Fitbits

[jag01]

I have an old fitbit charge that is on its way out. I really liked it, but wished it was better made. Looking for feedback before I get another one. Do you have one you love or hate?

I have an alta, and I love that the bands are interchangable and you can buy all kinds of cheap bands that work well on amazon. I do miss the hr feature and wish it counted stairs, but overall it's good enough for me (I like to have the display, and I like getting cell phone alerts on it, along with the step counting).

I’ve liked my garmins way more than my fitbits. They’ve lasted for a few years each. I have actually just upgraded each time, and my previous one still worked.

My fit bits I was always needing to call them and have them replaced.

Good to know! Thank you for the reccomendation. Does it track sleep and stairs like a fitbit?

My alta was awesome. I loved it. I got an apple watch as a gift, so I don't wear it anymore, but my ALta was the only fitbit I never had to replace. I wore it daily for 3 years.

At work we all got fitbit Charge. They all are falling apart, the plastic warped and came apart. Maybe it’s the Charge design or are all fitbits like that?

I have the Charge 2 and the functionality of it is great but the size/height is a big high off the wrist IMO. I have hit the face/front quite a bit and almost scratched it up. I would go with one that is a flatter fit to my wrist next time. Versa or Ionic maybe

I like all the features on my charge 2 but I agree that’s its bulky. Mine is also starting to get scratched.

Agree with others about Charge 2. I have that one (my first ever) and have had it for a little more than a month. I love having it, but it is bulky and mine is scratched, too. Still, I think it was the best option for me. The Alta is a lot more attractive, but there was something it didn't do that I wanted (can't remember what).

I LOVE getting notifications when I get a text or phone call. I am notorious for not hearing my phone ring, so it's a great feature for me.

Some of the newest fit bits sounded good but I didn't want to pay that much.
