The Best Fitness Trackers to Help You Get Healthy in 2021 – NBC4 Washington

It's been called "The COVID-19," not referring to the virus but weight gain during the pandemic. If that's happened to you, youre not alone. A recent nationally representative Consumer Reports survey found that nearly a third of Americans have packed on some pounds over the past several months.

If it's time for you to get into shape, Consumer Reports recommends the best smartwatches and fitness trackers that can help.

The Apple Watch has long dominated CRs ratings, in part because its easy to pair with the iPhone and has a very accurate heart-rate monitor.

The new Apple Watch Series 6 Steel Case (GPS & Cellular) is no different, but its on the pricey side at $750. For a less expensive option, consider the Apple Watch SE (GPS) for $280, which is near the top of CRs ratings.

Are you an Android person? The Samsung Galaxy Watch3 (GPS) for $400 is a great option, but its also expensive.

If you don't need all those smart features, then a fitness tracker might be a good option to keep track of your step count and heart rate. CRs top-rated fitness tracker is the Garmin Forerunner 235 for $170.

Another option high in the ratings is the Fitbit Charge 3 for $100, which CRs tests found was easy to use with both iPhone and Android.

No matter which brand or type of wearable tech you choose, Consumer Reports has some important advice. A smartwatch or fitness tracker is a lot like a gym membership: Its only helpful if you actually use it.

Just in time for the new year, Apple has launched its new fitness streaming subscription, Apple Fitness Plus. The service is designed for people with an Apple Watch and offers guided workouts on demand that can be streamed across Apple devices.
