Which Fitbit should you buy 2024? | Price + features you need to know about before you buy

Fitbit actually helped me collect data and find patterns for my sons seizures

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

@@cynthiacalderon9581 that's great to hear that it has helped you, would you recommend it for others. As this is an area of fitbits that I've not tried.

[@MillieP-sj8hk]

That’s awesome!!! I’m looking for this literally exactly for this!!!! I have absense seizures and mono seizures and psychogenic seizures. Which one helped with the seizures for you?

[@snakesonn]

lol has he ever considered not having seizures??

[@MillieP-sj8hk]

@@snakesonn that’s not how it works. It’s a malfunction in the brain that causes these. It’s not always physically possible to reverse it once the aura phase is coming up. I might be able get comfortable safely if I have time and know when it’s coming but they control me sometimes and not me them. But these fitbits do help with inflammation. I just wish sometimes I wasn’t alone while it happens. No one with you can probably d!e.

I've had the Inspire 3 for about 3 weeks and I can say at this point that its sleep data is crap. Twice during the past week, the first two hours of my sleep (which is the most deep and about which I have no doubt that I'm asleep, probably in deep sleep) are just completely ignored by the device. I'm early to bed, early to rise, usually asleep by 8:30. 9:00 at the latest, up by 4:30 or 5:00. My deepest sleep is between 9 and midnight. Both times the device dropped time from my sleep data it said that I started sleeping at 11:30! So if one of the reasons you're buying this device is for sleep tracking data, consider another device instead.

[@adamluthfie7]

detecting your watch very late is kind of strange or your sensor is broken. but regarding your type depth of sleep (REM, deep, light,), even the most advance watch only 70% accurate. this come from a garmin watch user.

[@pimacanyon6208]

@@adamluthfie7 happens almost every night. I was sick yesterday, had a fever in the late afternoon and evening. Went to bed at 8 and was asleep at 8:15. Fitbit tells me my sleep began at 10:30! That's more than 2 hours of sleep that it's not tracking. I tried setting the sleep sensitivity to sensitive, but hasn't made any difference.

[@sinny721]

That's interesting cause mine is eerily accurate down to the minute

[@pimacanyon6208]

@@sinny721 after wearing the inspire 3 for 5 months now, I can say that the majority of nights it tracks sleep accurately. But once every 5 or 6 days, it just drops the first 2 or 3 hours of my sleeping. I've tried adjusting the band tightness, from fairly snug to slightly looser. Seems that it does better when it's fairly snug.

[@Reaperguy67]

I personally use tbe Fitbit versa 4. Its been great for my 5 mile bike rides. When it comes to battery. I have managed to get a whole week on one charge. The only problem i have is that i can't get Alexa to sync on it. When it comes to the band , i can't stand the band it came with . When it comes to it, i recommend changing it to a frabic band. When it comes to other for Fitbits. My last one was a blaze.

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Thank you for your feedback. What issues did you have with Alexa and how did you find the tracking on your bike rides?

[@Reaperguy67]

@@strengthsweatsucceed you are welcome. When it comes to Alexa, it was not connecting to my account. When it comes to tracking, zero issues with it when it comes to that.

[@Trevor274]

Thank you. I think I'm going to replace my series 3 apple watch with the inspire. I don't want a smart watch anymore, i just want a basic fitness tracker without the bells and whistles, but good battery life.

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

I would also consider the charge 6. Let me know how you get on :)

[@Trevor274]

@@strengthsweatsucceed thanks! I actually ended up ordering the charge 6 yesterday! Just waiting for it to arrive.

[@Trevor274]

I really like the charge 6 so far. My only complaint is the default bands that come with it suck, but that's all fitness/smart watches, imo.

[@staceyh8395]

I love the Google Pixel watch 2, it has everything I was looking for in a smart/fitness watch. Plus I have an android phone so it's perfect for it

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Thanks for sharing, I'm just hoping for a longer battery life in the next model.

[@sarahandresen9521]

Thanks for the great presentation!For me it's important that the fitbit is comfortable (for sleep) so I'm a bit worried about the "chunkiness" of the charge6 compared to inspire3. Any chance you can elaborate on this?

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

The charge 6 is still really light weight and you won't notice the size difference to much compared to the inspire 3 as it still looks small on the wrist. It really depends on if you are going to use the extra sensors. Plus you could always order and send it back if it was unsuitable. Hope that helps

[@summerdavis7302]

Any updates/review? My main concern as well

[@ahmed.aldabbagh]

Thanks for the great simplified review and conclusion! Helps with making a decision.

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Thank you for your feedback. Let me know what you decide in the end :)

[@ahmed.aldabbagh]

@STAGFITNESS just ordered the Inspire 3, minimal size for the basic needed functions

[@jackiewest2099]

I'm a newbie. A young 70 yr old female with heart issues (OHS, Afib) and ride horses. For safety reasons, I also need a watch to detect falls. The other must haves that you mentioned are great! : Find Phone, Blood oxy, heart rhythm. Have Iphone SE. I'm looking at Luxe, Inspire 3 or Charge 6. Not into Alexa, etc. Which one do you think I should buy? Thanks so much! Great presentation and very informative, by the way!

