Fitness trackers are like having the digital equivalent of a personal trainer on your wrist or finger. They count your steps, measure your heart rate, track your sleep and even remind you to get up off the couch when you've been sitting too long.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, these gadgets can help you stay on track and reach your goals. We’ve shortlisted some fitness trackers that will help make your workouts more engaging.
Amazfit Bip 3 Pro (S$119; Usual Price: S$139; 14% off)

This budget-friendly tracker features built-in GPS and a battery of up to 14 days, making this a good choice for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget. It's water-resistant up to 5 ATMs (50m), so you can take it for a swim, and it offers over 140 sports modes. However, some reviews have found that its heart rate tracking can be finicky, especially at the start of workouts.
Pros: Affordable, built-in GPS, good battery life, water resistant
Cons: Finicky heart-rate tracking
Fitbit Charge 6 (S$179.90; Usual Price: S$231; 22% off)

The Fitbit Charge 6 tracks a variety of metrics from heart rate to blood glucose, and offers in-app workouts for every mood. Its readiness score helps you decide when to push hard or take it easy. It offers battery life of up to 7 days. Some reviews find its GPS flaky and heart rate accuracy might be an issue if the strap isn’t tight enough.
Pros: Health metrics, in-app workouts, readiness score, Up to 7 days of battery life
Cons: Occasionally unreliable GPS, no altimeter, strap needs to be properly adjusted for accurate heart rate tracking
Garmin Lily 2 (S$379)

This device’s slim and chic design aesthetic is ideal for small wrists. It offers accurate heart rate tracking and additional sport modes like dancing. It offers battery life of up to five days, though it lacks built-in GPS and only has a greyscale display.
Pros: Slim, chic designa, accurate heart rate tracking, up to five days of battery life.
Cons: No built-in GPS, greyscale display
Apple Watch Series 10 (S$436 - S$487)

Featuring a thinner case and bigger screen than the previous model, this device is a solid choice if you’re invested in the Apple ecosystem. It tracks sleep apnea and provides voice isolation on calls, though it requires daily charging.
Pros: Wide-angle OLED screen, sleep apnea tracking, voice isolation on calls
Cons: Still needs daily charging
Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (S$448 - S$598)

This fitness tracker offers AI-powered health insights, accurate heart rate measurements, in-depth sleep monitoring and responsive touch and gesture controls. However, its one-day battery life means you'll need to charge it daily, and its running distance tracking can be slightly inaccurate.
Pros: Accurate heart rate measurements, in-depth sleep monitoring, AI health insights offer personalised guidance, responsive touch and gesture controls
Cons: One-day battery life, occasionally inaccurate running distance
Samsung Galaxy Ring (S$538)

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is crafted from lightweight titanium and is available in nine sizes and three colours: black, silver and gold. It has a 10ATM (100m), IP68 water resistance rating.

This is a good option for users who want a bit of everything and don’t want to charge their device daily.
