Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

I don't care to have anything on my wrist. But I want to start tracking steps, especially over winter, to prompt myself into enough daily activity. So I'm going to try a ~$50 fitness tracker on my wrist and see how that goes. If I can get past the annoyance at having something on my wrist, I may shop around for a full smartwatch, or more likely wait for the next gen or two. I am deeply unimpressed with the size and battery life of the flagship smartwatches right now.

I miss regular old pedometers. My old Fitbit One was awesome. I hate having crap on my wrists these days.
