Fitness Tracker Checklist

Compatibility
  • Many fitness trackers are connected to a smartphone.
  • When buying, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the selected fitness tracker is compatible with your own device, for example, in terms of iOS or Android smartphones.
  • Before buying, it is necessary to consider for which type of sport the fitness tracker should be most suitable. For example, those who like running need a GPS function, while swimmers need a reliably waterproof model.
Interfaces
  • Via USB interface, most fitness trackers are recharged. When choosing a device, pay attention to the USB type. If a suitable USB cable is neither available at home nor included with the fitness tracker, one should be purchased additionally.
  • Some fitness trackers support charging via induction. If you already have such a charging option, you can choose a suitable fitness tracker.
  • Fitness trackers with GPS interface are especially interesting for runners and cyclists, as they enable accurate tracking of the distance covered and thus a more precise analysis of performance.
  • For data transmission, some fitness trackers also use a Bluetooth interface.
Apps
  • Many fitness trackers use free apps to store and analyze data. Those who use a particularly old smartphone should first make sure that the system requirements for running the app are met.
  • Some fitness trackers also manage without a separate app and process the collected data directly on the device. This is ideal, especially for athletes who like to travel light, as the smartphone can be left at home.
  • Whether an app is recommendable therefore depends on the individual objective.
Functions
  • Simple functions, such as pedometer or pulse measurement can be used in many models even without an app.
  • Athletes who are outdoors in wind and weather or do water sports should opt for a swim-proof fitness tracker .
  • Those who don’t want to miss out on music while exercising can opt for a fitness tracker with a built-in MP3 player.
  • Advanced fitness trackers have automatic activity recognition and independently start tracking activities, such as walks.
  • Even more optimization is possible with a fitness tracker that has a sleep analysis function. In this way, regeneration phases can be optimally utilized.
  • The display should also allow for quick and easy reading. This should apply to any weather, no matter how dark or bright it is outside.
