Samsung Gear Fit 2 ProSamsung comes in a close second placeScreen: Yes, 1.5-inch AMOLED | Heart rate tracker: Yes | Waterproof: Yes |
Activity tracking: Yes | GPS: Yes, through phone | Battery life: 3 days | Compatibility: Android/iOS Awesome design Offline Spotify
support  Clumsy setup processor  Expensive for fitness tracker  The Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro hasn't made hefty changes to the company's
wearable line since the Gear Fit 2, but there are a few improvements to an already great tracker that sits it in second place.The Gear Fit 2
Pro has a gorgeous design that looks fantastic on your wrist and as it's sporting a big, beautiful AMOLED display you'll be able to see all
of your stats nice and clearly.It also comes with GPS built-in so you can leave your phone at home while you go for a run as well as a
top-notch heart rate sensor that should give you one of the most accurate readings possible from a wrist based tracker
Plus it will track your swimming too.Read the full Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro review3
Garmin Vivosmart 3Garmin drops GPS but comes in at third placeScreen: Yes, Monochrome | Heart rate tracker: Yes | Waterproof:
Water-resistant | Activity tracking: Yes | GPS: Yes | Battery life: 6 days | Compatibility: Android/iOSSix day battery lifeGPS and heart
rate monitorDesign is lackingData could have more depthIn third place is the Garmin Vivosmart 3, which is on the more expensive side of the
fitness trackers listed but offers almost everything you'll want from an exercise tracker.With a six-day long battery life, a heart rate
monitor and fitness age feature, this is a device created more for gym-goers than runners.The Vivosmart HR+, the device Garmin released
before this tracker, came with GPS built-in but this newer version has dropped the feature and it's a big shame for anyone who wanted to
take this watch running.Even so, you should definitely consider the Garmin Vivosmart 3, especially if you're looking for a band that can do
high-end fitness tracking with an almost week long battery.Read the full Garmin Vivosmart 3 review4
Huawei Band 2 ProA slim, capable wearable with impressive battery lifeScreen: Yes | Heart rate tracker: Yes | Waterproof: Yes | Activity
tracking: Yes | GPS: Yes | Battery life: 21 days standby | Compatibility: Android/iOS Reasonable price  Accurate step counting  Clunky
app  Lacks innovative design In fourth place is the Huawei Band 2 Pro
a sleek little fitness tracker that manages to pack a decent amount of features into its diminutive frame, and for an impressively small
amount of money. The Band 2 Pro has heart rate monitoring, VO2 max, GPS, step and sleep tracking and a seriously impressive battery life
The slim screen means that this tracker will work just as well with running gear as it will with a business suit, although the slim screen
isn’t going to be as easy to read as some of the competition.If you’re looking for a device that’s going to give you totally precise
metrics, this isn’t it
But if you want an affordable entry-level device for your first foray into the world of fitness tracking, this is a great place to
start.Read our Huawei Band 2 Pro review4
Polar M430A running watch with all-round fitness skillsScreen: Yes, Monochrome | Heart rate tracker: Yes | Waterproof: Yes | Activity
tracking: Yes | GPS: Yes | Battery life: 20 days | Compatibility: Android/iOS Good battery life  Reliable and accurate  Not the best
looking  Annoying charging lead The Polar M430 has a lot of things going for it, including GPS, a heart rate monitor and sleep tracking
skills, along with good battery life
For the most part it’s also reliable and accurate, which is something not all fitness trackers can claim.The M430 is designed primarily
for runners, and can monitor the likes of your pace, distance, speed and cadence, but with all of the above, plus daily general activity
tracking, it’s a strong choice for tracking most kinds of exercise and activity.Given all the tech packed in, the Polar M430 also has a
reasonable price tag
It’s not the best-looking fitness tracker, but it’s comfortable and functional.Read the full Polar M430 review5

Water-resistant | Activity tracking: Yes | GPS: Yes | Battery life: 7 days | Compatibility: Android/iOSSmall for GPS tracker Good battery
lifeBland design No swim modesIt's not as stylish as most of the Fitbit products, but the reason the Garmin Vivosport appears in this list
before products from the latter company. This is cheaper than most Fitbit products but it comes with GPS built-in and offers a solid seven
days battery life from a single charge.Although it's waterproof, it wont' track your swimming easily but the Vivosport excels for other
kinds of workouts and is great for tracking your jogging and cycling.Read our full Garmin Vivosport review6

It's more expensive than some of the other options from Fitbit, but if you're looking to go jogging this is a great choice that won't cost
you as much as a traditional running watch.It connects with the GPS on your phone, has a large screen to display your data, a heart rate
tracker and new fitness features we've only previously seen on the Fitbit Blaze.It may not be the cheapest device on the list, but this is
the best Fitbit tracker money can buy.Read the full Fitbit Charge 2 reviewBuy now for AED 7657

You'll likely like the look of the Fitbit Blaze - it's one of the best fitness watches on the planet. The first tracking watch from Fitbit
is a strange looking device, but suits a lot of people and comes with automatic fitness tracking features that make it possible to just jump
into an exercise and wait for the results to roll in right away.With good battery life and a plethora of extra features compared to most
other Fitbit devices, this may be the best tracker for you.Read the full Fitbit Blaze reviewBuy now for AED 1,049beA7Ysj4ymL2VgDrXBeBjj.jpg#
