The best Fitbit for men in 2022

By

Attention guys! If you are trying to figure out how to live a healthier lifestyle, a Fitbit tracker or smartwatch may be in your near future. Fitbit, a wearable device that you don’t need a pilot’s license to operate, may very well suit your needs for a range of athletic activities and health monitoring. Numerous Fitbit models are tailored to help you get started with a new routine, whether your favorite activity is watching old movies on the couch, pumping iron at the gym, or jogging around the neighborhood. Some Fitbits are more elaborate — and more expensive — so we present a variety of some of the best Fitbits out there to help you decide which one is right for you.

Fitbit Charge 4

Fitbit Charge 4.

When you’re on your run, you can use the Fitbit Charge 4’s built-in GPS to monitor your pace and distance, while a built-in workout intensity map in the app displays your heart rate changes as you move. The tracker features active zone minutes when you reach your target heart rate zones, as well as skin temperature tracking and sleep tracking. The app also lets you view your blood oxygen (SpO2) nightly average and trends over the past week. The battery lasts up to seven days or up to five hours when using the GPS function.

Fitbit Versa 3

Fitbit Versa 3 Health & Fitness Smartwatch.

With just a Fitbit Versa 3 on your wrist, you can leave your smartphone at home as you run, bike, or hike while using the built-in GPS and Fitbit app to view your pace and distance and monitor your workout intensity map. This smartwatch tracks active zone minutes and gives you a buzz when you accelerate the intensity. You can also see your blood oxygen levels and use the Fitbit app to track your health trends over time. Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa lets you set bedtime reminders and alarms and control your smart home devices via voice. The built-in mic and speaker facilitate Bluetooth calls, activate voicemail, and control volume. You can also store and play music and podcasts on Spotify, Deezer, or Pandora.

Use the built-in GPS during runs, hikes, and rides to monitor pace and distance without your phone; the built-in mic and speaker facilitate Bluetooth calls when your phone is nearby. Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa gets you news, sets bedtime reminders and alarms, and controls smart home devices with your voice. The battery lasts six days, while fast charging gives you a full day’s charge in 12 minutes.
