Hey folks,

I am looking to get a fitness tracker.

I have gotten into running and would like something accurate, but I also strength train and practice yoga, so I would like something smaller/more discreet.

Advice?!

Thanking you already!
Elly

    GPS gives most accuracy for running. Nothing is going to track strength training or yoga in a meaningful way.

    Personally I use Garmin devices, so it depends on your budget. Entry level is the VivoActive, further up the food chain is the ForeRunner range.

    Thanks. I have been reading consistently rave reviews for Garmin.

    Check out the DC Rainmaker site for details on each of the watches. I started with the FR10, moved to the 15 when I needed a longer battery life and am expecting the 35 for Christmas so I get even longer battery. I don't do a lot of speedwork or other activities like swimming and biking so the basic watches work well for me. The 15 and 35 have a step counter as well as GPS. The 35 has an optical HR monitor.
