Health watch

[Letsgo27]

Hello all,

My Fitbit has been tracking my heart rate incorrectly. I’ve worked with customer services to try and troubleshoot but it is still not working. As I’ve been really unhappy with my Versa and Fitbit won’t replace, I’m considering going to Apple Watch 6. Has anyone experienced both Fitbit and Apple Watch and can advise what to go for? I have compared both and steering towards Fitbit but put off by my experience.

I like the in depth sleep tracking on Fitbit and it seems apple does not give much insight into sleep.

Any view will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm no expert I'm afraid, Letsgo27, you may find something in the Apps and trackers Topic.

My question to you is, does knowing how a gadget tracks your sleep actually help your sleep, or make you feel more refreshed? If it doesn't, you could save your money and just enjoy your sleep, or if your sleep is not refreshing, you could look into improving your sleep hygiene

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I had a Fitbit (forget which one, it was a good level one) but didn’t use it after the first flush of ownership. As moreless says checking on your sleep isn’t really that beneficial, I was never convinced by it.

I see that you have started C25K which is brilliant. If you keep with it and get the bug you will be looking to have a running watch 😉. For a cheap “hobby” it can get very technical/costly x correct sports bra (an early must have purchase, good shoes - the next step 😀, followed by any number of goodies. One tip, if you aren’t aware and labels conscious is to look out for promotions at Aldi and Lidl, their gear is very good - and not just for the price.
