The 7 Best Fitness Trackers You Can Get in the Philippines (2022)
Health is wealth, as the common saying goes. But how do we know if we truly are fit and healthy? That’s quite a challenge, especially if we look fine on the outside but are dying on the inside (literally). Good thing, technologies like fitness trackers have made it easier for us to analyze and record our activities and what’s going on with our body. We don’t have to be in the dark with our fitness goals and we can adjust our lifestyle by simply evaluating the information provided by our tracker’s health reports.
Want to take care of yourself more? Here are the best fitness trackers you can get in Manila!
Fitbit Inspire 3
Fitbit Inspire 3 is one of the best options out there, and for a reason. It has over 20 features that allow you to track your heart rate, breathing rate, and steps, distance, and calories burned. By connecting it to the Fitbit app, you can track changes in your blood oxygen, skin temperature, and more. Although it’s slim and light as air, you don’t have to worry about wear as it’s made of premium silicone that’s similar to sports watches. It’s also water-resistant (up to 50 meters) and can operate between zero and 40 degrees Celsius. What’s more, its battery can last up to 10 days if you fully charge it for two hours!
Get it for P6,290 on Fitbit’s website. If you want something cheaper but still does the job, you can get Inspire 2 instead on their official Lazada and Shopee stores.
Fitbit Charge 5
Fitbit Charge 5 is one of the world’s first electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors in a wearable, along with Fitbit Sense. EDA sensors are multipath devices that detect tiny electrical charges on the skin and record skin and sweat responses. With this, you can manage stress better and its impact on your well-being by improving sleep patterns, adjusting activities, and practicing mindfulness.
If you want a more advanced way to track your stress levels, this is a better choice than Inspire 3. Its only downside is its shorter battery life of seven days, which isn’t that bad since you’ll have most of the features anyway.
Get it for P10,490 on Fitbit’s website. For discounts, you can also check Fitbit’s official Lazada and Shopee stores.
Garmin Vivosmart 5
With Vivosmart 5, you can track your energy levels throughout the day to find the best times when your body is ready for activity or rest. It also constantly monitors your heart rate and alerts you if it stays too high or low while you’re at rest after a workout. What sets this fitness tracker apart is its “Fitness Age” feature, which tracks your activity, resting heart rate, and body fat percentage (BMI) to estimate if your body is fit according to your actual age. Depending on the data it has collected (younger or older), you’ll receive tips to adjust your fitness age.
Get this fitness tracker in mint, black, white, or black by checking Garmin’s website and finding a store near you.
Garmin Vivomove Sport
Vivomove Sport is a smartwatch that gives off the traditional look of an analog watch. No need to change watches depending on your OOTD because it goes well with any style! Its smart features such as body battery energy monitoring, wrist-based heart rate, Pulse Ox3 sensor, and stress, hydration, and respiration tracking helps you keep up with your busy life in a stylish way. It lasts up to five days in smartwatch mode, and up to six days if using it as an analog-only timepiece.
Get this fitness tracker in ivory, black, cocoa, or cool mint by checking Garmin’s website and finding a retail store near you.
Samsung Galaxy Fit
Popular electronics brand Samsung isn’t all about smartphones and appliances! Their very own Samsung Galaxy Fit is something worth checking out if you’re looking for an ultra-lightweight fitness tracker. For lifestyle support, Galaxy Fit tracks your sleeping patterns and sends alerts if your heart rate rises above pre-defined levels. Planning to jog outside? You can take your workout outdoors without worrying about dust and rain, as this tracker is built with military-level durability standards (MIL-STD-810G). It also has a water resistance of 5ATM (atmospheres), which is equivalent to 50 meters according to ISO standard.
Get it at Samsung’s website. You might also want to check out the Samsung Galaxy Fit e model, which is lighter and has a smaller display screen.
HUAWEI Band 7
Need an affordable fitness tracker that does the job? HUAWEI Band 7 packs a bunch of features for its price. Apart from having more than 4,000 always on display (AOD) watch faces, one of its awesome features is allowing you to choose a favorite photo as display through the HUAWEI Health App.
Its battery life is also impressive as it can run up to two weeks on typical usage or 10 days on heavy usage. What’s more, its exclusive Huawei fast-charging feature can give you at least two days of typical usage with only a five-minute charge. That’s a big plus if you’re pressed for time and forgot to charge but need to head out.
Get it for P2,599 on HUAWEI’s website. You can also check out their official Lazada and Shopee shops for huge discounts.
realme Band 2
If you’re still on the fence whether to get a fitness tracker or not, you don’t have to splurge just yet. Another fitness tracker on the affordable side that you can get is realme Band 2. Compared to its previous release (Band 1), which only had nine Sports Modes, this comes with a major upgrade and now offers 90 Sports Modes. With Band 2, you can take note of your heart rate (including resting and exercise heart rate) with its GH3011 sensor, track your blood oxygen level, and see your daily sleep scores. Its sedentary reminder will also come in handy to remind you to keep moving.
