What are your views on fitness? Do you take it seriously? Are you aware of devices that help you keep track on your health and fitness?

Brief Summary

The millennial generation is quite particular when it comes to health and fitness as they don’t want to leave any stone unturned to be in good shape as long as possible. It is our duty to look after our body, which is the basic factor to be in sound health even when age catches up.

There are many health issues prevalent in the society that people fall prey to right from a young age and a primary reason for it is their poor eating habits and hygiene apart from never eating and drinking healthy stuff.

Nowadays, the three basic necessities essential for survival- food, water, and oxygen, have become replete with pollutants due to which you need to be particular in what you eat and drink, which the millennials understand better than anyone and take the necessary steps to plan everything from the beginning.

It isn’t enough to exercise in the gym for several hours and build rippling muscles because if your diet is not up to the mark, then it doesn’t matter how long that you exercise or how ripped your physique is.

On top of that, the nationwide lockdown due to Covid-19 in early 2020 lasted for nearly two years and this was the period when everyone was confined to their homes and started working from there itself.

Working from home is fine to a certain extent but it can definitely have a negative impact on your health due to the sedentary lifestyle your body becomes accustomed to. This is why fitness trackers are important for everyone as they help keep our health routines in check.

Fortunately, the demand for fitness wearables has increases in the past few years, with 2022 being arguably the best year for fitness smartwatches and we are going to look at some of the best ones in the market.

  • Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6- Another good smartwatch that comes at an affordable price that comes with a 1.56 inch AMOLED display screen with features that boast of SpO2 tracking, continuous HR, sleep tracking, heartrate, waterproof up to 50m, and 30 sport modes
  • Garmin Venu 2- While all of the aforementioned smartwatches are significant in their own way, Garmin is considered the leader of fitness wearables because it isn’t just confined to health and fitness features but is a good model for travelling aficionados as well, which include mountaineering, rock climbing, trekking, etc. and comes with a built-in GPS as well. It comes with a 1.3 inch AMOLED display.
    • Samsung Galaxy Watch 4- An android model that comes with a 1.4 inch display, this is considered by many to be the best option Google has to offer but a major drawback with it is that it doesn’t work with an iPhone but it can be done through other Android devices. Its features include ECG, SpO2, blood oxygen measurements, among others
      • Fitbit Sense- It comes with a 1.59-inch AMOLED display screen and is considered one of the best fitness trackers that Fitbit has to offer, which perfectly understands your body and mind because it is designed in that way. It can easily detect rapid heartbeat due to the ECG sensor it comes equipped with, along with many tracking options through which you can monitor your daily activities but it is the stress monitoring feature is that most people like about it
