Google Fit is one of the best apps for tracking all kinds of fitness data, from the food you eat to the calories you burn to your progress over time. While it's not hard to manually enter your weight and other data in Google Fit, there are some accessories to make the whole process even easier.
Best fitness smartwatch
Mobvoi TicWatch Pro
Staff pick
The TicWatch Pro is a genuinely good watch even if you don't care about fitness tracking. If you do, it's even better. There's a GPS sensor to better track your jogs, a heart-rate monitor for keeping your beats in check, and NFC so you can leave your phone at home and still use Google Pay.
Tipping the scales
eufy BodySense Smart Scale P1
You can manually enter your weight into Google Fit, but this scale can do it for you. It also calculates more than weight. It can estimate your body fat and water percentages, as well as your muscle mass and various other measurement types. Since getting all that data is as easy as stepping on the scale, you get a more accurate picture of your health over time.
Another great watch
Samsung Galaxy Watch
It's not too hard to get your Samsung Health data into Google Fit, and with that, you can get an absolutely stunning watch. We called the new Galaxy Watch the do-everything smartwatch for Android owners, so if you just don't like Wear OS you can still get a great looking smartwatch that tracks your fitness.
Basic fitness band
Xiaomi Mi Band 4
Xiaomi is known for making low-cost gadgets that perform well, and the Mi Band 4 is no exception. It will track your steps, sleep, heart rate, and other areas easily. What's more, you can get that data right into Google Fit. If you don't want to spend a lot on a fitness tracker, this is the one for you.
A cheaper watch
Mobvoi Ticwatch E2
If you like Google's Wear OS, but don't want to spend too much money, Mobvoi has another great watch for you. The Ticwatch E2 still features an onboard GPS, activity tracking, and heart-rate monitor, but it lacks NFC for Google Pay. If that's not a deal-breaker, you can save some serious dough compared to more expensive watches. And your workout data will go straight into Google Fit, no other services needed!

While's no specific place in Google Fit to enter waist measurements, you can easily keep a journal entry with your progress over time.
Bring your phone
