Are there any fitness trackers that can track calories burned from swimming?

    I like my garmin vivosmart hr. There are other, more expensive, trackers that cater to swimming better, just depends on your budget.

    This will be my first fitness tracker. I'm thinking $150 or less.

    Really, you're looking at either Garmin or Misfit. There are others, but none as good. You could get a refurb or NOS(New old Stock) garmin Vivoactive 1 for ABOUT $100.

    Garmin sounds like it'll be your best bet. I just did a cursory search and it seems like there are more options now from when I bought my vivosmart HR 3 years ago (I still use it, btw, it's great).

    Thank you, this helps me narrow it down alot. Up till now I've been very confused with all of the options.

    I've been very happy with my Apple Watch -- Series 2 and 3 are waterproof. But definitely not matching the price point that you're looking for.
