Your wrist can be the key to staying healthier and on track with your fitness goals if you wrap the right fitness tracker around it. They help you understand what’s happening with your body and even support you in building a consistent habit, which is often half the battle when trying to be more active. There are a plethora of options out there, but some of the best can be found on Amazon. We’ve rounded up some of the best from top brands like Fitbit and Apple, but other more affordable options that still give you all the bells and whistles you expect.

Amazon

$185

Fitbit Versa 2

With built-in Alexa capability, heart rate tracking, step tracking, Spotify integration, and 6-day battery life, you’re getting a lot in a small package. Long story short, this fitness tracker does more for you. If you need any questions answered about your fitness levels or sleep health, this will answer them. It’s a Scouted favorite too, with contributor Catherine Renton saying, “It’s simple to set up and when the Charge 2 arrived I had it charged up and fully operational within an hour.”

Fitbit Charge 4

This is the fitness tracker I personally use and I think it’s great. It’s “is a super-sleek wrist watch that has such a slim profile, I often forget it’s even there. It tracks everything, including my heart rate, calories burned, distance traveled, and time spent exercising. It also has built-in GPS to track outdoor workouts, and has sleep tracking to ensure I’m getting the rest I deserve."

$33

Xiaomi Mi Band 4

This affordable band has heart rate and activity tracking plus a built-in GPS. It also comes with six different workout modes and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. If you’re not interested in getting distracted by text updates and other notifications from your phone so you can focus purely on activity, this is a good choice.

Lintelek Smart Watch

Steps, distance, calories-burned, and sleep status are just a few features on this watch. It’s water-resistant and can even connect to your phone for easy access to message and call reminders, your music, and more. Aesthetically, this looks a lot like the Apple Watch — without the price tag.

Apple Watch Series 5

The Apple Watch is more than a fitness watch, but the new features make it a powerful fitness tracker too. It’s swim-proof and now features an ECG app, heart sensors, and fall detection. You can choose from two different sizes to better fit your wrist. Brands like Nike have even made their training apps easy to use through the Apple Watch, so it’s like you have a personal trainer on your wrist.

Garmin Vivosport

This watch keeps track of your stress, heart rate and more. Plus, it has GPS so you can track your routes and review them on the app. Plus, it automatically updates your data to Garmin Connect so you can track your progress.

Amazfit Bip

This Apple Watch Doppelganger boasts 45 days of battery life, bluetooth connectivity to receive texts and phone calls, heart rate tracking, and a band that is sweat proof. That’s pretty important — you can exercise without worrying about ruining your tracker.
