Abstract
With the various activity trackers available in the market, customers often find themselves confused between choosing one amongst them all. Due to the advancements in technology there are several specifications and features to choose from but the main challenge is that there is not one activity tracker that has it all, hence the need of comparison between the several activity trackers and their specifications. Existing research focuses mostly on giving the specifications of all the activity trackers out there, and not comparing different activity trackers to help the customer make the correct choice. This research paper has outlined the need, challenges and comparison of the specification between the different activity trackers available in the market.
