    I'm a bit of a gadget / tech nerd.

    I use a fitbit daily for tracking steps and sleep and I use a Garmin 610 as a heart rate monitor for Cardio at the Gym. (But not at the same time :) ).

    Fitbit is good because it Syncs with MFP.
    Garmin has to sync with run keeper then run keeper syncs with MFP.

    Hope that helps

    Depends what you really want out of it (objectives).

    I have a FitBit One, previously had the Ultra. Its pretty good for walking and running but not so good for tracking other activities such as any type of weight training or strength training or whatever. I love mine and love that it syncs with MFP. Definitely works for me!
