I’If you spend your life working at a desk—like most of us do—physical activity can be hard to come by organically.

That’s why fitness trackers are so popular: They sit on your wrist and remind you to get up and actually move around once in a while. Some do that by telling you you’ve been sedentary too long, and others do it silently by showing you have many (or few) steps you’ve taken today. Only you can determine which kind is right for you—and of course, there’s much more to a good fitness tracker than step-counting. Check out these fitness trackers and what they have to offer.
