Should You Buy a Fitness Tracker?

The Problem with Fitness Trackers

Having worn many fitness trackers over the past decade I have come to conclusion that maybe we don't need them?
In this video I share how I track my fitness data using my phone for free, so you can decide wether a fitness tracker is right for you.

So what tracker should I review next? :P

The point about data influencing you how you feel is spot on! I tried a Garmin smartwatch and they have this "body battery" that creates a number from some measurements/data points. It gave me more stress and anxiety than anything good. It was a vicious cycle. I really felt like a "battery" and not a human being. Worst feature ever. So I returned it.

You are so right !! Everything about this video makes sense

I usually walk 6 miles a day dog walking, so hit my step count; more if I’ve done a run. I turned off Garmin’s notifications for prompts to move, step challenges it automatically entered me in and other annoying media notifications. There’s functions on it I don’t understand or need, like body battery. Think I’m too much of a simpleton for a smart watch 😂

Honestly, I love my Amazfit GTS. It is a few years old now and the battery is starting to show signs of going (I have to charge it twice a week whereas it used to be once about every 10 days). It is just so useful. Yes, it counts my steps, calories and sleep but I can also check the time and weather at a glance, which I love. Aside from the time I think the most used feature, for me, is the alarm and the light. The bands are garbage though. I go through a three pack a year of cheap amazon replacements.

Anyway, I've tried to go back to a regular watch but I can't. I like having the weather at a glance, lol.

The only thing that is good about any of these devices is the ability to constantly monitor your blood oxygen and heart rate and sleep. In my opinion those three are the only reason to buy them, assuming that you will actually do something if the readings for those are unsatisfactory.

My Fitbit died in less than a year. Any experience with Healbe .
