Fitness tracker with watch?

shortiequinn

I'm wondering if there were any cheap ($100) fitness trackers that had a time display. I currently have a jawbone up but will need to wear a watch at work. I don't want to wear both cause that's just silly. I also don't want to spend a ton of money on features I won't use (HR monitor/caller ID etc).

Any ideas?

I just got my Vivofit2 for $99. It is nice that it does double duty and is a watch too. It isn't the fanciest tracker out there. I'm like you and don't want to wear multiple bands, but also don't care about all of those extras.

Great. Thanks. I'll look into it.

Fitbit has a couple of lower-end models that don't have as many features as their expensive line.

I have a Garmin Vivosmart and LOVE it! You can get one for around $109 for the band and around $149 with a heart rate strap. You can also get any ANT+ heart rate strap later if you just want the band. I did a lot of research before I got it and have friends and family with fitbits, Mio, Jawbones, etc. and I'm glad I went with the Vivosmart. It has a watch but it doesn't display unless you look at it so it just looks like a band on your arm. It's also the only band, besides the Vivofit, that I know of that is waterproof. I've got a buddy who had a Fitbit. It quit working because he was running and it started raining so of course it got really wet. Fitbit wouldn't warranty it because it got wet.

There are a lot of fitness bands out there now so make sure you do your research and figure out how you will use it and what features you need before purchasing one.

Ditto. I have had my Vivosmart for about three weeks now and I love it. I did not need that chest strap as I had one from my Forerunner. From shopping around the Vivofit was definitely below $100 at every place I looked.

The cheapest Fitbit wristband with a time display is the Charge, which is US$130.
