Fitness Trackers for Weightlifting

The 935 is the quintessential triathlon watch from Garmin. It is designed for durability and it focuses on delivering useful information for the active person. The slick design is easy to pair with a casual and/or sports outfit because it’s an all-black, lightweight build.

The screen is not sensitive to touch, but you can use the side buttons to scroll through the apps. The menu is built around the active person who practices a wide range of sports such as running, swimming, cycling, and more. On the back of the case, there is a heart rate sensor and inside it, a GPS+GLONASS module.

It also has features that are useful to athletes looking to measure their progress. For instance, there is an UltraTrack mode (reliable due to the built-in gyroscope), and the possibility to follow metrics such as ground contact time and stride length.

All these features also help you measure your training status, to indicate if you’re undertraining or overdoing it. In addition, it has a built-in barometer, altimeter, and electronic compass which can be extremely useful while hiking or running long distances.

Forerunner 935 also features smart notifications, music control, automatic uploads and connects to the Garmin app for custom Watch faces and apps. It is compatible with most mobile devices (iOS and Android) and it works with other Garmin devices designed for tracking sports or it can be paired with external sensors (for more accurate tracking).

Lastly, the Forerunner 935 has a better battery life than other similar models from Garmin (up to 24h in GPS mode and up to 2 weeks in watch mode) and it comes with built-in WiFi.

Vivomove 3 is a series of hybrid smartwatches that combines the style of an analog design with the technology of a smart device. This means you get to be notified about text messages and other events while also enjoying the soothing view of analog hands on your watch display.

In addition, people who like an elegant piece on their wrist will be happy to know that the black case is thin and slim. Also, the band is comfortable and can be easily changed due to the quick-release system. This means that you can buy one watch and several bands to make it look new and interesting for every occasion.

The display features a combination of analog and digital, with a hidden OLED touchscreen in the lower half of the screen. As such, the control of the information displayed is done via the touchscreen (there are no buttons on the side). Also, the touchscreen display is not visible at all times; only when you need it.

In terms of smart features, Vivomove 3 has a variety of health and wellness features, it can connect with the GPS on your smartphone (to track walks and more), and it can track your body’s energy levels.

The battery is estimated to last for about five days on one charge, but if you use it in watch mode, it will last for one week. Overall, Vivomove 3 is an elegant watch that looks analog but comes with a secret.

Versa Lite is the more affordable version of an earlier version of the same smartwatch and fitness tracker, the Fitbit Versa.

In terms of design, Versa Lite is similar to Versa, with a rectangular display and rounded corners. The band is replaceable (straps sold separately) and the screen is touch-sensitive and can be customized using the wide range of watch faces available online.

Versa Lite can connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth and can track your movement in real-time, using the phone’s GPS. It also has an optical heart rate sensor (24/7 tracking), sleep tracking, and other well-designed modules that allow users to track their health state.

To track your exercise progress, there are 15+ exercise modes that allow for detailed monitoring of calories burnt, paces made, and so on. It’s also a good fit for swimmers since it is water-resistant for up to 50m.

When synchronized with your phone, Versa Lite behaves like a smartwatch, receiving notifications from various apps. You can even use it to reply to messages (for Android users) and scroll through emails.

Finally, Versa Lite is lightweight, durable, and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. It’s also slim and doesn’t feel bulky, so it can be used in casual situations as well.

In true Apple fashion, the Series 4 smartwatch has a beautiful design with round edges and smooth lines. Still, it does come with a few new features such as the larger display with less bezel, super high-speed connectivity, a louder speaker, and high and low heart-rate detection with an FDA-cleared ECG app for more detailed heart readings.

While the life battery is not something to write home about and its water resistance is not great, the watch is designed to help users improve their health. The low and high heart rate notification system is a very useful feature. Also, the watch can send an emergency SOS in case it detects something is wrong (great for adventurers who like to test their limits).

Apple Series 4 has automatic workout detection so you don’t have to set a bunch of annoying metrics every time you want to get moving. It also lets users enroll in activity competitions and share their progress (great for motivation).

As a smartwatch, it receives notifications, takes phone calls, and can be used for messaging. Of course, you can install apps and use Siri from a distance.

Overall, Series 4 is a gorgeous Apple smartwatch with the standard features and some workout and health tracking systems. It’s not as advanced as a dedicated fitness tracker, but it is great for people who want a device that will work at the office and at the gym.

In terms of design, Vivosmart HR is clearly a fitness band. The display is fully integrated into the strap which is comfortable and resistant to water and debris. Furthermore, the strap is easy to secure around the wrist due to the buckle closure, so there’s no risk of losing it.

The display is touch-sensitive and stays always on, displaying useful information according to the user’s settings. It’s visible in almost any lighting conditions and the entire device is water-resistant (resists splashes and you can take it in the shower).

In the strap, you’ll find a reliable heart rate sensor that helps Vivosmart track your activity level and general state of health. It also tracks steps, distance, intensity, and calories burnt and it communicates the data to your smartphone (via the Garmin Connect Mobile app) for interpretation and processing. There’s also a feature that reminds users to stay active using vibrations and a move bar notification.

Lastly, Vivosmart can also receive notifications from your smartphone (via Bluetooth), text, call notifications, and social media alerts.
