STAY COMMUNICADO

These trackers will channel all your alerts and notifications to you when you’re out

If you really can’t go for a run without unplugging from social media, you’ll like these trackers, though you’ll want to pick carefully. If you bring your smartphone along for the ride, the Fitbit facilitates call, text and calendar notifications, but you can’t respond without getting your phone out. The Vivosmart HR+ offers a fuller suite of smart communications: emails, calls, texts, social-media alerts, app alerts and so on, all via a gentle vibration. But again, Samsung takes things up a notch. Not only do you get smart notifications, you can do (pre-written) responses to Samsung app messages, Facebook, Gmail and WhatsApp messages.
