For anyone looking to reach their fitness goals, a fitness tracker is the perfect motivation they need. The Fitbit Flex 2 not only tracks activity, but also monitors sleep quality and provides smartphone notifications, which means it’s going to get a lot of wear time. But if the rubber band isn’t quite their style, be sure to get one of these bangles to hold the tracker, instead. It comes in three different metals to fit anyone’s esthetic and looks more like a polished piece of jewelry.
