Leave the phone (which is most likely not waterproof) at home and enjoy every run and hike a little more. Since it’s built-in, you can track your routes without being connected to your cell phone. Keep an eye on your progress outdoors using the built-in GPS system. Since it is fully waterproof, you can keep tabs on your swimming habits on top of everything else. Change the sport setting to track the intensity of other workouts, such as golfing, biking, and running. The Garmin Vivoactive will measure your step count, distance, speed, and stairs climbed. The heart rate tracker will work even when submerged in water. Though we do not suggest wearing this watch while scuba diving (the pressure would be bad for it), we can confidently tell you that it is built to handle showers, rain, swimming pools, and so on. Part of its durability and strength is evident in the fact that this watch is completely waterproof. In the case of the Vivoactive 3, they build a sturdy device (with the latest type of Gorilla Glass) that flawlessly connects with your other devices – and it still feels and looks like a normal watch. They know the importance of having a device that will not fail you when you need it most and which will withstand the elements. From GPS trackers to sonar devices and even autopilot controls for airplanes, Garmin has always built quality tools and accessories. Garmin is a company known for the integrity with which they build their various products. What makes it worth this price, though, is its overall quality. Near the top end of the price range among these watches and fitness trackers, most people would expect this one to have almost as many functions and abilities as our top options (such as the Fitbit Surge, Fitbit Blaze, and Apple Smart Watch). However, these features alone don’t really justify its cost. While it does not have features like guided breathing or idle alerts, it does have a large touch display that can be set to different watch faces, tracking abilities for several different sports, and last but certainly not least, is fully waterproof. When comparing this watch to the others we’ve chosen to review, it’s easy to see that it falls somewhere in the middle in terms of capability. Though it does not store music like Samsung Gear Fit2, you can control the music on your connected device using this watch. A whole week is still plenty, though, and allows you to get through a lot before having to charge it up again.Īlso worth noting is the fact that this device will track your sleep habits and tell you about incoming texts and phone calls.
It doesn’t really hold a candle to options like the Garmin Vivoactive, which can last up to 21 days.
Seven days of battery life lands it squarely in the average range among the others on this list. Though others like the Fitbit Charge 2 and Blaze can keep tabs on your location when linked with your phone (or another compatible device) by Bluetooth, this is the only one which can do it all on its own, which is perfect for people who don’t want to fuss with carrying a cell phone while they work out. This is the only Fitbit on our list that has built-in GPS tracking, which comes in handy when you lose it and helps to map out your actual running, walking, or cycling routes. You can even use the app to communicate and challenge your friends to meet workout goals. You can also use the Fitbit app to track your water intake, calorie consumption, dietary balance, and much more. To help you stay in shape, this watch will count the calories you’ve burned, the distance you’ve traveled, and, unlike the FitBit Alta, Charge 2 and Blaze, will count the number of stairs you climb. This one will also keep track of various kinds of exercise, from cycling to running and many other calorie-burning activities. In fact, the only other Fitbits with this ability (the Charge 2, Alta HR, and Blaze) are also listed on this page. With the Fitbit Surge, you can have both in one package.įew Fitbits actually have the ability to measure your heart rate – it’s just not something these handy devices automatically come with, since they are primarily step counters. Whether you are tracking your heart rate to know when you’re in the perfect fat-burning zone or are worried about entering dangerous territory while exercising, there is no need to purchase a heart rate monitor and a dedicated fitness tracker separately.
