We’re only three months away from Christmas and all the New Years Resolutions! Do you have a fitness tracker to help you achieve the resolutions? Could a family member or friend use a new fitness tracker?
Let’s take a look at some of the best fitness trackers for the holiday season of 2021!
Letsfit Fitness Tracker
Let’s talk about the Letsfit Fitness Tracker! When you’re on a tight budget these may be the solution for you. This fitness tracker goes for $60 regularly at Target, but it is on sale for $38 right now.
To be fair and honest, the Letsfit Fitness Tracker feels like a rip from the Fitbit Versa. The displays even look near identical. This is a budget fitness tracker for a reason. The band and latch are low quality. The app, VeryFitPro, is not eye appealing nor is it user-friendly. And the fitness metrics on the watch face are basic. However, the Letsfit Fitness Tracker is waterproof and the metrics are accurate. The battery lasts about a week from charge to charge, and it’s inexpensive.
Garmin Venu Sq
The Garmin Venu Sq is the cheaper alternative to the original Garmin Venu with the main differences being the square display and an LCD instead of an AMOLED display.
The Garmin Venu Sq has all the core fits sensors along with great smartwatch features. The Venu Sq comes with a built-in GPS, SpO2 (blood oxygen) tracking, it is compatible with both Android and iOS, and its battery charge can last up to six days.
Coros Pace 2
The Coros Pace 2 is a multisport watch with a ton of new and existing features that cover just about all of your fitness needs. The only features it lacks are the ones that target higher altitudes such as a SpO2 sensor, mountain climb mode, ski mode, and a trail running mode.
The Coros Pace 2 is a great watch for running and direct competition to Garmin fitness trackers.
You can find it on Amazon here.
Whoop Strap 4.0
The Whoop Strap 4.0 is a great watch for your family member that is hardcore into fitness. It was developed by and for college-level athletes. That being said, it isn’t the best fit for those who exercise casually.
This one is a little different from most other fitness trackers in the sheer fact that it does not have a screen. It has two LEDs and an accelerometer to enable it to track biometrics. Using the data it tracks, the Whoop Strap 4.0 can derive proprietary measurements on strain and recovery so users may perform at their optimal levels.
The Whoop Strap 4.0 itself is free with Whoop Membership as low as $30 per month. Membership comes with the whoop app, access to teams, coaching, and more! Find it on the Whoop website.

Amazon Halo
Amazon is everywhere, and we love them just like you do. Similar to the Whoop Strap 4.0, this fitness tracker doesn’t distract you as it does not have a display. The Amazon Halo also has a membership which is $3.99 per month, similar to the Whoop Strap. Unlike the Whoop Strap, the Amazon Halo does have a price tag of $99.99.
The Amazon Halo is great at monitoring your activity and sleep. The app that goes with the Halo has a robust library of workouts and wellness programs. An uncommon feature the Amazon Halo utilizes is the ability to analyze the tone of your voice to determine how sound to other people. Also, it can measure your body fat percentage by analyzing images taken with its app.

Oura Ring
All of the fitness trackers we have discussed in this article go around your wrist. The Oura differs in the fact that it is a ring. The Oura Ring is an accurate tracker of your sleep, readiness, and activeness. The Oura Ring measures directly from arteries in your finger as opposed to the capillaries in your wrist.
