Fitness Tracker (Fitbit Inspire 3)

A slim wrist band that counts steps, tracks sleep and heart rate, and lasts about ten days on a charge. The Inspire 3 is the plain, reliable one without a smartwatch's price or bulk.

• Steps, sleep, heart rate
• About 10 days a charge
• Water resistant

Why you’d want it: Steps are the cheapest fat-loss tool there is and cost no muscle; a number on the wrist is what makes seven thousand a day actually happen. Sleep tracking is the bonus most people end up using more.

Picking tip: Set one goal, steps, and ignore the rest for the first month; the app will try to give you six. Wear it a finger-width above the wrist bone or the heart-rate reading wanders. The free app does everything the guide on this site needs; the paid membership is optional.
