Best Health Tracker: Oura Ring 3

Why We Love It: I’ve tried many, many fitness trackers—but I tend not to stick with one watch or band for very long. I’ve worn the Oura ring, however, for the past three years—and I’m completely obsessed. Its sleep tracking capabilities are excellent, it discreetly measures my stress levels and activity throughout the day, and I personally love how it measures my menstrual cycle phases. And don’t just take my word for it: “I’m a big fan of the Oura Ring because it offers a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond just hitting a step count or burning calories,” says Louis Chandler, Alo Moves and Alo Wellness Club Trainer. “For my clients, especially those with busy schedules, the Oura Ring helps ensure every workout, rest day, and recovery strategy is truly aligned with what their body needs.”

Best Hybrid Health & Fitness Tracker: Garmin Venu 3S Smart Watch

Why We Love It: The Garmin Venu 3S is ideal for anyone seeking a slightly more sleek, everyday-watch-meets-tracker. In addition to fitness tracking, this watch has a wide range of unique features aimed at supporting overall well-being, such as: stress tracking, women’s health tracking, guided meditation, jet lag advisory, fitness age (which measures how fit you are compared to your actual age), Garmin coaching, on-screen workouts, and more.

Best for Discrete Tracking: UltraHuman Ring AIR

Why We Love It: The Ultrahuman Ring hit the market a couple years ago to much excitement, primarily because it doesn’t require a subscription (like the Oura ring). It also has a number of health and fitness features designed to help you reach your goals, such as: sleep analysis, recovery assessment, and in-app performance coaching.

Best for iPhone Users: Apple Watch Series 10

Why We Love It: “I have clients who swear by their Apple watches because they’re reliable and perform well and they also look good on their wrists,” says Schofield. Personally, while I don’t wear my Apple Watch daily, I do love throwing it on before a run or workout to accurately track my fitness. The Series 10 has a much longer battery life than other generations, sleep tracking capabilities, and other health metrics tied to heart health. As a runner, I love the pacer feature, which allows you to see if you’re ahead or behind your goal pace—plus, I like that I program running workouts right on the watch. In my opinion, no other smartwatch interface compares to the ease of the Apple Watch, which makes the experience of using this device all the more enjoyable.

Best for Beginners: FitBit Charge 6 Fitness Tracker

Why We Love It: “I would say that, for most people, the Fitbit is going to be your go-to device,” says Schofield. “It’s one of the cheaper options on the market, it’s durable, and it’s reliable.” The Fitbit Charge 6, in particular, is a great all-around fitness tracker for a range of goals. The minimalist band has sleep tracking, a VO2Max monitor, smart tracking capabilities (which automatically detects your workouts), and stress management monitoring, among a long list of other health and fitness features. Plus, at $159, it’s a much more accessible price point than many other trackers.
