You've probably read a lot about fitness bracelets, which are pretty much in vogue right now. This is because they not only motivate movement by, for example, monitoring the achievement of certain goals (10.000 steps a day should be enough, leave the car standing more often!) - the fitness wristbands also monitor body functions and sleep phases and draw the most important data. For this, of course, they need apps that should give the user an overview of his physical functions and success curves. But which fitness bracelets are compatible with the iPhone and can be used particularly well with it?

Which fitness tracker do you use?
I would like to know what your experience is with activity tools? Do you use bracelets or trackers, do you have favorite models (if so, why this one?), Or do you move enough by yourself? Leave a comment!

Hallo,
Fitbit fitness bracelets are also compatible with the iPhone. I use the Fitbit Flex myself.
After more than 9 months of experience, I can say that for me personally it is the best fitness bracelet.
For me, it wasn't the functions that were decisive, as all fitness bracelets offer almost the same functions (e.g. I didn't want a wristband with pulse measurement), but the design, wearing comfort, the price and above all the APP.
My goal was to lose weight and so I not only wanted to evaluate the calories consumed, but also to record the calories I consumed.
You can do that very well with the Fitbit app.
If you want, you can also connect the app to the MyFitnesPal APP. Also good, you can record additional sporting activities in which the bracelet is not worn.
