I am little bit confused between Fitbit flex and charge 2? I want to tracker my heart rate, running and sleeping activities.
Could you recommend a trekker that will measure distance, pace and elevation gained and lost?
Thank you.

Hello, sorry to tell you but the item that you state as the “Polar A360 Fitness Tracker with HR” is a picture for a Garmin Vivoactive HR and not a Polar A360 which is confusing your article. The band and two lower buttons are as found on my Garmin. Please update the article at your earliest convenience.
