Garmin has just introduced the best activity tracker yet - the Garmin Vivofit. It ranks much better than the Fitbit. See the reviews here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/03/garmin-vivofit-review.html
Can't wait to get mine!0 -
I've been thinking of getting a tracker for a while - but my main activities are swimming and cycling. do any of you have trackers that can reliably record swimming?0

What about the new Garmin Vivofit? It's waterproof and does all the things the fitbit does0

the spec says water resistant though , not waterproof - so no swimming0 -
Well according to them it is waterproof. I was considering for swimming but it says the HRM doesn't transmit in water. It's from this:

thanks for the link - I looked at http://sites.garmin.com/vivo/ where it just says "water resistant" twice then going back to check after your post i found the small print at hte bottom of hte page saying that water resistant =50m
as this usually meant that it's a pressure resistance rather than actual depth
which confirms what you found, that it's 5atm, which is better than the usual0 -
If you want something waterproof or you can wear for water workouts or swimming, the Polar FT7 is waterproof. You just have to not hit any buttons on it while it is under water though. I have had one since Sept 2013 and use it in the pool all the time with no issues. Works great on land and in water. It does have a chest strap but doesn't bother me at all.0

Is the Amiigo even available yet?
I can see nowhere selling it online.0 -
I've had the same fitbit for about two years. I think it's called 'Ultra'. They don't even sell it anymore, which is too bad. When it goes, I'm going to replace it with a flex, because I've been really satisfied with this product!0

Hv a fitbit one which i love. But always scared of losing it, not being waterproof, always patting where i put it, in my bra, strange looks sometimes lol. Just got a polar loop, waterproof, does all i need and also gives the time so i dont have to wear a watch.0
