They still track your daily steps (don\u2019t fret!), but they also monitor your sleep, measure your vitals, and more. If you\u2019re looking into getting a fitness tracker, you\u2019ll know that there are many options in this up-and-coming market, so we\u2019re here to make this easier. From those who just want to track their general health to serious athletes training for marathons, there\u2019s something for everyone. \u00a0Fitbit Charge 4Features:Built-in GPSTracks your steps, heart rate, and sleepTracks blood oxygenSpotify ControllerWorkout tracking modes7-day battery lifeFitbit PayWaterproofNo color screenNotification supportCompatibility: Android\/iOS\/WindowsBest for: people living an active lifestyle looking for all-day fitness tracking and those who want to keep a close eye on their health.The Fitbit Charge 4 is sleek and packs a punch with a bevy of features. Most options on the market boast similar features, but what makes this tracker ahead of the game is the GPS function, which offers accurate tracking of your runs and bike rides (so you can leave that phone at home!). It also boasts an SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen, which is definitely not something you find in every tracker in the market. A new feature included in this iteration, Active Zone Minutes, measures any activity faster than a brisk walk. Think of it as a simple heart rate monitor function \u2013 it encourages you to spend time at different levels of exertion, taking into account your age and fitness level. It also tracks and tags data from 20 different sports and is swim-proof \u2013 for someone who enjoys a variety of activities and ways to keep fit, this is for you. \u00a0Xiaomi Mi Band 4Features:Tracks heart rate, steps, and sleepNFC enabled for contactless paymentsWaterproof + swim trackingColor screen20-day battery lifeCompatibility: Android\/iOSConnected GPSBest for: people looking for a budget-friendly option that covers all the bases.As of writing this, the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 has been released globally, but not enough reviews have been done on it thus far \u2013 I\u2019ll be talking about both in this section.\u00a0 This fitness tracker tracks basic things like steps and sleep automatically, and sports a 0.95-inch color AMOLED touchscreen display with 120 x 140 resolution. It can also track activities like running and cycling, but with a helping hand from your phone\u2019s GPS. Fitness buffs will love the heart rate monitor functions as well as the 20-day battery life.\u00a0 The Mi Band 5 takes this up a notch with a bigger 1.1-inch AMOLED display with 126×294 resolution. With new features including 11 dedicated sport tracking profiles, enhanced sleep tracking, stress, and breathing features, Xiaomi is definitely leveling the field. For women, it also comes with female cycle tracking. \u00a0Garmin Vivosmart 4Features:Impressive sleep tracking functionsPulse oximeterHeart rate monitorAutomatic exercise detection\u00a0Rep counting for gym exercisesStep tracking7-day battery lifeWaterproofCompatibility: Android\/iOSBest for: non-serious athletes who want cool features.While Garmin\u2019s other products tend to cater to serious athletes, this slim number is meant for everyday folk trying to keep fit, with a suite of interesting features to enhance the experience.\u00a0 One of the coolest things about this tracker is a feature called body battery, which measures the amount of energy you have and helps you learn the best times to exercise based off of that data.\u00a0 Equipped with Garmin\u2019s Move IQ software, you won\u2019t have to worry about losing count of reps done when lifting, and with automatic exercise detection, you\u2019ll never have to manually start a session again. Also coming with a pulse oximeter, this tracker can measure your blood oxygen levels through the night, making it able to detect sleep apnea. \u00a0Garmin VivosportFeatures:Built-in GPSHeart rate tracker7 day battery lifeNotification supportWater-resistantAdvanced heart metricsCompatibility: Android\/iOSBest for: runners and cyclists who want function over fashion.With both a heart rate tracker and an built-in GPS function, the Garmin Vivosport is by far the best option for outdoor athletes, runners, and cyclists.\u00a0 The best part? Even when using GPS features, the 7-day battery life from a single charge holds true. While water resistant up to 5ATM (50m), we don\u2019t recommend using this for pool workouts as the tracker doesn\u2019t come with a swim mode. With a small screen, you also won\u2019t be able to see your live stats unless you squint. Despite being older than the other options on this page, its quality still holds true \u2013 it tracks metrics such as heart rate variability stress scores, your resting heart rate, fitness age estimates, as well as VO2 Max. This article first appeared on Reflect Fitness."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Tech Gadgets","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/tech-gadgets\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Best Fitness Trackers of 2020","item":"https:\/\/thehomeground.asia\/tech-gadgets\/the-best-fitness-trackers-of-2020\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
