>> WE'RE BACK, 6:42.
ASIDE FROM HELPING YOU GET INTO
SHAPE, FITNESS TRACKERS ARE
ALSO TRENDING FOR STYLE.
>> WITH SO MANY AVAILABLE,
WHICH IS THE BEST FOR YOUR
WORKOUT GOALS.
WE WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER
USED ONE BEFORE.
GO TO CLICK2VOTE.COM.
NOW LET'S GET IT OVER TO HALEY
HERNANDEZ, A FITNESS TRACKER
WEARER.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, I SURE AM.
THE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES
MONITORED VARY BY TRACKER.
THEY CAN INCLUDING NUMBER OF
STEPS, CALORIES CONSUMED, HOURS
THAT YOU SLEEP AND YOUR HEART
RATE, BUT ARE THEY DOING A GOOD
JOB BY HELPING YOU STAY FIT OR
ARE THEY JUST TAKING YOUR MONEY?
HEART RATE MONITORS,
PEDOMETERS, G.P.S. LOCATIONS,
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
WHERE YOUR HEALTH STANDS WITH
THE FLICK OF A WRIST.
THIS GARMIN VIVO LIKE DR. LINDA
LEE IS WEARING HAS A GYROSCOPE
TO DETERMINE IF YOU'RE
STANDING, RUNNING, SWIMMING,
BIKING TO MAKE TRACKING YOUR
MAO UFMGTS ACCURATE.
MOVEMENTS ACCURATE.
29 TRACKERS WERE TESTED FOR
ACCURACY.
THE VIVA CAME IN 16th WITH A
SCORE OF 65.
FITBIT SURGE RANKED NUMBER ONE
WITH A SCORE OF 87.
IT'S ALSO THE MOST EXPENSIVE.
PRICE TAG, $250.
>> PEOPLE TEND TO OVERESTIMATE
AND THEY THINK THAT, OH, YEAH,
I WALKED SO MUCH AT WALK.
I DON'T NEED TO EXERCISE.
BUT THEN WHEN THEY ACTUALLY
HAVE A TRACKING DEVICE, THEY
LOOK AT THE STEPS AND THEY'RE
LIKE, OH, THAT'S NOT THAT MUCH
AT ALL.
>> SO WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU BUY?
CONSUMER REPORTS SAY DON'T PAY
FOR MORE FEATURES THAN YOU'LL
USE.
DEVICES RANGE FROM 50 TO $250.
ALL-DAY TRACKERS SIMPLY COUNT
HOW MANY STEPS YOU TAKE AND
CALORIES BURNED.
TRAINING TRACKERS DO THAT PLUS
GIVE YOU DETAILS ON SPEED AND
PACE AND CAN BE TAILORED TO
YOUR FAVORITE SPORT PERFORM
AFTER THAT, YOU CAN LOOK AT
STYLE AND BATTERY LIFE, BUT
KEEP IN MIND, CONSUMER REPORTS
SAYS THESE TRACKERS USE SENSORS
AND ALGORITHMS GAUGE WORKOUTS
SO THE PRECISION IS NOT
PERFECT, EVEN WITH ONES THAT
INCLUDE HEART RATE MONITORING.
>> IF TIE NOT IN THE RIGHT
POSITION, IT MIGHT NOT BE
ACCURATE.
IT'S NOT HOW MUCH IS MY HEART
RATE, HOW HIGH IS IT GOING WHEN
I'M EXERCISING, BUT IT'S MORE
JUST KIND OF MORE OF A
MOTIVATIONAL TOOL.
>> AND DON'T FORGET TO THINK
ABOUT WATER.
CONSUMER REPORTS SAYS IF
SWIMMING IS PART OF YOUR
WORKOUT, MAKE SURE IT'S
WATERPROOF.
THE GOAL OF THE TRACKERS
WORLDWIDE IS WORKING.
PEOPLE ARE MOVING.
>> IT KIND OF JUST SERVES AS A
LITTLE NUDGE TO PUSH YOU TO BE
MORE ACTIVE AND MORE HEALTHY.
>> SOME ACTIVITY TRACKERS LET
YOU THINK WITH EXTERNAL HEART
MONITORS, BATHROOM SCALES AND
OTHER DEVICES, AND THAT LINK
MAKES THESE READINGS A LITTLE
MORE PRECISE.
ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO CHOOSE
ONE THAT ACTUALLY MATCHES WITH
YOUR PHONE, APPLE OR ANDROID,
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THE FITNESS
TRACKER APP TOO.
THEN THEY SAY THAT SOME DON'T
EVEN WORK WITH WINDOWS, SO
THA ISH THAT MAKE SURE THAT
YOU KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU BUY.
I LIKE MINE.
WE WERE TALKING, IF IT DOESN'T
HAVE A G.P.S., IT'S NOT ALWAYS
ACCURATE AND, I MEAN.
>> WELL, THOSE ARE THE FEATURES
THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU'RE GETTING.
>> UNLESS YOU'RE JUST WANTING
CALORIES AND STEPS, WHICH IS
GOOD, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO LOSE
WEIGHT OR START EXERCISING.
BUT IF YOU'RE A SERIOUS
ATHLETE, I WOULD GO FOR ONE
WITH A G.P.S. OR HEART RATE
MONITOR.
>> GOOD TO KNOW.
THAT'S OUR QUESTION, TOO,
TODAY, HAVE YOU EVER WORN ONE
OR ARE YOU WEARING ONE.
MOST PEOPLE ARE SAYING YES.
>> THEY'RE SO IN RIGHT NOW.
TRENDY.
EVERYBODY HAS ONE.
>> YOU GO TO A COCKTAIL PARTY,
PEOPLE ARE ALL STANDING THERE
COMPARING THEIR STATS.
>> LIKE DR. LEE, PEOPLE JUST
LIKE TO BRAG ABOUT IT.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT MY MOM
HATES.
SHE GETS THE ONES THAT HIDE
BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT WITH ANYBODY ELSE.
