Fitness enthusiasts rejoiced when the wearable technology brought us pedometers for step counting. It made fitness monitoring easier for few and encouraged others to have a fitness goal, to begin with. But the humble pedometer has evolved into an activity tracker and is much more powerful from where they started. Here are some latest generation ‘activity trackers’ that will help you track your movement, count calories and keep track of your heart rate and sleep pattern as well.

For starters, the Gear Fit 2 Pro has a gorgeous design and looks fantastic on the wrist. It features a big, beautiful AMOLED display which lets you see all of your stats nice and clear. It also has a GPS built-in, which enables you to leave your phone at home while you go out for run or a swim. (Yup, it’s water resistant.) It also boasts one of the most accurate readings possible from a wrist-based tracker.

Even though this fitness tracker has heavily borrowed the look of the Apple Watch, we couldn’t discredit it for it. It is packed with tons of features including GPS, an accurate heart rate tracker, multi-sport tracking, sleep tracking and VO2 Max features. It is incredibly lightweight and has a strong battery life that will easily last you a month!

Want to know which one is the best Fitbit in the market right now? This one! It may not be one of the more expensive ones but if you're looking to go jogging this is a great choice that won't cost you as much as a traditional running watches. It has a comfortable strap with a large screen. It also connects with GPS and accurately tracks your heart rate as well.

This is one of the best movement trackers currently. It works with a 9-axis accelerometer; the same is used in missile navigation systems. Thanks to its heavy duty tracker, it can track your daily steps, calories and the other movements as well. Its in-built fitness guide gives you personalised training feedback. Apart from that, it can also measure running impact, gym repetitions, and swimming strokes. Basically, if you like to work out, it’s your workout trainer, attached to you.

The Huawei Band 2 Pro offers a lot of decent features considering its basic price range. (Rs. 4,899) While it does track steps and sleep like your usual pedometer, it also a comes with a heart rate monitor, VO2 Max sensor, GPS for when you're out running and it offers a great good battery life too. However, its slim screen can make responding to notifications and interacting with it rather difficult.

We get it; it’s not the best-looking band on the list. But it’s slim and quite inexpensive – perhaps the most inexpensive on the list. There’s no GPS monitor, but it does track your steps and heart rate and sleep pattern, with a battery life of almost a month. If budget is a huge concern, you can’t do better than the Xiomi Mi Band 3.

If you’re all about the looks, you should consider the Jawbone UP3. You get to pick from plenty of colours and styles for each model. The band has intelligent motion sensing, that tracks sleep, steps, calories burned and other exercises automatically. But it’s the sleep tracking where the Jawbone really shines. So if you’re a fashionista and an insomniac, the Jawbone is for you.
