Halfway through the year, it’s time to reignite the debate: What are the best fitness trackers on the market for the Tattersalls members?
The AD Team have selected (in their opinion) the best fitness accessories on the market and detail the benefits of each piece.
THE FITBIT CHARGE 6
The Fitbit Charge has long been among the most value-rich fitness trackers.
It offers 40 sports profiles and a feature that lets you send your heart rate via Bluetooth to gym equipment.
In addition, a 5ATM water-resistance rating, multi-day battery life, a built-in GPS, sensors to monitor key overnight health metrics, and support for on-demand ECG heart health.
It’s primarily for fitness and health tracking.
Its companion app clearly displays your data and can be customised to highlight metrics related to your goal.
Who It’s For
With ample tools for monitoring your activity and health, key lifestyle features, and a fantastic companion app, the Charge 6 is the best standalone fitness tracker for most people.
APPLE WATCH SERIES 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 offers a broad suite of built-in fitness, health, and safety tools.
This generation adds water depth and temperature sensors.
While many wrist-based optical heart rate trackers exhibit a slight lag when detecting rapid pulse change during workouts, Apple Watches tend to be spot on.
Its Activity, Exercise, and Stand rings can help motivate you to get moving.
It goes beyond the basics with a multisport tracking option for triathletes and advanced running metrics such as real-time power, stride length, ground contact time, and vertical oscillation.
On the health front, it accurately tracks your activity, body temperature deviations.
The Series 10 can alert you if it detects a high or low heart rate, irregular heart rhythm
Who It’s For
The Apple Watch Series 10 is best for iPhone users in search of a capable fitness tracker with excellent connectivity features.
It’s a particularly excellent choice for runners, swimmers, and cyclists. Its wrist-based running power measurements help you gauge your effort in real-time.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2, strongly appeals to outdoor adventurers, endurance athletes, and ocean enthusiasts.
OURA RING 4
The Oura Ring 4 is a stylish and comfortable smart ring that discreetly measures your activity, sleep, and stress from its position on your finger. With smaller and more accurate sensors than its predecessor, it tracks blood oxygen, heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate.
It can track 40 different types of exercises, movement throughout the day, sleep duration and stages, and stress levels.
The ring’s polished companion app charts metrics like cardiovascular age, sleep regularity, and more over time, making it easy to spot trends.
Who It’s For
The Oura Ring 4 is the best finger-based fitness tracker. It is a top choice if you need help reducing stress and improving your sleep. The Oura Ring 4 also offers basic exercise tracking, but it’s not as detailed as many wrist-based options, like the Fitbit Charge 6 if you’re primarily interested in activity insights.
For holistic health monitoring, however, the Oura Ring 4 is tough to beat.
