A coworker and I both bought Fitbits and it was when we bought our second one that we realized both lasted approx 2 years before dying. I switched to Garmin after that, she went with a no name. It was just as well because after Google bought Fitbit they changed so I had to pay for Fitbit to tell me how well I slept last night?
I just hate how you’re locked into their app regardless. I want more control of what metrics and reminders I want to get. Fitbit can give you a reminder if you havent done your 250 steps this hour. Garmin can remind you to make steps every now and then. What if I want custom reminders like “vibrate if heart rate has been below x for y minutes” or choose graphs that I can put as widgets. No control over any of it.
