description: Has your child got a fitness tracker on their wish list? Our reviewers share their expert buyers' advice to help you pick out the best models on the market.
encoded: This review was updated in September 2020. Fitness trackers can help motivate your child to get more active, and they don’t have to cost a fortune. There’s a big variety of trackers – some are ideal for kids who need to exercise more, others are designed to help the sportiest children monitor their progress. Here, we bring you our best buys, plus advice on how to get the most from a fitness tracker. What is a fitness tracker? A fitness tracker – usually worn as a wristwatch – is designed to monitor daily activities, counting steps and reminding you to move if you’ve been sedentary for too long. Kids’ versions are often more basic in terms of functions than those aimed at adults, but often feature fun games to encourage wearers to be active. Most will display some sort of celebration once your child hits their daily targets. More sophisticated trackers can do everything from measure your child’s heartbeat to monitor their sleep. However, fitness is a complex area, so we recommend using a tracker to complement a healthy lifestyle that includes a varied diet and plenty of exercise. Whatever your child’s hobbies and interests, it’s important they’re balanced against a positive and accepting body image. You may also want to assess whether the tracker is used just at home or during family activities, to avoid it becoming a distraction at school or other times. If you're looking for more ways to get your child excited about sport, check out our guide on how to host a sports day for kids as well as advice on a balanced diet for teenagers. Which fitness tracker should I buy? If your child is particularly sporty, they might enjoy a tracker with inbuilt GPS, so they can see the distance they've covered in cycles or runs. Look out for waterproof models if they're into swimming. Looks, of course, are very important if you’re buying for a fashion-conscious young person. Teenagers in particular may prefer watches that are indistinguishable from adult ones. Many trackers have custo…

description: If you love exercise or are a regular gym-goer, you’ll know the value of a good water bottle – it helps to keep you hydrated while you work out. We tested sports water bottles to bring you our top buys.
encoded: Along with workout gear and trainers, a water bottle is an important piece of kit to bring with you when you exercise. Sipping water during and after exercise is essential for keeping hydrated. A few years ago, gym-goers would have been seen clutching single-use disposable water bottles or plastic cups from the gym’s water cooler. But now, we are increasingly aware of plastic waste. We want a bottle we can use time and again, so it's important that it be durable. Before you buy, consider what you’ll be using it for – would a handle be useful for long runs? Or perhaps you’d like a bottle that keeps the water refreshingly cold. Here, we give you our favourite water bottles and explain which characteristics you should look for when purchasing one, based on your needs and preferences. Visit our product review section to find everything from the best personalised water bottles to fitness trackers, gadgets for health lovers and dishwasher tablets to a definitive guide on buying the best dishwasher. Sistema double-walled stainless steel bottle Latest Deals Best value sports water bottle Pros: Easy to use and clean No-fuss bottle Cons: No handle If you want a bottle that keeps your drink cold, doesn’t leak and doesn't leave that lingering ‘plastic’ taste, you’ll need to spend around a tenner or more. So we feel we’re justified in naming this our ‘best value’ bottle, despite it not being one of the cheapest. This eye-catching bottle comes in a variety of bold colours and ticks several boxes. The lid has an anti-slip ring at the top, making it very simple to twist on and off. It doesn’t have the widest opening, so you’d struggle to fill it with ice, but on the plus, you’re less likely to spill your drink over yourself. The 500ml capacity is a good middle-of-the-road size. The bottle has double-walled insulation, but still feels light. We checked the claims that it keeps your drink cold for 12 hours and hot for six, and it passed both with flying colours. As well as taking it …

Since we last reviewed fitness trackers two years ago, they have really moved on a pace. Today even more people can be seen with one on their wrist as they go about their everyday life. So, whether you want one to help you stick to a high-energy fitness regime or simply to measure how many steps you do in an average day, there’s now bound to be one out there to suit your particular needs. But these days, they don’t only just tell you how far you’ve walked or how fast you’ve run – they can give you some impressive statistic-based insights into your whole life. Many now record your heart rate or chart your breathing, so detect if you’re under stress or suggest what level of workout would suit you next. They can also tell you how well you’re sleeping and if you’re resting enough. All of this data instantly appears on your watch, or, by downloading an app, on your phone. Here’s our guide to the top 10 fitness trackers to help you find the one that’s right for you.
