    I recently purchased my Fitbit Blaze and I really like it, the online community and challenges are very motivating.pgbeh13ryerr.jpg

    I love my TomTom Spark 3...It's waterproof, and tracks almost every workout, I think. I use it for it's GPS feature for running, and have had no issues with it.

    I just upgraded to the Garmin VivoSmart HR. Did not go with the HR+ as GPS tracking.... eh..... So far so good and got it for $63.00 from Amazon as a Refurbished unit:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HFJX7VW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Have the Garmin VivoFit also, pretty nice little tracker, just wanted heart rate on the wrist is why I upgraded. Not a huge workout freak, just using it for tracking steps, mileage, getting heart into a zone, biking etc. Bonus is the stair counter :)

    And links to this app. I use MFP to track calories and to tweak exercises, Garmin Connect for the rest. Something that I noticed also recently is steps are tracking on my phone real time which was pretty cool along with heart rate. For $60, couldn't beat it.

    One set back... battery.... I started using mine on Sunday and noticed that the battery is at 50% today. I contribute it to me tinkering with it for hours getting all the options and what not dialed in.

    The band is a bit small on me also, should have went with a large I think. I'm a dude and used to be pretty slim, could be all the Fat Tire and Cheese Fries :) I'm on the last few notches on the band and it can be a bit tight. I have my eye on new bands that I can buy that will get me to a larger one.

    For GPS without having to carry a phone and water proof tech, I went with Garmin. I had a vivosmart hr+. I later upgraded to vivoactive hr. I'd def definitely recommend either. Give one a shot for a week, take it back to store and try another. That's how I made my decision.

    I use a polar h7 for my workouts and I love it. It's the chest kind which is supposed to be very accurate. You can't wear it all day though so if you want an all day wearable, don't go with the polar.

    I love my Fitbit Charge2. I have this one: amzn.to/2tLJDf0. I had an old Ultra long ago, but this one is far superior. The challenges are nice to use with the phone app.

    I have had a Fitbit Charge twice and each time it was water damaged after 3 months of use. I wanted a fitness tracker that was simple and I didn't have to recharge it and also water proof when I go swimming, wash dishes or take showers. I didn't care for any extra features. I did my research on YouTube and went with Garmin Vivofit 2. It's not too expensive. It's been 1 year 3 months and the battery hasn't died yet. No water damage. When it's time to replace the battery it will cost me like $4. I rarely take it off. It gets the job done. Garmin connect is the app for it and it does a good job showing my steps and accurately estimating my calories burned. I've been losing weight so far.

    I am super happy with my Fitbit Charge 2. It tracks a lot of data and I am surprised by it's accuracy. I love that it tracks sleep and my heart rate. It gives me a lot of reports that I like to look back on. The battery stays charged for a while and it's super comfy to wear. I don't think you'd regret buying one!
