Men like to exercise a certain way (just as women do) and there may be certain aspects of fitness that men like to track more than others. If you're looking for a Fitbit or looking for one to buy your guy, then these are your best choices!
Best for joggers
Fitbit Charge 3
The Charge 3 still comes with Fitbit's built-in PurePulse technology, which monitors and reports your heart rate while you're on the go. Plus, it can still monitor you're sleeping, so feel free to take that post-jog afternoon nap. You don't have to pull out your smartphone to check the time or see who's calling you because the Charge 3 has you covered with a tap-activated OLED display, which is much larger now, that will show you the time of day and call notifications as they come through.
Best for weightlifting and sports
Fitbit Versa
If you (or that special guy in your life) is out getting his swell on and super serial about shredding, or if he's hitting the links or the baseball diamond, he needs a Fitbit that can keep up with him. The Versa is just that— I mean, half the word "versatile" is in its name. The newest Fitbit is essentially a fitness-focused smartwatch, with a baked-in heart rate monitor, four-day battery life, and over 15 exercise modes, which let you track specific workouts, like running, biking, or weightlifting. You'll get real-time stats, as well as post-workout summaries, helping the guy in your life get a better overall picture of his health.
Most features
Fitbit Ionic
The Ionic is the powerhouse of the Fitbit lineup. It's Fitbit's smartwatch extraordinaire that comes complete with onboard GPS, a heart rate monitor, the ability to download all your favorite apps, and Fitbit's "Dynamic Personal Coaching," which will guide you, step by step, through workouts and routines that adapt based on your feedback. You can store music, the battery lasts for days, and there are tons of band options to help make this so much more than your fitness tracker.
Fitbit has been a leading force in the fitness tracker industry for years, and its excellent app and the online dashboard is fantastic to track all the important stats you need, regardless of what you do or how you like to get your sweat on.
For my money, I do more cardio than weightlifting so the Fitbit Charge 3 work just fine for me. I can track all the important day-to-day stats I need and even track my sleep with its battery that last about a week.
