Amazfit “T-Rex Ultra” GPS Fitness Smartwatch
This new high-end addition to the T-Rex series sets a new benchmark for smartwatches built for professional-level outdoor exploration.
The Fitbit Ionic Fitness Smartwatch
A solid alternative to the Apple Watch, if you're not into the Apple ecosystem for any reason.
ŌURA Fitness & Sleep Tracker Ring
A wellness tracker in the form of a ring (rather than a wristband) designed to help you get more restful sleep and perform better.
Withings Activité Pop Fitness Tracker
A fitness tracker that doesn't look like one.
Misfit Flash
Most people either know they want to track their activity or know that they don't--few people fall in the middle, left unsure. But for those whose interest has been raised at some point, the Misfit Flash is a perfect entry tracker. The Flash has an MSRP of $50 directly from Misfit, but has gone on sale in the past from other stores like Amazon or Best Buy for $25.
The Fitbit Force
If the FuelBand isn't your thing, the other powerhouse in personal fitness tracking — Fitbit — has also updated their wrist-based offering. The Fitbit Force is a revised version of the Flex, which took Fitbit's step and sleep tracking to an all-new level. The Force adds better support for counting stairs, but the headlining feature (for me, at least) is the inclusion of a…
The Nike FuelBand SE
Nike's refreshed its FuelBand for the holidays. The new FuelBand SE has a similar LED grid display and still syncs Nike "Fuel" — not actual steps — to your iPhone over Bluetooth.

It should be significantly harder to lose than the company's One device, and more powerful than Nike's one-trick-pony Fuelband. Like the One, the Flex will track steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned,…
Fitbit One
An upgrade from the company's popular Ultra device, the new Fitbit One tracks steps, stairs climbed, calories burned, and quality of sleep when worn on the wrist at night. The new device adds vibrating alarm like the Jawbone Up, which is no longer for sale. Coupled with the company's updated iOS app, the Fitbit One can sync data over Bluetooth 4.0. The…
Nike+ Fuelband
For most of us with desk jobs, getting up and moving can be hard to remember, and most of us don't do it enough. The Nike+ Fuelband makes it easy and fun to track footsteps and other movements. The goal each day is to fill the meter up, watching it grow from red to yellow to green with every step taken. The…
