I am shopping for a tracker but need help on which one. I want one that is accurate, wearable and not in black. I am really liking the vivofit 2 and the polar. Any suggestions?

    You may be waiting a looooooong time lol. They were "supposed" to be released last December but they keep putting the release date off.

    Well you are in luck. The Polar products come in colors. The Loop comes in Blue, Purple and Black, the M400 comes in black and white, the A300 comes in many colors. I would advise against fitbit or many of the others as they are not waterproof. The Polar products above are waterproof to about 60ft. Fitbits are not. As for accuracy Polar is very accurate especially when paired with a chest strap hrm. I have the Loop and M400 so if you want my opinion on either of those drop me a line. You visit this site http://www.dcrainmaker.com/ and see all of his reviews and so far he is the most unbiased of the reviewers I have seen. Depending on what you are doing you should look at the Loop or the A300 unless you need a device with gps to map your walks/rides then you want the M400 or V800.

    I have a Fitbit One to track my steps. I love it, and if you have friends with Fitbits, you can challenge each other, which is very motivating.
    I also have a Polar FT4 with a chest strap HRM for cardio. I really like it as well.

    I recently got the Fitbit Charge, whilst it is my first tracker I find it very easy to use. There are a few confusing bits on the dashboard e.g. Weight in stone shows as Stone / Pounds but on the Dashboard Weight Loss Progress is shown as % of a Stone lost = 5.7lb being .4st, which was abit confusing at first. but it syncs nicely with MFP and gives me an all round overview and additional motivation.

    I like my Garmin Vivofit. Can't say how accurate any of them are, but I like that it keeps me motivated to do better.
