I am ready to invest in a new tracking device. I previously lost 100lbs using the Bodymedia armband, which I loved and found super accurate and effective when eating at a deficit.

Unfortunately, bodymedia is long gone, but I have noticed a few upper arm tracking devices on Amazon. Yay! Any recommendations on a good one or what is the top rated one these days? Thanks! Pic to give an idea of what I'm talking about.

    What was it that this armband did?

    It would track your hr, calories burned, i think sleep too if I remember correctly.

    Seems like trackers have evolved.
    I’m not sure I would trust an off brand tracker as much as I trust my Apple Watch, which does the things you mentioned and a lot more. Of course that’s for the Apple cultists like myself. 🤪

    Many people swear by Garmin and Fitbit has fans here too. But I don’t use them so I can’t comment on their capabilities. I imagine both companies have many similar features though.