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Hi and thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately the current Fitbit line up doesn't support fall detection, only the Google pixel watch. So it would depend if the fall detection is a must have considering you are still riding, (amazing by the way). The new pixel watch 3 would have everything you would need even if it wasn't a watch you were originally looking at.

[@Laceratedwings]

What would you say the best fitbit is? I'll mainly use it for steps/cals burned

[@emilybrady5300]

Love the new desgin!

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

For which Fitbit?

[@ForeverInFaith]

I have a charge 3, which my son now wants so I’m looking at getting another one for me or him. Is the 6 any/much bigger than this one?

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Good question, unfortunately I've never had the 3. But it's around the same size as the charge 4 which I had and it looks slightly smaller due to the rounded edges instead of the square edges of the charge 4. The charge 6 isn't a bulky fitness tracker. Hope that helps.

[@ForeverInFaith]

@@strengthsweatsucceed it does thank you for answering so fast! ☺️ I’ve found some great prices for unwanted new second hand ones so might go for the charge 6. Thanks again!

[@WMHProductions1]

I'm using Fitbit Versa 2, and it's still good 😊

[@T-London]

I have sent my 2nd Fitbit versa 4 as something has changed because all of a sudden they were not keeping the charge, it would last max 2 days as opposed to 5 or 6 days. 2 watches in a row and it was the same issue.

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

That's not good, have you contacted Fitbit support and if so what did they say?

[@houdenlukasz]

Does the blood glucose monitor actually work?

[@donna300]

one more question ? is the charge 6 waterproof ?, ie can I wear it swimming ? and will it track my swimming movements

[@donna300]

I am looking at the charge 6 fit bit -Can you explain what the 6 month premium membership means ? what happens after the 6 month is up .. do I have to pay for more membership ? I am new to smart watches /fit bit etc

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

@@donna300 the Fitbit premium membership is an extra member that gives you deeper insights into your stats, guided programs, challenges and workouts. The Fitbit on its own will still track and show you all the data the Fitbit can track without an extra charge.

[@petedavis6607]

Should I change my versa 2 for the charge 5

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

If it was for the charge 6 and you don't mind missing out on the larger smart watch screen, then yes. Otherwise I would try and wait and see what Google does with a new versa later this year.

Thoughts between Garmin eco system and the Pixel Watch 2 (Fitbit eco system)

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

I like the Pixel watch 2 because of how seamless it functions with the pixel phone and it's on par with the apple watch in terms of quality, but the battery life is so poor your forever charging it. I do prefer the more in-depth fitness tracking that's available on the Garmin watches, but again that only if you're prepared to pay a lot more.

[@kundiemangwende]

Garmin anyday. Fitbit premium is a scam 😮

[@mohammadbinbishr5167]

Is it worth changing from blaze to charge 6?

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

If your changing from the blaze then yes. I still think it's the best value Fitbit right now.

[@Applemaybay]

The versa 3 is the best Fitbit smartwatch I’ve tried a charge 5 and love my versa 3 much better so went back to it

Is versa free still for sale?

@@marydesiree2638 I think in stores like Noel Leeming and dick smith yes I haven’t seen it on Fitbit webpage lately though

[@george6252]

First of all I love the Fitbit line. I have all the Charge series and Versa's. BUT, the Versa 4 and Sense 2 have been watered down from previous versions. Per other reviewers . Fitbit Forum you can no longer post , suspect people are angry. Fitbit update is in a loop now. Trying switch from Fitbit account to Google impossible for many (Charge 6 as for me) . They tell you can't use your old google account because it's attached to Fitbit. (thought they bought Fitbit) . Try switching from Fitbit to a new Google account doesn't work either. From what I've read I'm not the only one having these problems. This time next year we'll be forced to switch. I will try again, if I have same problems I will be trashing 9 useless Fitbit watches. 😥 ANSWER IN A NUTSHELL , NONE OF THEM. From the looks of it Fitbit is doomed, they want you to buy the Pixel Watch, not gonna happen. 😡

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Sorry I will make sure to include it in my updated video coming out in a few weeks .

[@fujajo2761]

Thank you for this video clear, informative and straight to the point. I think I'll be going for the fitbit sense 2. I have a pixel pro 7 and would have loved to go for pixel watch 2 but the battery life would be a bit of an issue for me.

[@strengthsweatsucceed]

Good choice and thank you. After using the Garmin Venu 3 and the current charge 6 recently I have to say having a 24 hour battery life really is frustrating. I'm not sure when the sense 3 will be out so it might be a good time to pick up the sense 2 in the sales.

[@fujajo2761]

Very good advice, I managed to pick it up in the sale. Hopefully one day Google will improve the battery life on the pixel watches.
