For a valentine who loves to walk, run or keep moving, a light fitness tracker makes a thoughtful gift under $50 that they wear every day. The MotionCred Activity Fitness Tracker ($49) weighs about 22 grams, runs up to 12 days per charge, charges through a USB plug built into the watch, and comes with the free MotionCred app for Android 9 and newer. Order by February 12 for Amazon Prime delivery before Valentine's Day.

Key takeaways

  • A tracker suits a valentine who walks, runs, trains or wants a fresh routine.
  • Check their phone first. MotionCred pairs with Android 9 and newer.
  • At 22 grams with up to 12 days per charge, it stays on the wrist day and night.
  • Order by February 12 for delivery before Valentine's Day, or print a valentine for a late order.
  • The order is the tracker with its strap. Chocolates and flowers make a separate treat.

Who a fitness tracker suits as a valentine

  • The walker. Someone who heads out after dinner or loops the park at lunch watches steps, distance and calories add up across the whole day.
  • The runner. Heart rate reads every few minutes and through every workout, and 25 sport modes cover their training week.
  • The student. Light enough for class, practice and bed, with a charger that lives inside the band. In an eFit fitness course on efit.health, their steps and workouts count toward class activity on their own.
  • The partner starting fresh. Move reminders nudge them up from the desk, and light, deep and REM sleep estimates show how each night went.

A quick gift check before you order

  1. Which phone do they carry? MotionCred pairs with Android 9 and newer through the free MotionCred app from Google Play. The iPhone app is coming soon; until then, an iPhone owner in an eFit class or eFit Fitness Challenge uses the free Google Health app.
  2. Will they wear it daily? At 21.9 grams with a soft TPU strap, it feels comfortable at work, on a run and in bed, and the tracker worn day and night tells the fullest story.
  3. How old are they? Wearers 13 and older set it up themselves. Younger wearers use MotionCred with permission from a parent or their school.

Three good answers? You have found the gift. The gift check on the MotionCred home page runs the same questions in ten seconds, and the full specs list every sensor and measurement.

Why it makes a thoughtful Valentine's gift

  • It fits their routine. A full charge lasts up to 12 days, with about 30 days in standby, so it stays on through busy weeks.
  • It travels well. For a weekend getaway, it charges from the same laptop or USB wall adapter already in the bag.
  • It handles February weather. IP67 covers rain, sweat, splashes and hand washing. Take it off to swim, soak or sauna.
  • It feels personal. Four eFit watch faces let them pick the look that suits them.
  • It respects their privacy. The MotionCred app carries zero ads and leaves their location untouched, and sleep, blood oxygen and their body profile stay on their phone.

Valentine's date ideas that count steps

A tracker makes a natural excuse for time together on the move. A few ideas for the week of Valentine's Day:

  • An evening walk for two after dinner, with a quick look at the step total back at the door.
  • A Saturday morning run or hike, recorded with one of the 25 sport modes.
  • A walk to a favorite café or bakery to pick up the Valentine's treats.
  • A friendly week-long step challenge, where the winner picks the next date spot.

Members of an eFit Fitness Challenge on challenge.efit.health connect the same watch, and their steps build their challenge score and their place on the leaderboard.

Quick answers

Is a fitness tracker a good Valentine's Day gift?

A light tracker becomes part of their day: it counts steps on every walk, reads heart rate through workouts and estimates sleep stages at night. MotionCred ($49) weighs about 22 grams, runs up to 12 days per charge and comes with the free MotionCred app for Android 9 and newer.

What is a good Valentine's gift under $50 for him or her?

A fitness tracker suits a partner who walks, runs or trains, because it gets worn every day. The MotionCred Activity Fitness Tracker costs $49 on Amazon, ships with Prime, tracks steps, heart rate, sleep stages and 25 sport modes, and charges through a USB plug built into the watch. Check first that they carry a phone running Android 9 or newer.

Is a fitness tracker a good Valentine's gift for a student?

Yes, especially for a student with an Android phone. MotionCred weighs about 22 grams, lasts up to 12 days per charge and charges from any USB port, which suits a dorm room or a backpack. For a student in an eFit fitness course on efit.health, it also sends steps, heart rate and workouts to their class. Students younger than 13 use it with permission from a parent or their school.

When should I order a fitness tracker for Valentine's Day delivery?

Order MotionCred by February 12 for Amazon Prime delivery before Valentine's Day. For a later order, print a free valentine from motioncred.com to give on the day while the tracker is on its way.

Does the order include chocolates or flowers?

The order is the MotionCred Activity Fitness Tracker with its strap. Chocolates, flowers and the heart-shaped box in our drawings are separate, so pair the tracker with your own favorite treats. Returns follow Amazon's policy, and most orders return within 30 days of delivery.

Does MotionCred work with an iPhone?

The free MotionCred app runs on Android 9 and newer, and the MotionCred app for iPhone is coming soon. Until it arrives, an iPhone owner in an eFit class or eFit Fitness Challenge uses the free Google Health app with the iPhone itself, an Apple Watch or a Fitbit.
