Are you looking to buy a fitness tracker in the UK?
We've combined product ratings from Amazon UK, Argos, John Lewis and Tesco and created a Top 5 for you to consider.
We discovered around 350 different models for sale at these trusted shops.
This report will show you established and reliable fitness trackers, performing as expected. All based on owner rating scores.
This ratings-driven view of the market often highlights unexpected models for sale. It can also steer you away from a 'bestseller' - if ratings suggest poor performance.
Ratings in the Top 5 begin at 4.2 stars
Prices range from £44 to £189
How does it work?
We begin by building a list of fitness trackers with more than 50 ratings. This jumps straight to established products. We can see how they've actually performed over time, according to owners.
We remove any fitness trackers with less than a 4 star rating. We now have a list of the higher rated models, with a credible amount of opinion.
After sorting the product list by ratings, we publish this Top 5.
