updated January 1, 2019<\/p>\n

If you’re an Apple user, there are some great fitness trackers designed specifically for your platform. But what about if you’re an Android user? While some iOS operating systems will not work on Android, there are some fantastic options out there that will work on both platforms.<\/strong> In this article, we’ll review 2019’s best android fitness tracker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Best GPS Android Fitness Tracker<\/span><\/h2>\n

LetsFit Fitness Tracker<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Letsfit<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The LetsFit Fitness Tracker<\/a> is<\/strong> an attractive, slimline android fitness tracker that allows you to monitor your sleep activity, monitor your heart rate, and track your fitness activity.<\/strong> It will continuously and automatically track your sleep activity and provide you with a comprehensive analysis of your sleep activity. You can track as many as 14 different types of sports with this android fitness tracker. The GPS tracks distance and pace while mapping out your run or walk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The strap is made from a silicone material with a metal buckle. It feels very strong yet feels lightweight and comfortable on the wrist.<\/strong> There is an attractive curved rectangular look to the face. It features large, easy to read digits on a bright display. Unlike the Fitbit Surge, the watch doesn’t protrude off the arm too much. It is very sleek and slimline.<\/p>\n

The Smart Notification function of this android fitness tracker allows you to get notifications of your calls, calendar, SMS, and SNS messages.<\/strong> It features wireless data syncing from the android fitness tracker to your phone or another device (Android 4.4 or above). This android fitness tracker pairs with the VeryFitPro app, which provides you with a comprehensive analysis of your workout and sleep data.<\/strong>  This android fitness tracker is IP67 water resistant. That means that this android fitness tracker can take rainwater, slashes, or sweat. However, you would not want to jump into the pool with this android fitness tracker on your wrist. Overall, the LetsFit Fitness Tracker is a very user-friendly, comfortable to wear an android fitness watch that provides advanced tracking features to allow you to drill down on your workout analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Best Android Calorie Counter<\/span><\/h2>\n

Garmin VivoFit 2<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Activity<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Garmin VivoFit 2 can be purchased as a stand-alone product or bundled with the Garmin chest strap heart rate monitor for an extra.<\/strong> However, it will pair with any ANT + heart rate monitor. The VivoFit 2 strap has a very secure locking mechanism.<\/strong> It is a quarter turn system, so it will not fall off your wrist. The Garmin VivoFit 2 also has a backlit display which makes it much easier to see in all light conditions. It is far more customizable than previous versions of the VivoFit. It allows you to set a different group of settings, depending on what you are doing.<\/strong> The VivoFit 2 has a great battery life as well as excellent water resistant properties. You will get about 12 months of battery life due to the watch style replaceable batteries that are embedded in the device.<\/p>\n

The VivoFit is water resistant up to 50 meters. That means you can wear it in the shower or the pool with no adverse effects. The watch does have sleep tracking functionality. However, you do have to enter sleep mode manually. Also, the sleep analysis on the app is not very detailed. The VivoFit 2 will track your calories consumed as a result of all of the activities that it records. The most accurate calorie counting function takes place when you are also wearing the chest based heart rate monitor.<\/strong> You do have to sync the Garmin VivoFit 2 manually. You need to hold down the button until the word SNYC appears on the screen. The Garmin VivoFit 2 is a big improvement on the first generation product, which Garmin is still selling at the same price point. We suggest going for VivoFit 2 and pairing it with a chest-based heart rate monitor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Best Android Sleep Tracker<\/span><\/h2>\n

LetsCom Fitness Tracker<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Fitness<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall Best Activity Tracker for Android<\/span><\/h2>\n

Garmin VivoSmart HR<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"VivoSmart<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

VivoSmart HR<\/a> is the second generation VivoSmart.<\/strong> It is water resistant down to 50 meters. The battery life is around 5 days. If you have the heart rate sensor turned, off. However, you will get better battery life. The device has Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility. It will sync your data as soon as you open up the app.<\/p>\n

The display on the VivoSmart HR<\/a> is big and comfortable to read from. It has excellent visibility in all conditions, and it does have a backlight.<\/strong> The display is a touch screen, which is how you navigate between the software. You can adjust the orientation of the screen from horizontal to vertical. There is a single physical button on the side of the unit. You use it to get into the settings and to start your workout.<\/p>\n

In contrast to previous Garmin fitness trackers, the VivoSmart HR<\/a> has gone for more of a traditional watch style strap locking mechanism.<\/strong> The band is also very soft and easy on the wrist. On the underside of the device is the optical heart rate sensor. Garmin calls this feature ‘Elevate’. Elevate will provide you with very accurate heart rate monitoring when running and cycling.<\/strong> But the heart rate sensor does not do a good job when it comes to weight lifting and CrossFit.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Fitbit Charge HR, the heart rate sensor on the VivoSmart HR<\/a> is running 24 \/ 7. It will be cataloging your heart rate data and storing it within the Garmin Connect Application.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The VivoSmart HR<\/a> is an activity and sleep tracker, complete with a heart rate monitor.<\/strong> It will also act as both a workout tracker and as a Smart device. In terms of being an activity tracker, it logs your 24\/ 7 activity, including steps, calories, and distance. It will also record your floors climbed and intensity minutes.<\/p>\n

Garmin has a feature called ‘auto goal’. It will automatically adjust your daily steps goal based on your most recent activity level.<\/strong> That way, your goal is always a stretch, but it is always within your reach. You also get move reminders for when it’s time to get active. A move bar on display gets larger the lazier you are. A single daily alarm can be adjusted on the mobile app. It automatically tracks your sleep and will sync this information as well as all the rest of your activity information to the Garmin Connect app<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a workout tracker, VivoFit HR<\/a> is mainly designed for running and cycling.<\/strong> The internal accelerometer is very good at estimating the distance traveled during your run.<\/p>\n

VivoSmart HR<\/a> is also a Smart device.<\/strong> It will display all of your phone notifications. You can also control the Garmin Active camera from the device. It also has a ‘find my phone’ feature and a music control feature.<\/p>\n
