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Waterproof-Smartband-Touchpad-Wristbands/dp/B07DG3P996/ref=sr_1_2?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1550778810&sr=1-2&keywords=mi+band+3

I have a Fenix 5. Expensive, but mainly got it for appearance, not extra features.

Basic features are used the most... HR monitoring during the day, GPS data during runs... A chest strap during all my runs. I think most watches will give you that.

I do like the VO2 Max calcs (it's nice to get an indication of progress even if it fluctuates). Those exist on most watches. Lactate threshold data is interesting but I don't know how trustworthy it is. You have to start spending some money to get lactate threshold data. The recovery adviser and all that stuff is also interesting. It's a little nice to have a watch that gives you ideas on how you are doing. Is it gospel, no, absolutely not (hot weather runs will make you seem out of shape). It's all interesting.

Honestly, you have some budget, I'd get whatever watch fits that budget best and not worry about the features. There's always more features out there but honestly the basic ones are really the most useful.

For a bargain, I'd look at the refurbished Garmin Forerunner 235 for $200 or so on Amazon.

> If your bluetooth is taken by headphones you cant use other bluetooth devices, fitness traker or something

Not true. You definitely can have multiple Bluetooth connections at the same time.

I have an iPhone 7

I have a Griffin iTripClip which I use with my own earbuds

In the car I have an Anker SoundSync Drive which streams audio into my aux-in port

On my wrist I have a MiBand 2 fitness tracker which also does notifications.

The fitness tracker is connected 24/7 (it has a battery life of about 18 days) and I can happily connect any of the audio devices at the same time with no problems, and the fitness tracker always remains connected (e.g. notifications always come through) when I'm also streaming audio over Bluetooth.

Regarding the dongles, I rarely use mine so I can't comment on lifespan. However my iPhone 5 lasted me 4 years and I was still using the original Lightning cable at the very end - and it wasn't frayed or anything. Generally speaking if you look after your stuff it will last. Abuse it and it won't last.

Garmin HRM Run with Running Dynamics. Great on a compatible watch for the extra data.
Garmin 010-10997-12 HRM-Run Heart Rate Monitor Strap, (Red/Black) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01708T7NA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ib.NBb9ZP1Y7S

Get one of these. It's extremely cheap and well supported and does exactly what you're looking for and more. It pops off the band like this and it has 30+ day battery life.

I replaced the standard band with this and have been super happy! Plus, colors!

Amazon has it for $299 as well if your local BB is sold out.

Pretty cheap in UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Datel-Go-Tcha-LED-Touch-Wristband-Pok%C3%A9mon-Alternative/dp/B06Y5BTX8L

Yeah, I don't really buy anything fancy for myself and I had money saved up so I said screw it, haha. Most expensive thing I own. Is this more in your budget? It doesn't have seconds on the watch face in the pictures and you need those for EMS. I'd wear this while working out/off duty and just wear a cheap Casio for work. Sorry to hear about the issue with the cardiologist. If that's the case, if you're in a decent shape I don't think the test with the county will be an issue.

The distance tracking is fantastic on the watch. If you own a Nintendo Switch, and wear your Apple Watch, it will count the movements with the controller as steps, gaining you egg distance. Two hours of playing Arms on the Switch hatched every single egg I had in incubators, to include some 10Ks.

Separately, the Apple Watch really pairs well with Apple Maps. It will make a ding noise and vibrate once in concert with apple maps when you need to make a turn. I love this feature!

With regards to the iPhone 6, it will play Pokemon Go just fine, but I would recommend a used iPhone 6s simply to get the better processor and force touch.

To be honest, I would get a better phone and a [Pokemon Gotcha] (https://www.amazon.com/DATEL-Pokémon-Wristband-iPhone-Android/dp/B06Y5BTX8L) for now. You can have it set up to auto spin poke stops, and / or auto catch Pokemon. Once you see how well it works you'll use it a lot more than your watch for distance.
And then save up for a nice Apple Watch a little later. (buy nice looking Apple Watch bands from amazon priced at 6-7 bucks rather than from Apple for way too much!)

Is there a way to see what "version" of HRM-RUN you are buying? It is my understanding it has minor updates yearly?

For example, can you tell which year this is?

Sorry tot the rick roll answered it.

I have this . It’s not a real Fitbit but does a great job for $30. It doesn’t link up with MFP but will show me calories burned in its own app called “VeryFitPro”. The most calories burned I ever had is when I worked at Amazon and was walking like 30,000 steps a day. But besides when I walked THAT much I agree, burning 2000 calories is a lot in a sedentary day

What PDF were you looking at? (I'm on my phone at the moment and I'm not seeing it.)

I picked mine up sold by Amazon.

So I'd always be confident in their returns and customer service (especially warranty support). When it comes to CodeJunkies direct I'd always be a bit hesitant for the messing about that you potentially could face when Amazon is a known quantity. Also after the cost of postage for me it worked out cheaper.

Actually Garmin VIVO Fit HR+ is only $119. Built in GPS, waterproof, ...

I have not found one that links to a PC

My wife uses the garmin vivofit - synched to an ipad.

I use this low cost one

I also sync to her ipad.

The best way to block connections from your syncing device (android or ios) is with a host file on your router or pi-hole.

I also have both the garmin software and the my tracker blocked from accessing location data.
