What is everyone’s favorite fitness tracker? Looking for something to track heart rate, steps, and activity alerts but also sync with MFP so I can keep all the information in one place. Suggestions?

    Fitbit HR is my favorite a cheaper versions Very Fit Pro fitness trackers they connect with Google which will connect to MFP. If nothing else check their sync apps and shop from there. Great Luck!

    Garmin.

    Don't worry about the integrated HRM though. They're still a work in progress as far as estimating daily calorie burn.

    I have a Garmin Vivofit HR and love it. Love it way more than I did my Fitbit

    I've been looking into them and I have decided to go with a Fitbit Charge 2. They're about $150 USD but there are cheaper ones

    Garmin Vivoactive HR, here. Syncs automatically and flawlessly w/MFP. Battery lasts 4-5 days between charges, and I wear it around the clock.

    Garmin 935. Wore an Apple Watch every day for two years, like the Garmin much better.

    If I were going for a lower price point without quite as many bells and whistles, it would be the Garmin Vívoactive 3.

    Fitbit Charge 2 HR is rubbish - the charger makes the glass face crack. Has happened to 2 of them on me, and Fitbit won't cover it as cracked screens aren't covered by their warranty even though it's clearly a design flaw :'( so anything other than that!

    Another Garmin user here, loved my Vivosmart HR although recently upgraded to a Fenix for multi-sport capabilities as well as the other data and info it provides. It was a toss-up between that and the vivoactive3 and my heart won over my wallet!

    Garmin Connect syncs really well with MFP and it's a 2-way link so when you're in GC you see the calorie totals from MFP. I also set my weight to sync from GC to MFP and that way I ensure everything's using the same personal info too.

    Same. Just subscribed to the FITIV Pro ($10/year) and love all the data and visuals... of course, I am kind of a nerd so it appeals to me.
