Best fitness tracker for 9 year old?

Can anyone advise which would be the best fitness tracker for a 9 year old please?

I want a make that’s going to last and is ideally waterproof. DD has a cheapo one from Amazon but it hasn’t lasted long (strap snapped).

I’ve looked at a few marketed for kids but they seem to be a bit ‘young’ for what I’m looking for. Thank you.

My 9 yr old has a Fitbit Ace, but the main advantage is he can enter challenges with other family members that have Fitbits.

The Vivo fit 4. It's waterproof and battery lasts a year so ideal for younger ones. My now 13 year old had one a few years back and the battery lasted 19 months or so - he grew out of it before it went!

We have gone for the Samsung fit e, cheap and cheerful (30 odd pound) because no doubt my dd will forget to wear/charge it after a few months.

We went for the Fitbit Ace2. We are actually a Garmin household with myself, DH, DS (14) and DD (12) all having Garmins, but when it came to the more junior ones the Fitbit is definitely better. If you want a basic Garmin then the forerunner 25 is your best bet. I felt it had functionality which my 9 year olds didn’t need however. (My 12 year old has one). The Fitbit Ace2 really is much better than the Ace and much less babyish than the Garmin Jnr Vivofit.

If you go to Argos there are also different colours available which aren’t available elsewhere. (Or there were when we bought in the summer when they were just launched)

My DD is very happy with her Ace2 too.

Brilliant, thank you all for your comments. It looks like the Ace 2 seems to be the winner for this age group. Now I’m hoping for a Black Friday deal Smile
