    You could always look on Amazon & read some of the reviews. Fitbit & Jawbone both have new ones coming out soon.

    What kind of activity do you do? As you read reviews, you will see that it makes a difference. For example, you wear the Jawbone on you wrist, so it only counts if your arm is moving. If you are pushing a stroller or carrying something in your arms, it won't count accurately. None of them will work for swimming or weight lifting, and probably not cycling (not sure about that last one).

    I'm waiting for the Jawbone Up3. I would recommend waiting for that or one of the new Fitbits with the HR monitoring. They are all coming out within the next month or so, and have a great deal more technology and functionality than the first gen trackers.
