Fitness tracker advice

Hi all, just wondered if i could get an opinion on fitness trackers - i'm looking at the Garmin vivosport and the Fitbit Charge, does anyone on the forum have either? if so whats your opinion? thanks in advance

I have the fitbit charge 2... i wouldn't get it again.. its not that accurate.. I use it as a guide and for it to remind me to move..

I use map my run for more precise readings.. that's an app on my phone.

Next time I'll go for a better one .

Hope that helps.

Hi Lizzie

Thank you for your message I think I'm leaning towards the garmin it seems to be less fussy!

I'll let you know how it goes

I’ve had my Fitbit charge 2 for years -I got it for counting steps on walks before I ever imagined I would run and I use it with Strava if I want to collect data. I’d agree with Lizzie that it’s not a tracker that gives a lot of accuracy. It depends on what you’re looking for really - perhaps you could check out Strava (free app) and then see what more you would want.

Hi Maurs12 - thanks for your reply - i'm looking for something thats independent of the phone really - so i dont have to take the phone out!

My friend has just got a garmin not sure of the model but she says the battery and functions are way better than her fitbit was.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 45s. Tracking is really accurate and the stats features are great. It does everything I need and more. I would buy it again tomorrow 😊.
