There’s a difference between a smartwatch and a fitness tracker — although they might look the same strapped on anyone’s arm. A smartwatch is a combination of a wristwatch, a smartphone, and a fitness tracker. It’s basically the most advanced wearable tech. Fitness trackers are standalone devices that are made for monitoring/tracking a person’s health and send the data on an app.
If you’re an active person or you’re planning on focusing on your fitness, you should definitely get your hands on a fitness tracker.

There might be an overwhelming number of fitness trackers out there but we’re here to help you find the best fitness tracker for your budget.
