Built-in GPS and specific tracking modes for individual activities lead an impressive feature list…
Garmin’s new GPS-enabled fitness tracker is loaded with features including an oddly-named “suffer score” that tells you just how hard you exercised. The Forerunner 735XT is now the top-of-the-line model in the company’s lineup. Naturally, it has a price to match. For $450, this wearable better do it all…
This morning, Garmin announced a new addition to its line of popular fitness trackers. The vívomove is unlike its siblings in that it sports a much more traditional design. There would be no fault in confusing it with a normal analog watch. Garmin is hoping to appeal to a whole different subset of potential users with this classic look. With prices starting at $149, vívomove has the potential to be a hot item this Christmas.

Despite wearing a Moto 360 with fitness tracking features for the past year, I continued to use a Fitbit on a daily basis. A fitness tracker from the San Francisco-based company has been on my body for the better part of the last four years, and in February, Fitbit announced a fashion-oriented fitness band called the Alta that particularly caught my eye. I had to give it a shot.
After just a week of usage, the $130 retail Fitbit Alta has completely replaced my full featured Android Wear device and I’ve come to realize that less is more. At least for me, the Alta has proven — and this has been echoed many times over at 9to5Google — that the fundamental features of actionable notifications and apps on a smartwatch are a convenience that can easily be lived without.
Update (2/29 3:00pm): Amazon has now matched the price.
Best Buy’s Official eBay Store offers the Microsoft Band 2 Activity Tracker for $174.99 shipped. Also available direct and at the Microsoft Store. This activity tracker originally retailed for $250, goes for around $215 at Amazon and our previous mention was $200.
Look, we get it. Fitness trackers. Smart watches. Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Android Wear. A hundred different names for as many products. While nearly every aspect of fitness has been covered in this arena, wearables still have a long way to go in terms of style. If you’re a fan of traditional watch brands but want the fitness tracking aspect, you’re options are limited. Either succumb to wearing two devices at once or miss out on recording activity in your day.
Popular watchmaker Victronix and Acer have a plan to solve this quandary with the new Swiss Army INOX Cyber Tool. This small “smart accessory” clips on to an INOX watch and converts it to a fitness tracker and smartphone companion. To our surprise, the execution in early mock-ups looks spot on. Head below for a full gallery and more details.
Update (11/16 5:00pm): Neweggflash offers the Fitbit Flex in multiple colors for $59.99 with free shipping. Activity trackers provide great motivation for getting off the couch.

Garmin has announced three new Forerunner wearables to its line-up of fitness trackers. But this isn’t like the previous generation models from Garmin.

Timex is taking another stab at fitness tracking. After releasing its One+ GPS fitness tracker a little over a year ago, the popular watchmaker is back with a new smart timepiece. The Metropolitan+ removes all the excess of Timex’s previously released tracker in favor of a classic design focused on long-lasting battery life. It will have all the looks and functions of a traditional analog watch with Bluetooth connectivity added in.
Even better, you’ll be able to avoid the overly technical look of some smartwatches with this model. Making it a perfect pair for more formal events.
Most fitness trackers offer similar features, such as heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and step counting. It is simply becoming more difficult for companies to separate themselves from competitors as new models are constantly being released.

It’s a crowded world for those in the wearable and fitness tracking industry. Now with Apple breathing down the neck of the competition, it is key for these companies to find a way to stand out. Up and comer Atlas is beginning to detail its new Wristband, which offers a number of interesting features. This uniquely designed fitness tracker has one standout feature, the ability to recognize and track different workout activities using a proprietary algorithm. Not just, swimming versus running, but butterfly versus backstroke. Or push-ups versus triangle push-ups.
The design is fairly unique too, think Pebble Watch meets Nike Fuelband.
Announced only last month, the activity tracker can guide you to get fit, lose weight and have fun doing it. It tracks steps, exercise, overall calories burned, hours slept and quality of sleep.

The Jawbone Up is compatible with iOS and Android and requires installation of free Jawbone UP smartphone app.

Also it lets you get instant notifications of emails, SMS, incoming calls, and 3rd party apps to keep you connected.
It’s the #1 best selling smartwatch on Amazon where it also received good reviews from shoppers.
The UP wristband plugs into your phone via the Simple Sync connector to help you learn how you sleep, move and eat. UP provides unique insights to help you live each day better than the last.
If you want to go completely wireless you’ll need to step-up into a Jawbone UP24 or Fitbit Flex/Force. If you do end up buying a Fitbit be sure to grab it from Best Buy because you can save an additional $30 when purchased with an Aria WiFi scale. Or if you just want the scale pick it up from Amazon at 10% off.
