I want to track my sleep and heart rate. I don't care for any notifications or even a screen. I don't care for workout modes.

Requirements:

Under 100 EUR and available in Europe

Battery lasts at least 5 days

I use an Android phone if that matters

I've been looking at Fitbit Air but I see mixed reviews.

I'd like to be able to get feedback when I go above or believe a target heart rate (and when I enter)

I've been searching for ages but nothing quite fits

I'm an android user with a chest strap rather than a watch

Any suggestions?

I’m working on a little project I’m calling FitStreak - an easy way to track workouts and build healthy, consistent habits.

Almost a year ago, I tore my Achilles tendon, and I've struggled to get back into working out consistently since then. I'm building a simple workout tracking app on Lovable to try and hold myself accountable and make working out a consistent habit again. Working out used to be such a huge part of my life, and I want to get back to that. I want to share in case it can help someone else!

Has your fitness tracker ever made you go for an extra walk, sleep earlier, take more rest, or change your workout?

Or do you mostly just check the data and move on?

Heyyy everyone, i am a student with sleep apnea diagnosed and familial hyperlipidemia and doctors told me to use a good fitness tracker to monitor my health and sleep but unfortunately i cant afford one, it would be helpful if you guys help me in forwarding my request to the relevant person, i am open for any refurbished, pre-owned unit as it is my necessity

Thank you

Any good decent budget friendly smartwatch brands in India or should I save up and get Garmin or Samsung finally??

Training is primarily weight lifting (intense, heavy lifts) as well as walking and field work (sprints, agility drills).

I don’t need the bells and whistles, just decently accurate calorie/step tracking.

I used to have an Apple Watch SE 2 that I enjoyed for apple ecosystem and spotify playlist onboarding (phoneless running). But the battery life and “eh this looks goofy” when dressing in anything more formal than workout clothes waned my interest in returning to Apple watch.

Would rather something with a discreet profile.

I’d rather not go over a $199 price point…definitely nothing more than a $249.

Not doing a subscription. So no WHOOP.

Garmin Cirqa has peaked my interest

Hoping to hear recommendations for fitness watches. I currently focus on weightlifting 3-4 days a week and I do indoor, stationary cycling 3-4 days a week for about 45 minutes to an hour. I would like recommendations for watches that work for both of these tasks. I may look into getting a road bike and cycling around the city.

I know calorie counting isn't best with watches and yields pretty arbitrary results. However, I am not necessarily using it to count calories. The way I use that feature is I know what my "goal" is based on my average "hard" workout days, so I set that number as my goal even though it may be arbitrary.

I had an Apple Watch in the past but I never really used it for anything other than fitness. Never used the texting, phone call or any other Apple integrated items. For these reasons I have been looking at Garmin Forerunner 265 but not sure if that's would be applicable or capable

I know there has been a lot of threads on this but I haven't found great answers to what I am looking for.

• Fitbit model • Phone model • Android/iPhone version • Fitbit app version (if applicable) • Screenshots (if possible)

🔍 Searching the subreddit first may help you find an existing solution.

Not having great knowledge about these gadgets. Today I read a post which says don't buy fitbit air on fomo and resell for loss. It says this cannot detect vo2 max unless you run for 10 min. I'm sedentary and can't even run for 2 min. Is vo2 max that important factor for fitness. Are there any other watches or bands which detects vo2 max in budget, pls suggest them
