As most people who know me know, I’m *super* into my Fitbit. 😉 And if I meet someone and see that they are wearing a Fitbit too, I’ll often ask them to be “friends” with me on the app.

If you’re considering buying a fitness tracker of any kind, this article by ConsumersAdvocate.org, is amazingly thorough. There are trackers on there I hadn’t even heard of, and that was really surprising to me! Plus, they review the devices on a bunch of different areas of strengths & weaknesses.

I did notice that Fitbit was rated as “Best for Motivation” 😉 but you might find another device that is better in particular aspects that are more important to you. 🙂

In the interest of full transparency, I want my readers to know that I was approached by someone at ConsumersAdvocate.org and I agreed to mention their article in return for them promoting my blog. HOWEVER, I visited their website before agreeing, and I liked it. For one thing, they are upfront about how they make their money. For another, I really think their article could help someone who’s trying to decide which fitness tracker to buy. 🙂

Lastly, as I mentioned already, the article is very thorough and covers a lot of good points. But I’ll add one of my own that I didn’t see mentioned:

I’m partial to Fitbit, but when you are considering which fitness tracker to buy, I suggest that you consider who you want to be “friends” with and what they have. A lot of my friends/coworkers have Fitbit, so if I switched to something else, it would be more difficult for me to be in games/competitions with them. There are apps that enable people with different types of devices to join up, but it’s less convenient. (Two that I’ve personally used are Stridekick and Inkin.)

What fitness tracker do you prefer, and why? Let me know in the comments!
