Welcome to Fit Gear Hunter
FIRST OFF - let me say that this site is being developed in real time - it's been a project I've been wanting to do for a while but am just now trying to get everything together. I'm going to develop content and updates all along the way - so don't write it off yet!
Best Lower Cost Trackers for Fitness Development to Date - Garmin 245, Polar Ignite, Suunto Fitness 3
Main Reviews will be Primarily Focused on HIIT, CrossFit, and Cross-Fitness Training.
Pages now organized by Company Name, then by Recently Released, other than Fitbit because they have so many devices (and they are less CrossFit capable - they are at the bottom.

What the heck actually works?Many fitness trackers contain Optical Heart Rate monitoring, but almost none accurately track the intensity and fluctuation of heart rate in a CrossFit or HIIT workout, and especially fail with the multiple exertions in and around the wrist.
|
What other features do I need?The main items of interest to most athletes are VO2 Max, relative intensity from one workout to the next, overall exercise load, and heart rate. Things like music, smart notifications, heart rate zones, compass, weather, stairs, and stress.
|
Where do I find it for the best price?There is always Amazon, electronic stores, and traditional online websites, but often times you can locate a good deal for a quality device through other means.
|
How do I track multiple movements? This is one of the greatest challenges. Why most of the devices on the planet just really track running and biking, I’ll never know, but finding a device that can estimate the value of lifting, load, power output, physical exertion on the body, etc is the biggest point of the search.

There are a million fitness trackers and smartwatches - which ones actually compile relevant data for monitoring your training, and more importantly your Intensity, Exertion, Recovery, and Load over time.
