The market is choked with plethora of these wearable fitness gadgets and hard to select the right one.
Here I must dwell upon Nike FuelBand which was one of the pioneers of wearable tech and caught fitness enthusiasts imagination when it was launched in 2012 with much hype. But Nike has discontinued the product. The problem with early wearable gadgets was that it bombarded the user with data, like no. of movements, calorie burned, distance traveled etc. but was unable to give insights to the user to draw value out of it.

The wearable tech today has become much smarter and well integrated to other devices that we use constantly. 

Some of the best gadgets with the coolest looks and usefulness is given as under:

1) Apple Watch Series 3 

One of the coolest wearable gadget to have undoubtedly is Apple's Watch. As goes with all the Apple products this also has the best design in the market. Apple Watch is the ultimate sports watch that is so well integrated with the iPhone that you are always connected to it no matter how far you go.
In fact it is a combination of iPhone, iPad and iPod on your wrist.

2) Samsung Gear Fit 2


 It is a beautiful product and the best part is that its both android and iOS compatible. the most attractive is the curved design and the shiny display. It is among the best devices that tracks your Activities to Daily life. Ii has all the connectivity features that you might need when you are on the go, playing sports or working out. It has wonderful music playing capabilities, water resistance and battery back up.

3) Microsoft Band 2 

It is the most fully featured wearable tech in the market. Microsoft Band also works well with Android, iOS and Microsoft. The actionable data it provides are step counts, workouts and sleep quality in mobile app and web dashboard that enable you to understand your progress in fitness level.

Fitbit is one of the pioneers of smart wearable trackers and has been a household name since the beginning of the fitness tracker market. It tracks the activities of daily life and can be connected with Andoid, iOS and Microsoft. Fitbit is a truly a fitness company unlike others. Fitbit is one of the earliest to figure out that technology could bring wonderful experience to fitness and health.


Polar is the company historically synonymous with heart rate sensors and GPS tracking fitness watches. It has almost all the features that a smart tracker should have. It is a very strong and reliable brand in wearable fitness arena and Polar A370 is a cutting edge tech product from the trusted brand.

Garmin is a major GPS technology development company for use in aviation, marine, automotive, sport activities and other outdoor activities. The wearable tech devices it is foray into consumable retail products.
Owing to its strength as a purely high tech GPS company its wearable products are force to recon with in the market. It is a 24/7 wearable device and lets you forget your charger as it uses watch batteries that will run for 1 year. Having almost all the features a smart wearable device should have makes it a desirable product.


In the world of wearable trackers where display screen is the king this device oddly doesn't have any screen. However is not a constraint for Moov Now to have all the top elements of a fitness tracker. This carries only a small disc which makes it one of the cheapest and lightest product in the market. The downside is that for viewing the display you have to rely on your smart phone.
