Summer is typically a time for indulgence – late nights, beachside sundowners and dining out may make for great memories, but the combination can wreak havoc on your body. Thankfully, there is no shortage of innovative fitness trackers on the market to help you maintain your goals while on vacation (or, at the very least, show you how to recover when it’s over). Here, MOJEH Men rounds-up the wearable health and fitness trackers to invest in this summer.
Whoop
Though typically pictured on the wrists of elite athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tiger Woods and Virat Kohil, Whoop is a surprisingly accessible, easy-to-use device. Not only does it track the fitness basics, but it includes guidance across sleep, recovery, strain, fitness and longevity; whether you want to tailor your workout, focus on hydration or find out just how much that extra glass at dinner affected your sleep, Whoop is a do-it-all hero powered by tried-and-trusted science. Plus, it has just dropped the Navigator, a non-slip, durable band built for off-grid adventures. Shop now
Ōura Ring 5
Ōura packs 12 years of innovation into a wearable device that goes almost undetected while keeping you (and your goals) on track. The latest release, Ōura Ring 5, is slimmer and more discreet than ever; crafted from lightweight titanium and completely waterproof, it holds the title of the world’s smallest smart ring and is now available in gold and rose-gold finishes. Fret not – a smaller scale doesn’t mean less features. In fact, the Ōura Ring 5 includes even more technology, including real-time activity tracking experience, advanced insights into blood pressure and nighttime breathing, and specially tailored offerings for those taking GLP-1 medications.

Google Fitbit Air
If you’re looking for a device that gives you the crucial information without overload, the Fitbit Air is just the ticket. The Fitbit Air is one of the slimmest wearables on the market and offers an updated AI-powered experience at an accessible price point. A seven-day battery life (from one charge) powers sleep, activity and heart rate tracking, all neatly summarised by AI to eliminate deciphering the data yourself – the new Google Health app was created in partnership with basketball star Stephen Curry. The Fitbit Air doesn’t require a subscription, though you can upgrade your account to access premium features. Shop now
Forerunner 965, Garmin
Both a fitness tracker and an actual watch, the Forerunner 965 by Garmin is a no-brainer for those that prefer not to fuss with multiple bands. Whether you’re training for an upcoming marathon and need reminders to stay on track (Garmin’s tone is praised – and playfully criticised – amongst fitness enthusiasts for being unforgiving), want to navigate your golf rounds with course-mapping features, or are looking to find out why you’re just so darn tired all the time, Garmin’s innovative devices offer it all. The device is available in multiple colourways and can be complemented by an array of interchangeable straps depending on the occasion. Shop now
