I've used Fitbit for over five years and would not recommend any of their products anymore. They break within 12 month. I was lucky to get a replacement Fitbit charge 5 when the first one glitches out but the replacement didn't last long either. Save your money and buy a better brand
Agreed, I have had a sense 2 for just over a year. Its battery is shot, heart rate monitor frequently freezes and overall is just a bad tracker. I preferred my charge 2, which also died after 2 years.
@@danielikin3022 I think the charge 2 was their best tracker. I loved the breathing feature and the graphics of the breathe feature. I don't know why everything got worse from that tracker onwards. Love the Huawei band 8 atm
Fit Bit Sense 2 doesn't not work on Android's current OS version 13. Problem has been known since June 2022. Confirmed with tech support so returned the Sense 2 and applied credit towards Galaxy 5 watch. How this can happen is beyond me. You would have thought FitBit would have solved this before the 2022 XMass season when my wife gave me the Sense 2.
I got the Fitbit Luxe for myself, because I am a woman and I like smaller watches on my wrists. I got my husband the Fitbit Charge 5 because he has bigger wrists and also I was hoping the slightly larger screen would be easier for both his eyes (he wears glasses) and his larger fingers. I didn't want to spend a lot of these, so I like the lower price-point but lots of features to these two Fitbits. I have also not heard good things about the longevity of Fitbits, so I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money to just need to replace it in a year. I'm enjoying my Luxe so far! I am not a big fitness buff, just like to walk and try to stay kind of healthy. This is my first fitness tracker. I do wish that there were more band options for Luxe. It's supposed to be a better looking Fitbit, but Inspire seems to have more options for elegant bands. I'm wearing this thing to work, on nights out, to weddings, etc - I want it to look like a nice watch or jewelry and not a fitness tracker. (The gold bracelet option was too pricy for me, I'm fine with low-cost low-end metals.)
Can I suggest a video for the older generation, I’m looking for a tracker that can monitor activities for older generations. I don’t run, but I like to walk on a treadmill and outside but in a park. Don’t need GPS but want the as much health monitoring as I can get. Love the Apple Watch, but battery life prevents all day monitoring. Need to monitor sleep and activity rather than than spending time on the charger.
I love the fitbit luxe. I love the Hr monitoring, steps count, msg notification, find my phone and sleeping tracker. Its very accurate for me. The only downfall is the battery life. I use mostly for 24hrs and only take off when i shower and lasts mybe 2-3days but it can fully charge for 1hr. I wish it can last for 7 days so i dont have to charge all the time
Fitness trackers don’t need to accept or reject calls. I like premium traditional watches and trackers must be slim and are only there to collect health data. No fluff and nothing extra.
Yeah, I don't want to wear a clunky watch when I sleep. I just want something small and light to wear, so I can wear it 24/7 (except when it is charging, so battery life is very important). I'm just shopping for a new tracker. I'm thinking the Charge 5 might fit the bill. But, even it seems too "watchy" for what I'm looking for.
My Fitbit Charge 4 is very reliable. Monochrome not fancy but a great tracker. That's what I have used it for steps and miles above my right ankle under sock.
Fitness is the worst. Will tell you a heart rate when it's not even on your arm. They took away all the challenge ability. So, your solo with it. Don't bother with Fitbit
I loved my Fitbit too, but after 2 years the screen died, it got dark and I just threw it out and bought Garmin, but there is such a difference in readings! I just wonder which one is right 😅
I managed to get my Garmin Fenix 3, my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and my brand new Polar OH1+ to all talk together. The watch was sending data to my Garmin Connect app and the Polar OH1+ send data to my watch over an Ant+ connection which then sent it to my phone to a Polar Beat app. It's amazing how much they all agreed. Tiny differences in latency creates snap shots that can be off but wait a few seconds and they will land in the same place. I think there's a way to make the Polar OH1+ as accurate as the Polar H10. Move the OH1 to a different position when weight lifting. Move it to the temple or to the femoral artery. I used it on my arm to run a HIIT on a treadmill and for doing Dumbbell squats and Farmers Walks w/ dumbbells. No problems. But there might be for bicep curls or triceps workouts. Just move it.
