Getting in shape – and staying in shape – isn’t always easy, right? But it certainly helps to have something that can keep track of the things you can’t when you work out. Things like the number of steps you take, the calories you burn, the miles you travel, and even the quality of your sleep! Those are all things that a great fitness band or tracker can monitor, and that’s a compelling reason to invest in one.
So we’ve put together a list of Amazon’s best fitness bands. You don’t have to sort through hundreds of different dizzying options online; just scroll down and see the best of the best. In no time, you’ll be able to make sure your workouts are as effective as they can be, and you’ll be feeling great!
Fitbit Charge 4 Special Edition Fitness and Activity Tracker
Who hasn’t heard of a Fitbit? This special edition fitness tracker band comes equipped with a built-in GPS, so you can see your pace and distance on screen, along with a workout intensity map that shows your heart rate changes along your route during walks, runs, and more.
Fitbit Versa 2 Health and Fitness Smartwatch
Smart watches are all the rage, and this one, again from Fitbit, not only tracks your fitness but also uses Amazon’s Alexa. That means you can use it to get quick news and information, check the weather, set timers and alarms, control your smart home devices, and more, all through the sound of your voice.
Garmin VÃvosport
This fitness tracker band includes fitness monitoring tools such as Vo2 Max and fitness made estimates. And it’s not just for working out: all-day stress tracking helps you stay in touch with your body’s response to potential stressors, so you can keep your stress in check.
Garmin Forerunner 35
The Garmin Forerunner has built-in GPS to acquire satellites quickly, tracking how far and fast you run in addition to where, even under tree cover. You don’t need your phone at all!
Fitbit Alta HR
This is Fitbit’s slimmest design yet, and it’ll still give you all the fitness data you want. You can use it to track your continuous heart rate in workouts and beyond, which in turn allows you to better track calorie burn, and use zones (Fat Burn, Cardio, and Peak) to find the right workout intensity for your goals.
Apple Watch Series 3
Much like Fitbit, there aren’t many people who haven’t heard of the Apple Watch! This is way more than just a fitness tracker, though: you can make calls, store music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and more from this device. It’s also waterproof and comes with an optical heart sensor. Cool, right?
Garmin 010-02064-00 Instinct
Here’s a more rugged-looking fitness tracker watch for outdoor use, built to withstand the toughest environments. Constructed to U.S. Military standard, this tracker also has thermal, shock and water resistance! It connects to compatible smartphones, providing you automatic data uploads to the Garmin connect online fitness community.
Fitbit Inspire HR Heart Rate and Fitness Tracker
This Fitbit fitness tracker has a crazy amount of positive ratings – over 30,000! It tracks all-day activity, including steps, distance, hourly activity, active minutes and calories burned. You can also get more insights into your sleep stages, as it automatically tracks your sleep.
Garmin Forerunner 735XT
This multipart watch estimates heart rate at the wrist and provides advanced dynamics for running, cycling and swimming. That includes ground contact time balance, stride length, vertical ratio, and more – which is totally awesome and so specific!
Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker
Finally, the Fitbit Charge 3 allows you to access 15-plus exercise modes like run, bike, swim, yoga, circuit training and more. With those features, you’ll be able to set goals, and get real-time stats during your workouts to see how you can keep getting better! Your progress will never end, and isn’t that the goal?
