IFA 2018: Which of the latest fitness trackers would best suit your needs?

Blood oxygen sensors, stress trackers, and swim-proof designs are but some of the features these new fitness trackers are offering.

by AFP Relaxnews   /   September 4, 2018

While many of the latest fitness trackers, on display now at international tech show IFA in Berlin, have similar sensors and features, they cater to different groups of health-conscious individuals who are looking to track their swimming workout, better monitor their stress or provide valuable information on trail expeditions.

For those keen on tracking their health and fitness, the good news is that most of the latest wearables will be able to give a user’s heart rate, calculate calories burned during various workout modes, map out the morning run and pay for the coffee on the way back. That said, a few newbies – from Fitbit, Garmin and Casio – are bringing something extra to gym-goers, hiking fanatics, swimmers and those striving for a healthy life balance.

Now featuring a wrist-based a blood oxygen sensor  – Pulse-Ox – this wearable will tell you if you’re ready for a workout, or if more rest is required.
