How can a fitness tracker be sexy?
I know what you're thinking: how can some rectangular rubber wristband be a hot accessory? How can I turn heads with a medical device strapped to my person? Strap in, because the fitness tracker game has changed. Companies such as Fitbit and Misfit, among others, have realized that if you're going to be wearing a tracker all day long, you probably want it to be at least a little fashionable.
If you're serious about fitness, you're going to want you fitness tracker to be as accurate as possible. If you want your fitness tracker to be as accurate as possible, you're going to want to wear it all day. If you're going to wear it all day, you're going to want to be able to take it out on the town, wine it and dine it.
With customizable watch faces, wristbands, and colors, up your fitness fashion game with some of the sexiest fitness trackers out there!
Now you got it. Here we go!
Fitbit Flex
The Flex is one of Fitbit's standard trackers. It comes with a rubber wristband, in ten different colors, and is essentially a rectangular wristband with a little translucent section, you can see the progress lights. It looked pretty run-of-the-mill, that is until Tory Burch got her hands on it!
American fashion designer, Tory Burch, has collaborated with Fitbit to bring you her line of Fitbit Flex accessories, making the Flex one of the most fashion-conscious of the fitness trackers.
Her line ranges from affordable rubber covers for your Flex to pricy gold bands and even necklaces.
They got rose gold, white gold, yellow gold, and silver. They got metal bands, leather bands, metallic leather bands, and double-wrap bands. You want it? They got it! Unless you're a dude. Then you're sort of out of luck, since the Burch line is more geared toward women.
Keep in mind that you need to buy the Fitbit Flex separately, as the accessories don't come with the tracker. The Tory Burch line ranges from $38 to $195, so make sure you're committed to the $99.99 Flex before doubling down.
Misfit Shine
The Misfit Shine is Misfit's entry into the fashionable fitness tracker market. They claim "elegance with practicality," at which the Shine… shines…
It starts with your choice of nine band colors—as basic as it gets for the Shine. And, in terms of what's in store, that's super basic.
The next step up comes in the form of two styles of leather band, a metal mesh band, and lovely stretchy ribbon bands. The Shine even has two necklace options, the Bloom and the Sport.
You want truly fashionable? Misfit steps up their game even further by partnering with Swarovski, to bring you five Crystal Activity bands and an Activity necklace. These are truly fitness trackers that you could wear to a black tie event and no one would bat an eyelash.
They aren't even that expensive, starting at $69.
Leaf by Bellabeat
Another one for the ladies, the Leaf by Bellabeat is just plain lovely. It's shaped like a leaf, just like its name would suggest, and easily clips to sports bras, tank tops, shorts, etc., while also being a wearable for your wrist and neck!
The Leaf comes in two color combinations: silver stainless steel with beige American ashwood and rose gold-plated stainless steel with African blackwood. All of their steel is hypoallergenic.
When I said one for the ladies, I was not playing fast and loose. The Leaf tracks your menstrual cycle and gives you ovulation alerts and pill reminders. Sorry dudes, I can't even spin this into something unisex.
The Leaf is $119.99 for the beige and silver and $149.99 for black and rose gold.
Withings Activité
Finally, one for the boys. Really, the Withings Activité is unisex, but it totally has accessories for men.
At first glance, there isn't really anything about the Activité that would suggest "fitness tracker." It's essentially a watch face, with a leather band, but it tracks steps, distance, calories burned, sleep, and more.
The Activité is a combination of French design and Swiss manufacturing, giving it that chic European look that we all find so sultry and desirable.
It's not just a pretty face, though, with sweet features like automatic time zone changes and water-resistance up to 50 meters. So, when you swim from New York to Dublin, you'll be covered the whole way!
Fashion does come at a price; the Withings Activité retails for $450, so you'll want to save your pennies for jumping in on this one. However, if you're ready for a gorgeous, Swiss-made watch, with activity and sleep tracking to boot, then go for it!
Already have a fitness tracker?
So, it would only seem right that while we're on the journey to lookin' good, we look as fly as we can. Look good, feel good, right? For a lot of athletes, visualizing themselves completing a lap or sinking a basket is a huge part of their game and their success. You might as well start seeing yourself as hot stuff while on your way to trimming the fat.
Adorn your temple!
I can't afford Swarovski crystal fitness trackers
Don't worry, neither can I. And honestly, why would want expensive crystals on your wrist while you're pulling mad reps? I know, you wear Swarovski when you want to track yourself, but aren't exercising. Well then let's all have three fitness trackers for every mood!
No. You can pimp out your fitness tracker with some inexpensive accessories and even some do-it-yourself strategies. Let's have a gander!
The cover-up
So you went for a tracker that doesn't really scream, "sex appeal." It might be a bit clunky or it may just be one of those monotone rectangles that lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.
That's ok! You can get some nifty bands to cover up and spice up your tracker.
Scunci Fitness Tracker
Scunci has jumped on board the fitness tracker fashion train and created a hairband that also holds your fitness tracker! You can wear it in your hair or on your wrist and you'd never know you were being tracked.
Create your own
You could just as easily hit up the drugstore, grab some colored pro-wrap, and boom. Wrap up your tracker and bedazzle that sucker and you're flying in fitness style!
