Hi, can anyone recommend an activity tracker wristband? For example fitbit etc, I don't want to spend too much but would like a more accurate way of tracking the calories I am burning during excersize, any help would be appreciated, p.s. I am in the UK.
Thanks

    I have a Garmin Vivosmart with a chest strap HR monitor. Any tracker you use is going to be pretty close but it is still not going to be exact. The wrist based HR monitors, in my opinion, are not very accurate at tracking exercise calories but are okay for normal day to day activities. A chest strap monitor is going to be more accurate but still not perfect.
