    I'm pretty half with my Garmin Vivofit. It is completely waterproof and syncs with a heart rate monitor chest strap.

    I've used the Garmin Vivofit 2 on and off for a few months now. It's waterproof so you don't have to worry about it getting wet, and the battery lasts a whole year so there is no need to charge it. Only thing I hate right now and the reason I'm not using it is the Garmin Connect App update is a mess, imho. I don't like the dark theme and the info is just all over the place, unlike the Fitbit App.

    I have the Garmin Vivosmart. Besides charging it once a week I never take it off.

    I had the Fitbit Flex and loved it and it's water proof. I just got the Fitbit Surge and love it so far, but it's only water resistant.

    That is what I was thinking about getting and Iam a dog bather so I prefer completely waterproof and the fact it's compatible with this app.

    Well, I just gave three of my four furbabies baths last week with it on! Lol. And I switched from the Polar Loop to Garmin because of it's incompatibility and I have zero complaints. I add the chest strap during my workouts.

    What activities do you do and what data points do you hope to track?

    Those pesky little things get asked so rarely before people present a list of devices which may, or may not, fit your needs.

    For about the last three weeks I have been using the MisFit Shine 'Speedo', it has been very accurate in tracking my sleep and how many lengths I do in the pool. Only downside is it won't tell me until I sync with my computer.

    I've been holding out for the Garmin Fenix Sapphire to add an integrated HRM, that is my dream fitness tracker!

    I just got the new Polar A360 and so far I'm happy with it. Optical HR Monitor overall is pretty accurate so far and does a great job quickly picking up changes in HR. I use it for CrossFit.

    I use Garmin Fenix Sapphire and has very happy with it, if you're actively participating in sports or workout almost daily, I highly recommend it. Although for general fitness tracking, fitbit seems to be very well regarded.

    One aspect of fitness tracking hasn't been mentioned is muscle quality and fat %, since pure weight tracking is quite inaccurate indicator of fitness. I recently acquired Skulpt Aim and it has proven to be useful in tracking my muscle gain and made me more aware of my muscle imbalance. They have the new version called Chisel that's cheaper than the Aim and having a indiegogo campaign right now. worth checking out. http://igg.me/at/uLqNn5x13vw/x/12810140
