Fitness band or smartwatch?

A fitness band does the essentials of a smartwatch, steps, heart rate, sleep and workouts, in a slimmer, lighter body that often lasts a week or more. You give up the big screen, apps and, on many bands, built-in GPS.

If you want data without a screen at all, see screen-free bands.

Frequently asked questions

Do fitness bands have GPS?

Some have built-in GPS; many use your phone's GPS instead. The GPS row shows which.

Can I swim with a fitness band?

Most are rated 5 ATM, fine for pool swims and showers. Check the water rating row for each band.

Do fitness trackers track sleep?

Yes. Almost every band here tracks sleep stages, and many add a sleep score and overnight blood-oxygen readings.
