I recently purchased the Fitbit One and love it!  It clips to your bra strap or pants. (I prefer the bra as it wont get lost) and it logs my steps, elevated climbs, calories burned and miles walked.  It will sync all your data to either your computer or a free app on your cell phone.

Good luck!

I've been using Fitbit products for about a year and a half.  Started with the Fitbit Flex, upgraded to the failed and recalled Force, and just got my Charge HR 3 days ago.  I have a lot of friends who use FB and that makes for more fun to compete with/challenge your friends.  It can provide some motivation.

The best tracker really depends on what you want to track.  Any basic tracker will do steps, distance, calories, floors, calorie burn for the most part.  Maybe more.  It when you get into things like sleep patterns, heart rate, call display, music control, GPS, that is where the distinction comes in.  If cycling is your thing, most trackers have poor tracking (unless they have GPS) and you have to add this information in manually. 

I personally wouldn't buy anything other than Fitbit.  I like their products and they are a company that stands behind them and their failures. ie: voluntary recall of the failed Force product in 2013.  They are the #1 tracker product for a reason.  FB just came out with their newest products in the last few months...The Charge, Charge HR, and Surge.

Finally, the best tracker is the one you are going to use everyday!
