Fitness Trackers

A fitness tracker can be a great tool whether you’re trying to lose weight, increase your activity, or get ready for a 5k run. They can keep track of your activity, monitor your heart rate, count steps, and give you reminders and encouragement when you would much rather take the day off. 

To get you on the fitness fast track, we've rounded up the latest and most popular fitness trackers of 2019, and they can all be purchased US sales tax-free and shipped internationally with MyUS!

Garmin vívosport $133.98 

Garmin vívosport fitness tracker

If you're a runner, check out Garmin's popular vívosport fitness tracker. Among other great features, like Vo2 Max and fitness made estimates, it has a built-in GPS that gives you the ability to easily track running and cycling sessions without having to use your phone. It even has all-day stress tracking to help you stay in touch with your body’s response to potential stressors, which we think is pretty awesome. 

"Best fitness watch I’ve had so far," says Bill A in his five-star review.

Garmin vívofit 4 $68.83

Garmin vívofit 4 fitness tracker

Don't want to spend a lot? The Garmin vívofit 4 offers the most functionality you can find in a low-cost fitness tracker, tracking steps, distance and calories burned. It also monitors sleep, provides personalized daily step goals, and even lets you know if you've been stationary for too long–not bad for under 70 US dollars!

"I love the VivoFit 4. It’s even better than it’s predecessor the VivoFit 3. The band fastens like a watch and I no longer have to worry about it falling off. The display is even easier to read than before. Pairs easily with my iPhone and the Connect app keeps getting better as well. And it’s waterproof and I wear it swimming." says Mary S Schwartzenberger in her product review. 

Fitbit Versa 2 $199.09

Fitbit's Versa 2 can help you reach your health and fitness goals by tracking not only your heart rate, steps, and distance, but also calories burned, hourly activity, active minutes, and even floors climbed! And with built-in Alexa, you can also get quick news and information, check the weather, set timers or alarms, control your smart home devices and more–all through the sound of your voice! 

"Very happy with this smartwatch/fitness tracker. If you are looking for a fitness tracker that has incredible battery life, a fantastic app, and sleep tracking there is no better product on the market. I think it is nice that it also includes some of the essential smartwatch features like messages on your wrist and connectivity to control Spotify. The Alexa integration is also a nice bonus feature." says FullSpeedFWD in their product review. 

Apple Watch 5 $384

Apple Watch 5 in white

The Apple Watch 5 is Apple's latest release of their super popular smartwatch, and it has a ton of features that fitness enthusiasts will love. Just to list a few of these features, the Apple Watch 5 includes electrical and optical heart sensors, a built-in compass, emergency SOS, fall detection, and advanced metrics for every level of athlete. For more personalization, choose from 3 color options and two band sizes.

"Everything about this watch is wonderful. I went from the series one to this one (series five). There’s a major difference in speed as there should be. Very comfortable. Comes with 2 bands, charger cube and cord. I bought a protective case for the watch face since I’ll be using my watch while I work. Absolutely No complaints about this watch." says T.J. W. in their five-star review.

Apple Watch Series 3 $199

Apple Watch Series 3 in white

For a ton of great Apple Watch features at a much smaller price, we suggest sticking with the Apple Watch 3. While it has a smaller watch face and doesn't have a few of the newest bells and whistles like the second-generation optical heart sensor or fall detection, it's swim-proof, tracks your workouts, pairs wirelessly with compatible gym equipment, and has fitness rings for standing, moving, and exercising goals to help keep you active and motivated. 

"I bought the Apple Watch for fitness tracking. It is THE thing at my gym. I went from a Fitbit to this and wow! I think the tracking is way more accurate. I’ve been one of those that rolled my eyes at this watch because who really needs this right? I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I love this and how have I lived without it?" says velvetrider in their product review. 

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active $194.99

Samsung Galaxy Watch Active in rose gold

Track your way to real results with Samsung's Galaxy Watch Active! Thin, light, durable, and swim-ready, it automatically detects up to six exercises. It does all this while tracking up to 39 more exercises right from your wrist, helps you analyze sleep patterns for better rest, and even sends you real-time alerts if it detects a low or high heart rate so you can adjust accordingly. Available in black, rose gold, or green.

"I've had this watch for almost a month and this watch is fantastic! On average I use about 25% of the battery life with the heart rate monitor set to occasionally monitor. I charge during my nightly shower and it is fully charged within 15-20 minutes. The step counter seems to be right on the money. It syncs with the app seamlessly which has always been an issue with fitbit and Samsung phones. " says Erin Alkinburgh in her glowing review. 

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Smart Fitness Band $177.84 - $124.99

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro in diamond red

The Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro Smart Fitness Band has a sporty look and several Under Armour apps that count miles, track nutrition, and help you keep your goals at the front of your mind. Throw in GPS and heart rate tracking, as well as a stand-alone music player, and it's easy to see why it's one of Samsung's most popular fitness trackers!

"This tracker does more than I'd imagined and the automatic tracking of different items is impressive. It calculates floors walled up and down, differences in elevation as you walk and much more. Of course it does the normal things: steps taken, active minutes, heart rate. It knows the difference between a walking pace and running or jogging. When paired with the Samsung Health program it helps you improve your wellbeing. You can start a workout of your choice and it will track everything for you." says T Pray in their product review.

Fitbit Charge 3 $139.99

Fitbit Charge 3 in rose gold and blue grey

The Fitbit Charge 3 is incredibly popular because it has a well-rounded list of features. Some of these features include a new sleep tracking functionality, SpO2 heart rate sensor, large screen, smartphone notifications, and waterproof design for tracking your swimming goals. 

"I have been waiting for a tracker that has as many features as this has: water resistant, sleep tracker, pulse taker (mine is within 1-2 beats per minute from my Dr's office!!) step tracker, it synchs with my food tracker, plus it does the weather, connects to my phone and will even remind me once and hour to get up and move!" says graceie in her glowing review.
