Hi there I have tried different ones - at the moment I have a fitbit 3. I've found that the step counting can not be exact unless you do a specific timed one as it reacts to your arm movements. My fitbit 3 is supposed to be sensitive to my dominant arm/hand though it still adds on extra steps compared to my phone app. You can pay to be on the premier programme which may be more in depth. My children have garmin watches- and set the timer for specific runs which you can do with a fitbit- they think the garmin is better.

The fitbit 3 seems better at tracking sleep and heart rates . X Anita

I wear a fitbit charge 3, but it does beats per minute, sleep, steps, etc, but no blood pressure, none do blood pressure accurately or are approved for blood pressure.

Quite honestly I have tried many watches inc Apple & not found one that is much good the best was Withings Nokia but this went wrong after 15 months & their back up help was non existent. Fortunately Amazon refunded currently have Fitbit 3 but wildly inaccurate on walking & to get sleep details it appears that you have to pay for premium so will be sending back to Amazon who must be getting fed up with me

I will give up until a more accurate product is available it’s daft paying £199 to just tell the time

Hi

Yes this is the latest model of the one I am currently trying, I think this the Fitbit active 2 & new one is Active 3, let me know if any good, if you buy from Amazon no problem in returning & prompt refund
