Fitbit - Versa 3

My Review from a Fitness Perspective; I've worked in Fitness since 2016.    Been a loyal fitbit fan since long before that.    I'm also a keen runner.     After my old Fitbit Versa 3's battery life took a turn for the worst I took the plunge and purchased a Google Pixel 3. I've always had the benefit while sprinting on treadmills of using the app and my phone to constantly monitor mg heart rate in real time.    With the Pixel 3 so called fitness tracker ironically marketed at this specific market this feature has now vanished with users only able to monitor their heart rate on the watch itself To me this is a massive research and development epic FAIL and a massive backwards step.    How does someone sprinting on a treadmill using their arms to power through a sprint check the face of their fitness tracker? I raised with Google pIxel watch  customer support who confirmed that this feature has indeed been removed with no declared intention to reinstate. Google can't be taken seriously now as a true fitness tracker brand.    To me as a fitness tracker Google Pixel is next to useless with massive research and development gaffs such as this.    The reviews for the latest pixel 3 watch are extremely good.  It doesn't help that most of the reviews are carried out by Tech heads and not fitness professionals.    For anyone serious about fitness and particularly runners  give Google Pixel brand a miss.    Google have trashed Fitbits previous reputation for this demographic.  

I have a fitBit Versa3 that I'm not using anymore, I can give it to you for 5k yen, I'll also throw in a few extra straps if you want.

I recently switched to the pixel watch 2. My versa 3 crapped out & I wanted to keep my fitbit stats. I'm not thrilled with what Google has done to fitbit but I wanted to be able to used the Google Assistant feature to set reminders, etc... (one feature I use the most). I run 6 days a week & have been happy with the exercise tracking. I used to throw my fitbit on a charger when I took a shower in the mornings, so the daily charging feature isn't a downside for me. I got the 41mm because I have VERY small wrists & i like the look. I'm happy with my choice....so far...😄

Versa 3. Use it to track workouts/calorie burn, as well as my sleep, which is horrible. It's me, not the watch. Also wear an Oura ring for sleep. Same terrible scores.

I have a versa 3. I have had many different ones over the years.

Hey, I know I'm super late to this conversation, but I'm literally at the same point with my Versa 3. Got it for Christmas 2021 and it just died. Agonising over Sense 2 and Versa 4. Are you still happy with your Versa 4? In my country Fitbit is expensive, approx $400 for either of these, with sense 2 being the slightly more expensive option.
