I'm looking for a new activity tracker. I have the Bodymedia Core now, but the strap broke. I like it, but since Bodymedia was taken over by Jawbone, they don't replace anything.

So what do you all use? My price cap is around $150-$200CDN. TIA.

    I am using the Polar M400 with the Polar H7 Heart Rate Sensor (which I bought separately). I have been very pleased with it thus far. I got it off Amazon new for $110.00. Right now, I believe the prime option is about $136.00

    Not very tech savvy TM... so not quite sure what kind of tracker you mean but I use the Runkeeper app on my phone.... probably not much help but it's all I got LOL (and my reply will bump your topic for others to see LOL) :)

    This. I had a Microsoft Band and got tired of my HR being so far off during workouts. I picked up the M400 and H& HR strap about a month ago and LOVE it. You should be able to get both in a package for the price range you're after. Things I like, not in any order -
    • Great battery life. I can go several weeks without even denting the battery (I don't use the GPS much)
    • Waterproof - never thought that was a big deal, but great to just rinse it off after getting it all sweaty. I could swim with it but don't.
    • Very accurate HR monitor.
    • Comfortable
    • Add only the Sport Profiles (workout routines) you use for HR tracking and customize what information is displayed on up to 8 (I think) screens you can have display workout.
    • Display is very easy to read while working out. I never could read what was displayed on my MS band.
    • GPS tracks your runs or cycles and is very accurate.
    • Set your daily activity goal and you can see how close you are to hitting it
    • Step counter counter of course
    • Sleep tracker knows when you fall asleep, no setting required
    • Calorie burn takes into account your activity and type of sport you are doing
