It’ll automatically kick into gear when you start running, walking, rowing or training on an elliptical, although if you head outdoors for a run you’ll find the lack of GPS may mean some inaccuracies unless you take your phone with you. Whatever your chosen exercise, there’s a very good chance it has you covered, with one hundred sports profiles that cover a huge number of specialist sports (although, strangely not indoor cycling at the time of writing).

Read our full Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 review Despite its high-quality touchscreen display and impressive range of features, Xiaomi has managed to keep the price down and make the Mi Smart Band 5 feel much more expensive than it is. While full onboard GPS is more convenient and setting up 'connected GPS' on your phone is a little clumsy, the incredibly low price of the Smart Band 5 means we don't feel short-changed. Plus, you can use it to control music playback on your phone with a tap and a swipe. The crisp color display (one of the best you'll find on a device this size) also shows notifications, weather reports and app notifications. It's not as good as the one-year Inspire 2 subscription, but the new features are probably just enough to justify getting the updated model.Īlthough now superseded by the Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6, which is currently sitting pretty at number three in this listing, the Mi Smart Band 5 features a new, brighter screen, 24/7 activity tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, 11 different sport modes, and the ability to record outdoor cardio sessions by connecting to your phone's GPS.

Like other Fitbit devices, this cheap fitness tracker comes with a free one-year subscription to Fitbit Premium, which gives you access to instructor-led workouts, meditation sessions, and nutrition plans. You can check these out later in the Fitbit app and even sync them to other apps like Strava. The Fitbit Inspire 3 doesn't have its own built-in GPS chip, but it can piggyback on your phone's GPS to accurately track and map runs, walks and bike rides as long as they aren't too far apart. It can guide you through breathing exercises, score your cardio fitness level, and track your sleep stages each night. The Inspire 3 measures steps and heart rate throughout the day, and the Fitbit Inspire 3 also tracks heart rate variability and stress, how long you spend in different heart rate zones during workouts, and your breathing rate.

Read on for our pick of the best cheap fitness trackers you can buy today. If you’re interested features beyond fitness tracking, like access to apps and notifications on your wrist, you may find you'd be better suited to one of the best smartwatches instead.

The only notable difference between these best cheap fitness trackers and more expensive options is you may have to sacrifice one or two features and consider what's a priority to you. However, if you’re serious about running, take a look at our best running watches picks instead. Many offer always-on heart rate tracking, and some have built-in GPS, which makes them a perfect running companion. The data you can track on your fitness tracker is different depending on which device you're using. Some are, surprisingly, packed with insightful metrics, others are incredibly comfortable, some boast a brilliant battery and most are easy-to-use for complete beginners. Although you won't find the advanced tech or high-end features of more expensive devices in this best cheap fitness trackers guide, we've tested a range of trackers and smartwatches over the years and each option in this list has been selected for a reason.
