I have a Jawbone Up Move which I clip to my waist band. I am debating whether or not to buy a wrist band tracker. If I change I quite like the Garmin Vivofit as can be worn swimming. I don't do enough exercise and want mainly increase my step count so I am not worried about heart rate monitor. I sometimes use a walking stick when walking and not sure if this would affect a wristband tracker? My Up Move doesn't always track steps had it over a year now.
Should I stick with what I I have or get a wristband tracker and if so what one don't want to spend more that £100
Thanks in advance

    don't know anthing about Jawbone or Garmin, I have polar and you can go swimming with most of them the only thing is you have to wear the chest band. The newest one is the A360 where you have a choice weather or not tho wear the chest band but it is more than 100 bucks. Good luck.

    If you're not concerned with heart rate and if you don't mind having to plug it in to a computer to sync a Forerunner 25 would work well. If you don't use the GPS feature on your walks the battery will last about a month before you'd have to recharge. It's also water resistant to 50 meters depth.
