We don't really agree with the "new year, new you" mottos that are rolled out around this time of year, but we do know that we're keen to feel a little healthier after the onslaught of Christmas.
Whether you’re a fan of jogging, swimming or an energetic boxing session, there’s no doubt that working out has major benefits for our health, our body and our mood.
Just how much of a difference it makes, or how effective our workouts are though, isn’t always measurable - unless, of course, you have a fitness tracker.
These smart gadgets used to only belong on the wrists of athletes, but now anyone can use them to keep track of exactly what’s going on when we exercise.
Whether you’re working towards a specific goal, wanting to make the most of a workout or keen to use it to make adjustments to your exercise regime, a fitness tracker is a brilliant and easy way of staying informed and motivated.
The problem is, with so many out there, which one do you choose?
Well, we’ve handpicked the best selection of top-rated fitness tracking watches at the moment. Whatever your budget or your bigger goals, you’ll find one to fit your lifestyle here.
The best fitness trackers for any budget

With a battery life of 1+ year and an always-on colour display, the Garmin Vivofit 4 Fitness Band is ready to work out when you are (and probably when you aren’t too!). You can track your steps, your distance as well as calories burned or how much sleep you’ve had. The screen is much smaller than others on this list but it delivers key information simply and can be supplemented using the app.
Huawei Band 3 Pro | £34.17 from Amazon
Huawei are known for their state-of-the-art technology, which is why we’re so pleasantly surprised that this fitness tracker comes in at under £50. With a precision heart rate monitoring system, an easy-to-read screen and up to 12 days of battery life, this is certainly a fitness tracker that will keep powering through as you do.
Honor Band 5 Fitness Tracker | £29.99 from Argos

Fitbit Versa 2 | £109 from Amazon
Perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing on the list, this Fitbit fitness tracker is more than just a pretty (clock) face. It boasts a built-in Alexa, smartphone notifications, music, exercise programmes and a six-day battery life. In short, it’s a personal trainer on your wrist - it just can’t shout at you if you skip your burpees.
Fitbit Charge 3 Advanced Fitness Tracker | £163.99 from Amazon
The display is bigger and clearer than a lot of other fitness trackers on this list, and while there is no GPS there is a full fitness suite including a heart rate tracker. It’s lightweight on your wrist, looks slick and is a lot more affordable than other Fitbit models.
Samsung Galaxy 46mm Smart Watch | £279 from Argos
If you’re not a fan of the touchscreen aesthetic and want something that looks more traditional, take a look a this Samsung design. The watch can track up to 40 different exercises, as well as your heart rate, health stats, nutritional goals and the calories. It also has built-in GPS, so you can follow your route on a run.
