Our Ultimate Guide to the Best Fitness Trackers and Watches

As you embark on your Wedding wellness journey, the best way to track your hard work is with a fitness tracker.


These come with a variety of forms, features, and price points so we prepared a guide to help you choose the perfect fitness tracker. Whether you're a dedicated gym enthusiast, a style-conscious tech lover, or someone looking for the perfect balance of health and practicality, we have tailored suggestions to suit you. We tried out many of them, so here are our top picks to help you stay on track with your fitness goals while preparing for your special day. Let's find the best fitness tracker for you! 


Wearable Fitness Tracker


Before we dive into the products, here are some things to consider:

  1. Are you saving or splurging? If you’re saving the pennies for your wedding, the Fitbit Inspire 3 at $99 is very affordable. On the other hand if you want to go all-out, the Whoop 4 ($239/year subscription) will provide sleep and recovery feedback that transforms your relationship with your body.

  2. Do you already wear a watch? If so, a pure tracker may be more suitable than a smartwatch.

  3. Are you an Apple or a Google person? Choosing a matching tracker will allow you to integrate with the rest of your tech.

  4. Do you want to track your sleep too? If so, a watch that needs charging every night like the Apple Watch SE won’t work.

  5. Do you like to get detailed stats from every workout? If so, a basic tracker like Inspire 3 may not be enough.

  6. Do you want to see how lifestyle choices (alcohol, reading before bed, strenuous exercise, etc.) affect your health? If so, Whoop is for you.

  7. Do you want smart features like text message alerts and a voice assistant? If so, you’ll want a smartwatch rather than a tracker.


Below we review some of the best fitness trackers and watches on the market. Which tracker-type are you?
