Google Fit was not much to write home about when it first appeared in 2014, but it is slowly gaining features and additional features over time, and there are now dozens of applications and portable gadgets that plug directly into the platform offered by Google.
Google Fit is primarily focused on the collection of statistics – the activity, sleep, weight and so on – rather than providing the comprehensive, all-in-one view of your health and medical records that Apple Health want to be. Fit is more basic, but it is easier to use.
The Google Fit app is free to download for free Android devices and once you have it and running, it can use the sensors in your phone to track your progress. You can also manually add activities or use one of the following applications or gadgets for work instead.

Fossil Q Founder is my first smart watch and so far I really do like her. I finally went with the Q because of the Intel Atom processor paired with 1GB of RAM and internal speaker. (Speaker currently inactive) It has the highest specifications of all Android Wear watch and I feel it was a better investment / proof no future.

Basis Peak
This is not the best fitness tracker out there, but if you care more stats and monitoring as aesthetics, the base peak has you covered: one of its best features is the tracker integrated heart rate, and it has more sensors than most wearables.
I am extremely satisfied with this product; monitoring, measurement, application and content extremely strong online (via mybasis.com) are superior and better than anything since, I have tried in the past. Again, you have to wear it properly (tight, but it should not be so tight that the tape leaves traces on your skin) Basis and if does not deliver on their promises software updates (notifications and activities, etc. ) I will definitely be updating my review / star ratings accordingly!

Xiaomi Mi Band Pulse
If you do not want to shell out hundreds of pounds on a tracker then this laptop Xiaomi will the foundation for much, much less. Okay, the supplied application is not the best in the world, but you can work around this by synchronizing all your data to Google Fit instead.
The software “Mi Fit” is actually pretty decent, better than the multiple applications of HR software I currently have. MAJOR positive … it syncs to Google Fit is a huge and very rare case. My other HRM precise and expensive super wrist does not synchronize to a different application, which really limits its value. For me, being able to visualize and analyze data, is really the most important aspect of having a fitness tracker. Want to know how you are doing over time. Am I getting better or worse? Seeing the data over time in graphical form is really useful vs. see a number for the day.
