Looking for a basic and cheap fitness tracker

Im not interested in a smart watch that tracks heart rate, sleep etc, all I want is a simple step counter and distance tracker that doesn’t require any complicated setup or an app to link to - and I don’t want to spend more than £30 tops. Any suggestions or recommendations? 😊

Your phone does it already. Can you have it on you?

Happydaze2 · 17/12/2024 21:56

I want it mainly for my runs and walks and don’t take my phone when exercising so really looking for a watch…

For safety I would advise taking your phone when you're running or walking. I'm fairly sure you'll struggle to even get a second hand watch with built-in GPS. Buy a waist belt and use Strava on your phone and a cheap fitbit or pedometer if you want to count steps.

A cheap fitbit or a basic garmin, you might need to up your budget the kids ones are about £50.

Clip on pedometers are less than £10

I bought a TIKKERS. They’re for teenagers so they’re cheaper than the adult ones and simpler. £20 or 30 with EarPods

I’ve got a basic Fitbit now (Inspire from memory). It was about £40 from memory. Charge lasts ten days.

I’ve moved away from an Apple Watch recently as I didn’t want the intrusion or the hassle of charging it every day.

I'm looking for similar OP, think I'm going to go for fitbit inspire. I can't see it for any less than £50 though.

You can pick up a 2nd hand fitbit for £30 or less on ebay

You’re right @MissyB1 , I’ve looked and I paid £58 not £40.

i do like it though. I wear it on my right and have started wearing my nice watches again on my left. I stopped wearing them.
