I'm looking to buy a fitness tracker for myself for my birthday next month. I'd like something I wear on my wrist, with a heart rate monitor and keeps tabs on me during my sleep. I'd also like to be able to wear it in the water as I do a lot of lap swimming during the week. I also am on a budget-I really don't want to spend more than $100-$125 on one. What are my options??
How do I know if I need a large one or a small one? I don't have a smart phone but do have a laptop.

I've have a Charge HR. Bout' $200 CDN. It does monitor sleep but not waterproof. You can sync it on your laptop if you don't have a smart phone.0

Sounds like for $20 more you can get a Garmin VivoSmart HR if you want it to read HR on the wrist. With a HR chest strap, you can probably get an older model. Most Garmins are water proof and I never take mine off for swimming. I don't think it counts the laps for you though.0

VivoActive on sale will meet all your requirements except for wrist HR, but will work with a chest strap (which is more accurate) for exercises when you need one. It has a swim mode, too.0

i am very happy with mine and it is pretty accurate
What ever you buy all trackers are estimations, you have to learn to work with them and learn to know them. I know that mine is a bit off by how many %. This because i calculated my own data.
This is for all trackers. It are nice tools to work with and when you are consistent you see the overall red line in it
