The available metrics will differ from tracker to tracker, but all of our best fitness trackers are accurate because, well, we’ve tested them. That might be that it’s easy to use and ideal for beginners, so comfortable you barely notice you’re wearing it, or a huge battery life that alleviates the need to find your charger every evening.

While there are likely to be some features missing from the best cheap fitness trackers, every option on this list is here for a reason. For those of us that just want to get started tracking our couch-to-5K, this list is a good place to start. Many of the top watches skew more expensive and are aimed at experienced exercisers who know what they want in a tracker.
