Hi yall, I currently have a Fitbit Vera Lite and use the general "workout" category to track bodycombat and body pump, however I'm trying to plan ahead since Fitbit has phases out so many features, and I've had my current Fitbit for 6 years so I think it'll be on its way out soon. I'm being influenced by all the Garmins, but they seem a bit more catered towards running, which other than causal treadmill walks to reach my step goals, I'm not interested in running or improving it. Garmins do have workouts you can program to the watch, that does intress me a lot as I feel like I'd use the gym more for strength training or yoga to fill on the days they don't offer combat or pump. But since my main source of exercise is les mills classes, I wanted to see what y'all think and if there's any specific one you think helps with tracking an keeps ya motivated? Extra points for anything that has some kind of gamification/ makes a big deal about hitting goals/ tracking streaks etc. Thanks everybody
I bought a Sense a few years but the screen cracked so I bought Versa (2maybe?) and the battery completely broke and now I'm back to my original Sense! Cracked but still works well! I've been wanting a new fitness tracker, and while I have been using Fitbit for many years, I've been so disappointed but I just don't know what else I would be happy with.
Charge 6 might still be on sale for 100. Never really used the Smartphone functions on my versa, liking the charge so far Charge does have healthconnect, which is a standard for apps and other devices to share health stuff. I don't know if that works with apple.
Damn. I had no idea they that bad. I used a Fitbit verse for years and it would last like a week even with rides and such.
My seventh Fitbit died last week (from Luxe to Versa to Charge 5 and 6, this was my second in-warranty replacement), white line on the screen to no screen at all within 24 hours. So with some Target credit I decided to go with a Garmin Instinct for $200. The GPS is much, much more accurate (even when not paired with my phone), the app tracks a lot more information than the Fitbit app did and takes up a third of the space on my phone. I miss the constant step updates; the Garmin just updates every minute. That's about the only drawback.
The Versas do all that and more and the battery life is 5-7 days.
