To double wrist or not? (With a fitness tracker)

I've been toying with the idea of wearing a fitness tracker like a Garmin vivosmart 4 or 5 on my right and continue wearing watches that I love on my left wrist. I don't particularly like taking the tracker on and off so choice #4 in the poll is the least favorite option haha.

Some background- I use the fitness features and sleep tracking features quite a bit (up until a while back). I had a Samasung Galaxy watch which I used heavily only to be sucked into it and it became the only watch I wore 24x7 for several months. Finally, sold it and came back to my lovely watches. Now, as I start to prep for some Hikes and Treks I want to be able to get that data as well as have it measure sleep (something I struggle with daily. )

I'm open to suggestions on a discreet tracker which could pass off as an accessory. So far my choices are Garmin vivosmart 4/5, mi band 7 or a Whoop ( don't want to drop $300+ on it as I could pick up another beautiful watch haha) .

Thank you!

I'll wear my G-shock to the gym, but as far as tracking, I think my phone-in-pocket can track my steps (but I wouldn't track more than that if I did anyway). Heck, I'm a whiskey drinkin', cigar smokin', dog walkin', watch collectin' nut!

This is the way to go; however, not for me as my finger size (14) is larger than the biggest size they offer (13).

Thanks, I've heard great things about it! Unfortunately, I can't wear a ring under gloves during my boxing sessions. Ideally I'd want a super thing bracelet without a screen hah. I'd like to pass it off as an accessory.

I recommend getting a Garmin Instinct 2. It's a full size watch, with crazy battery life, built in GPS, tough as a tank and carries a ton of health and activity tracking tech. It's way better than Vivosmart - unless you really want a slim tracker.

There are trackers in bracelets you can use. However as it's a newer product, it's not available in most bracelet styles and lug widths. I need to look it up. Edit: one of these

I double wrist now with a Garmin and it's fine. When I first started about a year ago, I quickly grew to hate the double notifications I'd get with the watch and on my phone, so I turned off all of those except for phone calls & SMS notifications.

Yeah I read up on those, but still feels a bit too new. Thanks!

Yeah, the idea is to get a slim tracker so I don't need to wear another watch. Thanks!

Thank you for the responses guys! Really appreciate it. I pulled the trigger on a fitness tracker/bracelet and plan on double wristing it generally and only the tracker for workouts. Let's go!
