r It's been a big couple of years for smart fitness trackers with smartwatches now incorporating most of the functions normally included in traditional fitness trackers as standard features in Android Wear, the Apple Watch and others.

I like the big screen and that all the relevant info is on my wrist.

F itness has become a huge seller in recent years. A quick glimpse at your Instagram feed and every third person out there is trying to make a living posting their latest regimes, workouts, guides, and numerous other videos, as well as an inordinate number of selfies.
