If you already have an Android phone then I would recommend a smartwatch running WearOS. The native built-in functionality of Google Fit in tandem with your Android phone is amazing. I can track my sleep schedule, heart rate, steps walked, calories burned, get a visual map breakdown for my morning walks showing my 1 mile,2 mile,3 mile marks etc all through Google Fit

I don't have an opinion on Samsung smartwatchs. I use Fossil gen 5 carlyle HR men's watch. 10/10 I strongly recommend it

I have fitbit and all is fine, except its is definitely overestimating calories burned. By about 30% id say. Its the main reason why I got it so I wish now I would have done more research

OP - do you mean the device or the app? For device, I’d lean refurbished Apple Watch (for usability and cost) and the UI for the activity app is great. For purely app, I’ve heard good things about the FitBit UI

Device, and I'm not an apple user.

I have had a Fitbit for 3 years and I have no complaints, I love it. I have the version that isn’t techy and more for fitness. I just bought the new Apple Watch as I wanted to add that level of tech to it. I still would recommend Fitbit if someone was looking to get one

Just switched from fitbit to withings steel hr and I'm very happy with it. I have a small wrist so all of the smart watches looked ridiculous on me. The withings looks super professional.
