TomTom
In addition to tracking your steps, sleep and heart rate, TomTom Touch fitness trackers also measure your body fat and muscle mass percentage, helping you to achieve your goal of becoming fitter, leaner or stronger.
Heart Rate Monitor
A heart rate monitor tends to feature on the more up-market activity trackers, aimed at those who take their sport and exercise seriously. A heart rate monitor will help you more accurately track your performance and health.
Battery Life
The standard fitness tracker tends to offer around a few days’ worth of battery life before requiring charging again. Depending on how important battery life is to you, there are devices out there with battery life reaching 6 months to 1 year.
Water Resistant/Splash Proof
Water resistance varies across devices, with some only being ‘splash proof’. Most are fine with going in the shower but if you are a keen swimmer then look for a fitness tracker that offers proper water resistance.
Display
Depending on how much motivation you require, display may be important. Trackers like the Jawbone range and Fitbit Flex offer little in the way if displays, so if you want to have instant access to stats opt for a device with a more intuitive display such as the Samsung Gear Fit or Fitbit Surge.
Sleep Tracking
Sleep tracking has become a fairly standard feature in fitness trackers, but if it is important to you, you may wish to check out devices that track automatically as some require switching to sleep mode to enable tracking.
Smartphone Compatibility
If you intend to sync up your fitness tracker to your smartphone, be sure to check compatibility first. The majority of fitness trackers are compatible with Android and iOS but some lesser known models may not be supported.
Apps
Generally speaking, if there’s a fitness tracker, there’s an app. Each app vastly varies according to device, so if you are big on data you may wish to choose your device based on how in-depth the supported apps are.
GPS
For the most accurate of fitness tracking, a tracker that features GPS is a must. Whilst standard trackers are moderately accurate with distances covered and speeds, the results can often be inconsistent. If you are looking to improve your stats, accurate data is essential so a fitness tracker with GPS will help you monitor improvements in distances, speed and more.
