Runtastic Moment

S-e-x-y, that's what I would call this watch-turned-activity-tracker. It's not cheap, but then again, style never is. Waterproof and able to track distance travelled, steps taken, calories burned and sleep, Moment syncs with your phone to give you stats on all of your activities.

Eating too little (or too much)? Keep an eye on your daily calorie burn. Oh god, my watch is yelling at me again! It sports an analog watch with a progress bar and LED light and comes in a variety of gorgeous styles, beautiful enough to hang on anyone's wrist.

Garmin Vivo Smart

Again, it's minimalist, but for many that's one of the things you want in a
fitness tracker. V�vosmart's sleek, invisible display comes to life when you get a notification or when you tap the band. It displays steps, calories, distance and time of day, as well as alerts for calls, texts and emails from your smartphone.

A vibrating alarm clock to wake you and goals to keep you challenged, with an inactivity alert when you've been sitting on your butt for too long.

Withings Activit�

Motion is life. Leave it to the French and the Swiss to come up with a timepiece that is a game-changer in the wearable industry. Scratchproof sapphire glass, with a sleek stainless steel waterproof case and lovingly strapped to your wrist with a meticulously hand-stitched strap of leather from Haas Tanneries, the supplier of the finest French Haute Couture houses.

Okay, now let's talk about what it can do. As they say, "Make every move count," track your every day movement, be it your sleep, running, walking, or swimming (though don't ruin that beautiful leather band by forgetting to switch to your waterproof strap... it's easy with the quick release spring bars). FYI: There's a cheaper version that replaces the metal with plastic... But, how de rigueur of you.

It's a nice mid-range price for a band with a full contingent of features. It offers reliable step tracking, sleep data and heart rate monitoring, so you can track your workouts, floors climbed, active minutes, steps and calories burned. You also get silent alerts for calls, texts and emails. It automatically recognizes you and the battery lasts several days.

Jawbone UP2

The UP2 isn't Jawbone's newest, but it's consistently rated high for its affordability and comfort. Their Up app is easily one of the best you'll find, it features activity tracking, sleep tracking, food logging and a smart coach. It's a watch that provides long-term data, and a great range of tips and challenges to keep you motivated. There are, of course, multiple levels and many upgrades such as the UP3 and UP4 that include a heart health and an American Express tap to pay for groceries, coffee or a taxi, add-ons respectively.
