As you move up in price, you essentially get more sensors, thus more complex data. Garmin has nearer 30 different sports watches, and the differences can be quite obscure. The Ace 2 is also worth a shout, which is its fitness tracker designed for kids. It also features core fitness tracking features, a heart rate monitor, and a SpO2 sensor too. It brings all the features from the Sense (GPS, ECG, stress tracking, skin temperature), and puts it in a wristband form factor.īelow that is the Fitbit Luxe, a fitness tracker that's a bit of a throwback to the Fitbit Alta with its slim, fashion-focused design and is the only Fitbit fitness tracker to include a color touchscreen display.
