Today in 2020 when I look back fitness wearables are not just for sportspersons or nor they are just symboling to show off but this innovation is a normal trend and wear which has even replaced a traditional watch from our wrists. People are fitness conscious and Fitbit and similar gadgets are the necessary trackers for us.

Indeed, arguably it wasn’t until activity tracker company Fitbit (only created in 2007) decided to evolve its technology to create a fitness tracker that you could wear on your wrist – the 2013 Fitbit Flex – that the wearable market really took off for the mainstream consumer.

Since then there have been numerous Fitbit wearables, as well as many other high-caliber fitness trackers and smartwatches. These trackers are so much a part of our lives as they have made and helped to make our daily routines healthier and better, encouraging and empowering them to live healthier.
