Which is the best fitness tracker?

There are some important questions to ask yourself: What are my fitness goals? Do I need a basic fitness tracker that just tracks heart rate and steps, or do I want a full-on smartwatch with all the bells and whistles? And finally, what's my budget?

The best fitness trackers have a long battery life and can monitor everything from your steps to your sleep quality.

If you're not tech savvy or are a fitness novice, start with a good basic fitness tracker, like the Honor Band 5, which has a heart-rate monitor and sleep tracker, for as little as around £30. The mid-range best fitness trackers for a 200 pricetag include the popular Fitbit range, like the slimline Inspire HR, which has a touch screen and 15 modes, or the Fibit Versa 3, which features a handy voice assistant and a chic aesthetic similar to Apple Watches.
