What's the Best Fitness Watch for Your Mom?

Got a mom that’s a fitness geek? Get her a gift she will love, at a price you will love! Fitness watches can be expensive, but thanks to Back Market, you can get a refurbished fitness watch that’s anywhere from 30% to 70% off its original price.

Different fitness watches are better for different types of people. If your mom is an Apple fan and finds style as being of utmost importance, then an Apple Watch should probably be your default choice.

Is the Apple Watch the perfect fitness device? No. It falls short in the amount of data that is displayed in the native Activity app, so if your mom is serious about comparing various fitness statistics over time, the Apple Watch may not be the right device for her.

Are there third party apps that you can install to get the most out of your Apple Watch? Yes. Does the Apple Watch have accurate fitness monitoring sensors? Very much so. But there are other fitness trackers that will give you more workout data straight out of the box.

If you have a mom that really loves running and wants to get into the stats of how to further improve her pace, then we suggest looking for a Garmin watch.

Although Garmin watches are not as flashy as products released by Apple, they have a much more in-depth app that’s perfect for fitness geeks and data lovers.

Other less-known brands for fitness geeks to pay attention to: Polar, Suunto, and Coros.

Fitbit devices are known for being some of the best fitness trackers for those that want a general overview of their wellness. Fitbit has a fan base of health-focused users that adore these fitness watches for their well-designed app that performs health analysis (available on both Android and iPhone), stellar sleep tracking, and long battery life (about 1 week for most Fitbit devices).
