The Best Fitness Trackers Of 2022: The Top 10 Activity Bands On The Planet

Fitness trackers are all the rage for health-conscious consumers looking to escape the sedentary and keep their bodies and minds in peak shape. A good fitness tracker is a great excuse to escape the office or the classroom and get moving. With accurate health monitoring and activity tracking, the best fitness trackers get you thinking about your well-being and doing something about it.

We’ve tested dozens upon dozens of fitness trackers and pared them down into our list of the Top 10 Activity Bands On The Planet Right Now. If you’re looking to invest in a fitness tracker at the turn of the decade, these are the ones that you should be considering. 

1) Garmin Vivosmart 4

The Garmin Vivosmart 4 has a long-lasting battery and a slim, attractive design that makes it a fashionable accessory. It’s also at the peak of activity band innovation with its body battery that tracks your energy level at different times to clue you in as to what time of day you should be exercising.

2) Honor Band 5

One of the most cost-effective activity band options out there, the Honor Band 5 offers solid sleep tracking capabilities and a bright color touchscreen for a very small investment. It’s a budget option that doesn’t function like one.

3) Fitbit Charge 3

Fitbit has become synonymous with the fitness tracker market and the Fitbit Charge 3 is the most accomplished and well-rounded device they’ve released so far. It’s extremely lightweight and unobtrusive without sacrificing awesome features like a big screen and connectivity to the awesome Fitbit app.

4) Huawei Band 3 Pro

Offering peak functionality for a reduced price point, the Huawei Band 3 Pro is the right fitness tracker for any aspiring health guru on a tight budget. Complete with onboard GPS and a water-resistant composition, this activity band costs you less and gives you much more.

5) Garmin Vivosport

The battery life of the Garmin Vivosport is its biggest selling point. You can use it regularly over the course of a full week and still have a little charge left over at the end. It’s smaller than most activity bands with a GPS system and its waterproof design will excite all the swimmers in the audience.

6) Fitbit Inspire HR

The Fitbit Inspire HR isn’t as feature-heavy as the aforementioned Fitbit Charge 3, but it’s a perfectly fantastic fitness tracker for what amounts to the company’s budget option. You also get full access to the amazing Fitbit app that is worth the price of admission alone.

7) Amazfit Bip

Built to look much more like a stylish smartwatch than an activity band, the Amazfit Bip is a real winner for those looking for some aesthetic charm out of their fitness tracker. Taking cues from the Apple Watch, the Amazfit Bip backs up its good looks with great features such as multisport tracking and an extremely accurate heart rate monitor. 

8) Garmin Vivofit 4

Offering peak battery life that almost guarantees you won’t have to charge it for a full year, the Garmin Vivofit 4 is as accurate as they come while also being one of Garmin’s cheapest devices on the market. This activity band will do it all and do it for a long time between charges.

9) Xiaomi Mi Band 4

This is Xiaomi’s budget addition to the activity band marketplace and it’s a good one. It may not be the most feature-heavy and groundbreaking fitness tracker out there, but it does a lot of things well and its slimline design is easy on the eyes. The clear, crisp screen is a standout on this list.

10) Moov Now

While this is now a classic activity band of sorts, it’s still good enough to make our top ten with ease. The Moov Now offers a great six-month battery life and such interesting features as a boxing mode and a swimming assistant. It’s also reasonably priced and easy to work with.

Closing Thoughts

The ten fitness trackers on the list above are all worthwhile investments for everyone from active professionals to those looking to simply get off the couch. Your health is your most critical asset and these activity bands are some of the best things going right now to protect that asset for years to come.
