- GARMIN USB ANT STICK FOR FITBIT 2 SYNCHRONIZATION SERIES
The Charge 4’s activity-tracking features performed well in our tests, quickly and automatically picking up our walks, bike rides, and more after we put in about 10 minutes of movement. (now available only to health-care customers)
GARMIN USB ANT STICK FOR FITBIT 2 SYNCHRONIZATION PLUS
Overall, the Vívoactive 4S is a step closer to a GPS running watch than the Fitbit trackers we recommend.īattery life: up to seven days (watch mode), up to five hours (music mode plus GPS) Sleep tracking: yes, not including naps Water-resistant: yes, 50 meters Heart-rate monitor: yes GPS: yes And buttons beside the screen make it easier to toggle among workout modes or to start and stop workouts. Its color touchscreen is clear and responsive (though more muted than those of a few color-screen competitors). It’s refined and highly wearable-the 4S is bigger than the two Fitbit models we recommend, but it’s smaller than other watch-like trackers from Garmin and Polar (another brand we tested).

The 4S is the smaller of Garmin’s two Series 4 offerings (it has a 40-millimeter screen, versus the Vívoactive 4’s 45-millimeter screen). It’s a sporty, advanced fitness tracker with an emphasis on-you guessed it-exercise. If you’re especially active and you want to keep in-depth records of all your workouts, consider the Garmin Vívoactive 4S.
The tracker boasts a hefty, 10-day battery life-outdoing the battery life of our top pick by three days.īattery life: up to 10 days Sleep tracking: yes, not including naps Water-resistant: yes, 50 meters Heart-rate monitor: yes GPS: when connected to a phone You can wear the Inspire 2 on your wrist or on your clothes with a clip (sold separately). But like the Charge 4, this model offers more than 20 goal-based exercise modes, and it tracks sleep stages (though alarms are programmable only in the app with the Charge 4, they’re programmable on the device). Unlike the Charge 4, the Inspire 2 doesn’t have an altimeter, so it can’t track floors climbed. It did perform solidly in our heart-rate tests. On a 1.4-mile walk along a measured loop, the Inspire 2 fell behind the Charge 4 on both distance and step-count accuracy, and it was less precise when recording all-day step count. The Inspire 2 does not have built-in GPS (which the Charge 4 does) it measures pace and distance on a walk or a run when connected to your phone’s GPS (meaning you’ll need your phone with you). Like the Charge 4, the Inspire 2 has no mechanical button-squeezing the sides of the screen will wake it up or return it to the home screen. The touchscreen display is bright and vibrant. The Fitbit Inspire 2 has a slimmer, sexier profile than the Fitbit Charge 4. Its battery life stretches for up to seven days.īattery life: up to seven days (or up to five hours when in continuous GPS mode) Sleep tracking: yes, including naps over an hour Water-resistant: yes, 50 meters Heart-rate monitor: yes GPS: built in This model tracks the duration and perceived quality of your nighttime sleep, and it even records naps (not all trackers do). The Charge 4 features an altimeter (which tracks floors climbed) and built-in GPS (which allows for real-time pace and distance data without requiring a phone connection). Within the app, you can also determine which smartphone notifications you’d like to buzz on your wrist. There are more than 20 activity modes, including a new outdoor-workout mode for sports that aren’t step-dependent (like cross-country skiing or kayaking). The straightforward, concise app lets you parse daily activity data with ease and allows for linking to a robust network of other Fitbit users (which might help keep you motivated). The touchscreen display is bright and clear, and clearly labeled icons allow for unfussy menu navigation. It reliably detects, nearly always correctly identifies, and automatically begins to record your workouts-running, walking, biking, swimming-after about 10 minutes of activity. Of all the trackers we’ve tried, the Fitbit Charge 4 is the most intuitive to use, and it’s among the most accurate for measuring steps and heart rate (although accuracy isn’t everything).
