As health finally takes the holistic route, with beauty, sleep, nutrition and physical fitness all under the ‘wellness’ umbrella, tracking their collective impact is now at the forefront as well. Stripping down to bare basics and understanding factors like how caffeine and alcohol impact sleep, how many calories a workout burns, what your body’s stress and recovery levels look like can all contribute to living a healthier daily life. These five wearable fitness trackers will help you take your 2025 wellness goals to the next level – go on, take your pick.

Ultrahuman

If you don’t like the idea of wearing another strap on your wrist or an added screen, the lightweight (a mere 2.4g) Ultrahuman Ring AIR is the ideal pick for you. Available in five metallic hues – Raw Titanium, Aster Black, Matte Grey, Bionic Gold and Space Silver – this accessory makes tracking everything from movement levels, to calorie loss, body temperature and heart rate variations, your sleep cycle, caffeine permissible window and sleep debt, effortless. The brand also has the M1, a continuous glucose monitor that links to their app as well, should you need to use both together.

WHOOP

The WHOOP band took the screen away from traditional fitness trackers like the Apple Watch and Fitbit – a breath of fresh air for those who are consciously trying to reduce their screen time and don’t need yet another barrage of notifications. Popularised by Cristiano Ronaldo’s investment in 2022 and worn and loved by the likes of Virat Kohli, the WHOOP has quickly become the go-to band for athletes and those who take their physical fitness seriously. The app that the band links to uses collective metrics such as strain, recovery, heart rate variability and sleep performance to provide actionable advice on your body’s performance levels, to make the most of your day. Plus, the brand provides bands in a vast variety of colours which makes it super customisable depending on your OOTD. The best part? The charger plugs directly onto the band on your wrist meaning you never have to take it off.

Apple Watch Series 10

If you’re an Apple user through and through, consider investing in the Apple Watch Series 10. It’s the brand’s thinnest yet with the largest screen, and also includes features such as detecting sleep apnea and generating an ECG. You’re able to put your phone away and almost entirely use it via the watch, not missing any important notifications in case you’re signing up for a middle-of-the-work day pilates class. There’s also the joy of closing your fitness rings when you meet your goals for the day that can work as positive reinforcement – as long as you’re not obsessing over them.

Oura Ring

The first mover in the fitness rings space, the Oura Ring 4 provides similar trackers like the Ultrahuman Ring AIR but with a week-long battery life — impressive for a product of its size. Additionally, it has a comprehensive women’s health tracker which gives you daily insights into each phase of your menstrual cycle, fertility and period alerts, and delivers real-time advice depending on how your body is feeling on any given day. If you’re in your wellness era, this is the one for you.

Fitbit Charge 6

A skinnier screen than the rest — this classic device is a winner for those just starting out on their fitness journey. It allows you to track your heart rate, has a built-in GPS system to record outdoor workouts, allows you to control YouTube music from the device itself and build daily habits such as keeping your sleep schedule in check, ensuring your body is moving throughout the day and of course, staying hydrated.