Garmin customer care is non-existent, in my honest opinion. After 9 months of trouble free use, the vivosmart 5 unit popped out of the strap unnoticed and was lost. This was the second time this had happened; the first, some six weeks beforehand, I found it in my car. After some 5k hours of wear, the strap was not fit for purpose, in my experience. Garmon offered a 30% reduction on anew watch, but absolutely refused to adhere to the 24 month warranty in the EU and replace it. The strap should hold the watch in place. I have bought Fitbit's previously and suffered a number of technical failings with them and getting a replacement was never a problem. The difference between the way the two companies care about their customers and their brand, couldn't be much wider, in my experience. Avoid Garmin. They just don't care about their customers.
I was amazed to discover my new Garmin Venu SQ could not count steps when I was mowing the lawn. Four miles I walked and it said I walked 600 steps. My fitbit inspire 2 that broke after 2+ years could count steps. All I want is a watch that counts steps.
I do a HIIT workout on a treadmill. It consists of a warmup, the workout, and the cool down. The workout has 8 segments of 2 minutes each with 30 seconds running at 7.6 mph with 90 seconds of walking at 2.5 mph. Is there a fitness tracking watch that can contend with that? I'd like to add jumping rope to this routine with 8 segments of 30 seconds of speed jump roping and 90 seconds of rest. Can any fitness tracking watch deal with that?
Fitbit doesn’t last display goes out within 1 year. It is a throw away product. I have gone through 6 different models. I love them but DON’T LAST. FITBIT TRASH
Apple Watches are great trackers but the main trouble is and which is frustrating Apples privacy policy limits what data you can share with other apps e.g calories burnt. Apple do not trust the user to choose what they share and with whom. Consequently I have an Apple Watch on one wrist and a Fitbit on the other!
Fitbit is garbage. I bought the Luxe 2 years ago and ever since I had to update it the first time, it became very glitchy. With the latest update it hasn't fixed any of the issues. My main issue is it displays inaccurate battery info. Sometimes you turn the screen on and it says 100%, then 5 mins later it says a drastically different number like 70%. Or vice versa. Or I'll plug it in at 50% and it jumps to 100%. It will randomly die. And it's stuck in DND mode. If I go to turn that mode off it crashes! Garbage.
Dont but fitbit! Dont do it unless you want to to reset the correct time endlessly...I mean monthly! Like be late to places? Probably not. Just ridiculous. Stop spending money on slick youtube videos and fix that shit!
I like the bare boned Fitbit Inspire 3... Entry-level Fitbit, like the Inspire 2, but now with a few more added features, including a full color AMOLED display, as opposed to the B/W OLED of the I2...
fitbits are bad watches mine literally got lost because the strap is too small, so i had to cut another one, which just fell while i was sleeping. Lost it while throwing snowballs u cant even see where the watch is

All i need is a step counter and a live heart rate monitor... No online crap what so ever... Any advice?

This is exactly the kind of info I needed. I love how you compare the health features on different smartwatches

With Apple Watch, you depends on stupid changes because of unnecessaries updates !! I only had Apple Watch but I will move to another one…

2024 reviews and 2-year old video? 🤔

i feel this post is just an add for those brands ..
Samsung watch 5 pro
Just thought I'd click the link to see how much the garmin is... £790 😮😂
For anyone watching this video after RUclips removed the dislike counter: it currently stands at 2.9K dislikes
good video
My Fitbit stopped charging after three and a half months. Fitbit did not honor my warranty because I had bought it at Amazon!!! DO NOT BUY A FITBIT!
nice video😊
Charge 7 is out. How is this a 2024 video
Fitbit is crap. No support if you don't buy it from them.
Garmin doesn't have a 7E???
Thank you for the video!! I’m looking for a fitness watch for my Christmas gift list! 🤗
The fact you consider Apple watch to be a fitness tracker, made me click out of the video
