New Here - Wearable Technology Question

[Jen2517]

I am new here. Working on losing weight. I have lost almost 20lbs in 3mos. I am wanting to purchase one of those wearable technology wristbands like fitbit. I have looked at so many my head is swimming. I would like one that tracks steps, sleep and maybe has a clock on it. Anyone have any recommendations? I would like to stay under $150 if possible.

Why do you want one? I'm not sure what help those things really are. I don't know anyone that has increased their physical activity with one. Besides, my phone, which is now 2 years old, has a pedometer built in ... I think many do have this, so not sure what else you really need it for.

If you are dead set on getting one, I've heard that you have to spend quite a bit to get a decent one. I've heard good things about FitBit, but even then, the cheaper ones are not nearly as good as the top-end ones.
