Fitness wearables have increased in prominence in 2021, due to nearly every company rushing to build products with blood oxygen measuring capabilities, a highly sought-after feature during the pandemic. A fitness tracker or smartwatch would be a terrific companion if your New Year's objective is to get in shape in 2022. Over the course of the year, we've examined a number of fitness trackers and smartwatches, and we've compiled a list of the best fitness products launched in 2021.
The Playfit Strength has a working capacity of up to 5 days with Bluetooth calling and a standby capacity of up to 7 days. After being fully charged in one go, the smartwatch can run for up to 5 days on a single charge. On the back of Ingression Protection (IP) code 67, this smartwatch can endure dust, water, and grime. Users can go for a carefree jog in the rain or utilise it during their gym sessions to fully explore the benefits of this watch.
Multiple sports modes, a round-the-clock heart rate tracker, a fitness tail, sleep monitoring capabilities, SpO2 supervisor, a specially developed female health tracker, and a vigilant inactivity-alert are all included in the Playfit Strength.
Customers can handle calls, messages, and other notifications without continually checking their devices with the Playfit Strength, which also has BlueTooth control features. Accept or deny calls, check call records or use dial pads, control music, alarms, take remote images, and read messages are all simple tasks for users. In fact, if customers misplace their iPhones, which occurs all very regularly, they may use these smartwatches to track them down.

The JBL Live 660NC Wireless are the best over-ear headphones for jogging. These well-made over-ear headphones offer a secure fit and should comfortably stay in place throughout moderate exertion such as a run. They offer a 'Ambient Aware' mode that allows you to hear your environment while listening to audio, which is useful when running outside.
They offer simple physical controls that let you quickly switch between ANC and 'Ambient Aware' mode, as well as increase the volume, change the track, and answer calls. Their default sound setting adds a little additional punch and boom to keep you psyched up as you workout, and their over 24 hours of continuous battery life means you won't have to recharge after each run.
Unfortunately, you may find that they cling to your head too tightly, especially if you wear them for long durations. Their ANC apparently has trouble blocking out low-frequency noises like rumbling bus and airline engines, however this may not be an issue if you wish to hear your surroundings while running. Overall, if you prefer over-ear headphones for jogging, their sturdy fit and lengthy continuous battery life make them a good choice.

Fitbit Charge 5™ is Fitbit's most advanced health and fitness tracker, helps you keep a pulse on your fitness, stress, heart health, sleep, and overall wellbeing in a thinner, sleek design with a brighter, colour touchscreen and up to seven days of battery life (varies with use). Ten percent thinner than its predecessor, Charge 5 has an aerodynamic design and is optimized for performance and engineered for a seamless fit. With a new AMOLED colour display, Charge 5 is the first tracker with an always-on display option for added convenience to see your stats or while training.
With Fitbit Premium's new Daily Readiness experience (coming soon) to Charge 5, as well as Sense, Versa 3, Versa 2, Luxe, and Inspire 2 devices, you can understand if your body is ready for a workout or if you should prioritize recovery instead. Each morning, you'll receive a score based on your fitness fatigue (activity), heart rate variability (HRV), and recent sleep. You'll also get an analysis of what impacted your score, and suggestions like a recommended target Active Zone Minutes goal, along with Premium content to help you make the best decisions for your body. Charge 5 also includes built-in GPS, 20 exercise modes, automatic exercise recognition, and an estimate of your V02 max. Plus, with Premium, you can access more than 200 workouts from certified trainers and popular brands like Daily Burn, barre3, obé and new high-energy workouts from LES MILLS.
With Charge 5 you also get a Stress Management Score in the Fitbit app, so you can see each morning if you're mentally ready to take on more challenges, or if you need to recharge. With Premium, you get access to more than 300 meditation and mindfulness sessions from brands and experts, like Ten Percent Happier, Mindful Method by Deepak Chopra, and Calm to help you manage your stress.
Fitbit is also helping you prioritize your heart health. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the world's most common heart rhythm condition, and since launching the ECG app on Sense, users have taken more than four million assessments. The ECG app will be available soon on Charge 5, bringing a critical tool to more people at a more approachable price. Charge 5 also tracks your heart rate 24/7 and provides notifications when you are above or below your range, and while many factors can affect your heart rate, a high or low heart rate may be an indication of a heart condition that requires medical attention.
