Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best fitness trackers in 2025?

Top fitness trackers include Apple Watch Series 9, Fitbit Charge 6, and Garmin Forerunner series. Each excels at continuous health monitoring, heart rate tracking, and activity metrics.

How do AI fitness apps compare to fitness trackers?

AI apps excel at workout-specific tracking (rep counting, form analysis) using computer vision. Trackers excel at continuous health monitoring (heart rate, sleep, steps). They serve different purposes.

Which is better for rep counting: trackers or AI apps?

AI apps are significantly more accurate for rep counting because they use visual analysis. Fitness trackers estimate based on motion sensors, which is less precise for complex exercises.

Do I need both a fitness tracker and an AI app?

Not necessarily. If you only need workout tracking, an AI app is sufficient. If you want 24/7 health monitoring, a tracker adds value. Many people use both for comprehensive tracking.

What is the cost difference?

Fitness trackers cost $200-500+ upfront. AI apps cost $10-20/month. For workout tracking specifically, AI apps are more cost-effective. For comprehensive health monitoring, trackers may be worth the investment.

Can AI apps track heart rate like fitness trackers?

Some AI apps can use your phone's camera for heart rate, but it's not as accurate or convenient as continuous wearable monitoring. For heart rate, fitness trackers are superior.
