What Are The Best Fitness Trackers for Runners?

If you are a runner, you are likely interested in the latest technological devices like fitness trackers that gauge your performance and health. What are the best fitness trackers for runners that have hit the market over the last few years?

Fitbit Flex

Widely considered to be the best overall fitness tracker on the market, the Fitbit Flex bracelet is designed with an internal accelerator that helps you monitor your health and running performance. It measures the number of calories that you burn during your runs, how many steps you take, the distance that you cover and much more. All of your fitness data can be delivered to your smartphone app in a moment's notice. The Fitbit Flex has Bluetooth functionality to provide iPhone owners with the option of directing call alerts directly to the bracelet. This is the perfect fitness tracker for runners who are focused on losing weight as well as those who have the simple goal of living a more active life.

Basis Science Basis B1 Band

Those who pride themselves on having the coolest tech devices will love this fitness tracker. It provides more information than most competing products. The only downside is its egregiously large size. The B1 Band is chock full of advanced features that measure all sorts of information about your personal biology. It measures your skin temperature, perspiration level, heart rate and more. It is even programmed with a “healthy habits” game that offers reward points for reaching fitness milestones.

Misfit Shine

This fitness tracker just might be the most aesthetically pleasing device on the market. It actually resembles a piece of jewelry. Yet this diminutive tracker tells you all sorts of health and fitness information like the number of steps that you have taken, the number of calories that you have burned and the total distance that you have covered during your run. It comes with a watch battery that lasts up to four months without requiring a recharge. It is extremely comfortable to wear compared to those bulky rubber wristbands that other fitness aficionados wear around the clock.
