Get your kid moving more and sleeping better with these fitness trackers

Fitness trackers (also known as activity trackers) are popular with adults who exercise regularly and those who simply want to get an idea of how many steps they take each day. While most fitness trackers are designed for grown-ups, a few are made specifically for kids. The idea isn't necessarily for fitness but more to help motivate kids to get active and have fun doing it. Many activity trackers for kids include even more fun features. But the best kids fitness tracker is definitely the Fitbit Ace 3 , which also happens to be the newest on the market. It strips things down to the basics with a simple design, reliable tracking of data, and intuitive app experience, making it the best option you can get for young ones. Best overall: Fitbit Ace 3 Ideal for kids aged 6-12, the Fitbit Ace 3 boasts two main upgrades over the previous-generation Ace 2: longer battery life at a rated eight days per charge and a greater selection of animated clock faces that change and do different t

Fitbit Inspire 2 review: The little fitness tracker that gets me

The best value Fitbit tracker. As I prepared to write this Fitbit Inspire 2 review, I didn't expect to experience such a rollercoaster of feelings about the little fitness tracker. When the device was announced late in the summer of 2020, I was really excited to give it a go and put it up against my then beloved Charge 3. However, I ended up having some initial frustrations with this device that had me reevaluating my role as fitness band champion . I even briefly considered just moving on to smartwatches like the rest of the world. After spending more time with the Inspire 2, I've gotten past those frustrations and have found myself settling into a rhythm with the new device. I've even started to forget that I'm wearing it most of the time, which might just be one of its biggest selling points, if I'm honest. It would appear that I'm not alone in my fondness for the minimal fitness trackers either. During Fitbit's online launch event for the Inspire 2

Wyze Band review: A worthy $30 fitness tracker with Alexa onboard

Why pay more if you don't need to? Fitness trackers are usually priced well below smartwatches because they tend to offer fewer features, and that's certainly the case here with the new Wyze Band. It doesn't have onboard GPS, nor music storage, nor the ability to respond to app notifications. You can't automatically trigger a workout or engage in step competitions with your buddies. Despite these shortcomings, the Wyze Band does do most of what you'd want or expect a fitness tracker to do, at less than half of the price of market-leading bands like the Fitbit Inspire 2 , and less than a third the price of the new Fitbit Charge 4 . Are there compromises here? Of course. But the whole package was compelling enough for this Fitbit fan to want to test drive the first wearable from Wyze to see if it might be worth my while. In the process, I learned a lot about what is possible at such an affordable price point, and what sacrifices have to be made to achieve that pri
