Apple Watch or Fitbit



Recommended Posts

I have never had a Fitbit but I do have an Apple Watch that I've worn everyday since last Christmas.

I find the Apple Watch to be very helpful with keeping me on track with timing food and drink (you know the whole 30 min before and after eating drink restriction).

I also find it motivational to see my activity tracker - which I have right on the face.

That being said it's a really expensive item to use as a timer/activity tracker. Much as I like it - I'd have never spent this kind of money with the variety of less expensive options out there.

@@kblanc you should get a hold of fitbit customer service, they are fantastic. My friend accidentally washed her fitbit one, and they sent her a new one even though it was her fault. I would go with them for the customer service alone.

I had a Fitbit Flex (the original one, not the newest version.) I liked it fine, but switched to an Apple watch which I love. I'm also a big nerd and use it as more than a standard watch and fitness tracker, though. I'd say if you're not likely to use any apps on the watch, Fitbit is a much better deal.

If Fitbit is your choice I suggest spending the extra money for the warrantee. I love my Fitbit but as we know life happens for example getting in the shower and forgetting you have it on or simply it stops working.

My husband got mine at Best Buy and I've already replaced it 3 times in 2 years no questions asked.

I just got the Fitbit blaze and it's awesome I highly recommend it. I'm 3 months out and I've had awesome success but haven't been working out like I should. This watch motivated me so much more. I literally got out of bed last night because I wanted to hit my award goal for the day

I have a Fitbit Alta. I charge it like once a week... and it gives me all the info I need on my wrist.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
