does anyone use an activity tracker? if so you could please list which one you use. im considering picking up a fitbit charge hr. as ive gotten older its getting harder to maintain my fitness level with work, family etc. getting the most out of my workouts seems like a potential time (and life lol) saver.
currently I run about a half mile 3x a week and walk several miles a day at work outdoors. an activity tracker seems like a good tool to help track my calorie burn and intake etc. I would appreciate any opinions from anyone with feedback.
My company gives a discount on Fitbits (to promote healthy living) so I picked up a Fitbit Blaze. It's fancy enough for daily wear and good enough for when I can be active. I've been pretty inactive due to some pretty persistent ingrown toenails. I think it's worth the money for the recording of statistics if you don't want to do it yourself.
I used a Fitbit HR myself, I want to upgrade to the new model soon. I love it myself but there are a lot of great options depending on what you want out of it specifically.
I use the FitBit tracker and love it. It's nice as my friends also use it so we challenge each other. I have friends that also use the Garmin Vivosmart as well as the Jawbone.
I think its like Forged_Lotus said, what features you want. But I doubt you can go wrong with any of the 3 I mentioned
I looked at buying the charge HR myself for running. What I liked about it was you could track your heart rate all the time whilst the cheaper models didn't have this feature.
But I didn't buy it because it wanted to use it to track my run routes and distance so I didn't have to take my phone with me with the "map my run" app. Unless you're spending upwards off $600NZD no activity tracker has this feature. To me they are an over priced novelty. I will get one in a year or two when GPS is standard in all models.
I have an HR, and it's a good tracker, but it starts to fall apart within about a year of getting it. I'd recommend getting one of the newer models.
I use Fitbit Charge 2 and I'm fairly pleased with it.
