    Looking for input on Trucker(not fragile) friendly fitness trackers. Didn't come up with anything using search.

    Mainly looking for steps/calories and sleep monitoring. Nothing too fragile.

    I have one on my phone, but it picks up going down the road as steps. I'm leaning wearable.

    Any of the watch types should work, it's not like we are swinging sledge hammers or running concrete breakers 11 hours a day.

    Reason I was looking for suggestions was because I'm on car haul side I find I'm a little rougher on things. Was hoping to find advice on which ones don't pick up driving llike my phone does and count it as steps.

    Here you go driver. This compares steps, sleep, hr, etc. Find one that fits your budget and needs.

    About 6th article down for comparison of most models.

    I have a jawbone up bracelet style tracker, it's an older one but it works out well. Shows steps and active periods and the app will track your sleep (although that to is based on movement)
