MOOK: FitBit Ace 2, FitBit Inspire, or....

[Dumbledork]

DD is 10.5 yo.

She wants a new watch for Christmas and would love one that also tracks her swim, sleep, etc. She currently has a $15 basic digital watch.

She currently also uses her watch for her morning alarm and as a stopwatch. She’d like to be able to set multiple alarms. She does not have a phone.

We were leaning more towards the FitBit Inspire, but it doesn’t have an audible alarm and we’re worried it won’t wake her up in the morning. We’ve also looked at Garmin VivoFit and VivoActive, but the reviews didn’t seem as good.

Anyone have any personal reviews or suggestions of other brands?

DD has the Vivofit Jr (almost 8y) and she likes it. You can set multiple alarms for different days (so like all 7am M-F, but also 5pm on T and Th), has a watch, is waterproof. I don't know if it has a stopwatch but it has timers (DD is constantly setting timers or uses the 2m one for her teeth). It does track sleep as well.

Not sure if the Jr is what you have in mind, but wanted to throw it out there.

H has the vivosport and he also really likes it. And I love my forerunner 235, lol.

We thought the Vivofit Jr looked too kiddie for her.

I think we’re going to go with the FitBit Ace 2. I’m worried it’s also going to be too kiddie, but apparently there’s a child privacy law that prevents anyone under 13 from using the Inspire, etc.
