Fitness devices

really depends on what your looking for. is HR important? just want to count steps? need GPS? whats your budget? many questions come to mind.

a device like a step tracker or something?
I just retired my Fitbit. I had ti a long time and it wouldn't charge anymore and I was kind of over it. I recommend them though. They are good for figuring out how active you really are. I realized I'm way more active than I gave myself credit for being.

I'm wanting to buy a device but before i do I'd like some reviews which are best

There is a wide variety of trackers, for a wide variety of users. Different price levels give you different bells & whistles. It all depends upon what you want it to do.

FitBits (one popular brand) ranges from $59 - $249

I chose a FitBit One because my cardio is step based. So the calorie counter is close enough. Nothing counts strength training. I like that it tracks sleep, and because it's not worn on the wrist it doesn't count steps for arm movements. Discreet and clips to my bra.

Here's a link to the FitBit group to give you some more ideas: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

Do you want it waterproof/sweatproof, or not?

If so, look at the Garmin lines.

Do you want a heavy social interaction?

If so, look at the Fitbit lines.

Are you going to use it just to track steps to use with caloric intake goals?

If so, look at the fitbit lines.

Are you going to use it to track things like runs? Cycling?
Runs only, Garmin/Tom Tom/Polar lines. Cycling? Garmin. Multi-sport? Garmin.

Do you want Smartwatch features?
If so, Garmin's Vivoactive takes top position here. Fitbit's notifications have much to be desired.

Pretty much all of them have the alarm feature and sleep tracking. The Vivoactive has an always-on display, and it's battery beats the pants off of the Fitbit lines (My wife charges her Charge HR every other day). The HRM on the devices is pointless (IMO) as it's horribly inaccurate, but it is better than nothing, I suppose.
