CNET Top 5 - Best fitness trackers

Wearable tech that will inspire you to get in shape.

I really am pleased with this watch. The other features were a bonus. It sometimes disconnects from Bluetooth but it has been in water and still going strong. I have only had to charge it twice wearing it just about every day.

I'd say Microsoft Band was worth mentioning too because in its class, the Band is comparable with WP, Ios and Android, it also  has a pretty solid battery and some kind of useful sensors

A notable exclusion here is the Withings Activité watch which is probably one of the best watch / fitness tracker devices out there.

Nike still makes the fuelband and it's great.

The Withings Pulse o2 was actually the first fitness tracker I tried.  I need one with a HRM because I do more lifting than cardio.  I liked it but I ended up returning it because the HRM is inconvenient to use being on the back of the device and doesn't work very well.  It does fine with resting heart rate but freaks out when your heart rate is elevated.  Plus I think ANY fitness tracker that isn't waterproof is ridiculous.  Having to take the thing off to wash your hands defeats the purpose of these things which is to wear them 24/7.  Now I am going back and forth between the Polar Loop and the Garmin Vivosmart.  Both do some things very well but neither of them do everything right.

Delirious for thinking the smart watches will be under $200?

The LG G watch has already been said to come out at $180?

A previous cnet video showed how crappy the withings was. Compared to an ekg it was over 50 bpm off, not to mention you have to take it off whatever and put your finger on it?? Plus no 24/7 hr monitor??? I went ms band have not been disappointed.

What is that thing whizzing past the screen in the background at 2:45?!

Can't wait for the first Wearable tracker that detects STDs :) can you imagine the possibilities?

[sdseals]

Damned, I got the Nike Fuelband and I got a rash.

I have no idea why the Polar Loop wasn't mentioned.. it's never failed me... i can track how my workouts are going since i can use my h7 with it.. a feature none of those have.. and it has its own trainer if you purchase it on the polar beat app.. meh.. guess its just a cheap promo for all the rest of the shitty activity trackers.. btw the fitbit flex is horrible.. gave it back once i noticed that its much more expensive than the loop and it doesn't accurately track your steps since it thinks you're walking when you're in a car

Xiomi MI band lasts a good 40 to 45 days records your calories burnt walks runs deep sleep light sleep and even tells you your ranking among the other mi fit users worldwide

Shine is not iso only they updated it!! OMG, update your knowledge. 

[AllexRadu]

Basis should've been the best in this list, the so-called "no1" only tracks your heart rate when you remember and it looks like crap, basis does it every 5 sec.

[asmcriminaL]

sooo where is the 'bodymedia fit" The bodymedia fit is STILL THE MOST ACCURATE but none of these videos that display "fitness trackers" never show it.

[MuyenKamrannehal]

Why would ANYONE spend ALL of that MONEY on a FITNESS TRACKER. U don't need a fitness tracker to stay fit.

[painpeace]

In Western countries, anything can be sell under High price... 😅

[TigOlBitties]

[Young_Travels]

Horrible, just horrible. Replace this joker...or whoever is doing the "research" for him...

I will buy a smartwatch once it can send and receive cellular messages and last just as long as a phone. It will happen. So I say, three to five years from now, smart watches will be worn for phone and notification capabilities and people will look stupid holding up their wrist to their ear to talk. Tablet and phablets use will rise. Phones that are smaller than a phablets will decline and eventually be redundant. Sigh...the future...we are perhaps there. But I haven't seen holograms yet. When I see hologram advertisements everywhere, then the future has arrived. Forget flying cars, it will never happen, at least not in this century.
