Keep track of your fitness goals with Google Fit and these accessories.
When you begin your search for the very best Google Fit accessories, you'll be met with tons of choices. A free platform available across Android and iOS, Google Fit is a great way to keep track of your long-term health, fitness data, eating habits, weight, and sleep data.
But for the most accurate Google Fit results, you need wearables, smart scales, and other workout tools to monitor your health progress. You'll want to start your search by finding the best Android smartwatch for health/fitness tracking, but some users might prefer more basic accessories. Whatever the case may be, we've got options for you.
The best fitness accessories for Google Fit
Why you can trust Android Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
Best fitness smartwatch
The Galaxy Watch 5 is an excellent watch with Wear OS 3 support, giving you the best software to pair with an Android phone. It uses Samsung Health by default but you can install Google Fit or automatically sync your SH data to Fit. This watch's respectable battery life, smooth performance, and useful health sensors make this a great choice to pair with Google Fit for exercise.
Tipping the scales
Our top pick for the best smart scale available, the eufy P1 calculates fourteen different health metrics, including body fat, water percentage, and muscle mass. Since getting all that data is as easy as stepping on the scale, you get a more accurate picture of your health over time. And it'll send that data automatically to Google Fit through eufy's app.
Basic fitness band
One of the best fitness trackers that'll cost hundreds less than smartwatches with similar features, the Amazfit Band 7 tracks your heart rate and stress continuously, has tons of sports modes, and lasts 1-2 weeks easily per charge. Plus, your health and fitness data can automatically transfer over to Google Fit once you set it up.
Get healthy (and Fit)
One of the latest Wear OS watches to hit the market is the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition. Not only will this watch work seamlessly with Google Fit, but it'll look good doing it. Its rotating crown is excellent for navigation when your fingers are sweaty from a workout. It has continuous heart rate monitoring, VO2 Max, and SpO2 tracking, plus a revamped Wellness app. It also offers many smartwatch perks as part of its update to Wear OS 3.
Stellar performance
If you're a Wear OS fan, but you've been waiting for better performance at a fair price, consider the TicWatch E3. You get a great set of perks, including GPS, activity/sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, Google Assistant, and Google Pay. Plus, your workout data will go straight into Google Fit. We're frustrated that it hasn't received Wear OS 3 as promised yet, but we can hope it will soon.
More data
The Withings Body Cardio happens to be one of the most informative smart scales available on the market. It can measure the "regular" metrics such as your weight and trends, but the Body Cardio takes things a step further. With this smart scale, you'll also be able to measure things like your heart rate and even your vascular age. It syncs with Google Fit, obviously, so you can stay on top of your improving fitness levels.
Bring your phone
Perhaps you're not interested in buying a smartwatch, and that's okay! An armband is the best way to keep your phone in place during a workout, so you at least get GPS data and music to keep you pumped. This one features a reflective strip, so you remain visible in the dark. It will fit all the latest phones with screens between 4 and 7 inches. Finally, there's a small pocket for your keys, debit card, or other small accessories.
Play some tunes
If you're like most athletes, you need some tunes to keep you moving. Jabra's Elite 7 Active earbuds will do just that, and are designed for sweaty fitness with an excellent IP57 rating. You have physical buttons for quick song skips without pulling out your phone, a comfortable fit, and a smooth, bass-heavy audio profile.
Keep it charged
Not all of the best Google Fit accessories are things you wear or bring with you. One of the best car chargers, this Elecjet dual charger will keep your phone, watch, or earbuds case charged on the drive to and from your workout. Other chargers do the same, but we appreciate the dual USB-A and USB-C ports for more versatility.
Time to get fit
Tracking key aspects of your health and fitness doesn't have to be difficult. What's more, you can make this task easier with the right tools. Between a fitness smartwatch, a smart scale, and a good old-fashioned tape measure, you'll be well on your way to monitoring your progress with Google Fit. Of course, you may want a cheap fitness tracker like the Amazfit Band 7 instead, if you want to avoid a high cost out of the gate.
When it comes to the best Google Fit accessories, what you really need are workout accessories to go with your main hardware. You can buy some workout earbuds like the Jabra Elite 7 Active to keep yourself pumped up while you work out. Or if you want the most accurate health results possible, you could buy an actual heart rate monitor strap in place of a tracker or watch.
It's worth noting that these are just a few of the best Google Fit accessories you can buy that make it a breeze to track your progress. As we mentioned earlier, Google Fit is one of the most popular fitness apps, and when you pair it with the right accessories, you'll be able to track every detail that matters to you.
