Which Fitbit is the best??



Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I am working on loosing weight pre-op and I want to get a Fitbit that helps me track the most important things for being healthy. Can anyone suggest their favorite? I don't want one that is too bulky but I do like he idea of having a screen.

Thank you!

It's not to big on your wrist?

I have the Blaze and really like it but I think for ladies smaller size, the Alta is probably the best choice for fit and function.

I have a charge HR that I've been using for 2 years. I usually wear it in my (loose fitting) pant pocket because I was getting too many false steps. Must be waving my arms around too much.

I've been very happy with the charge HR for steps and such. Don't use it for HR though. I did find it interesting that the sleep monitor showed a very obvious shift from OSA to healthy sleep when I changed to sleeping upright a few months ago.

I'm a lady and I just got the blaze and I love it!! I love the exercise part built right in if you need a quick boost! I had the alta previously for 2 years and loved that one too but I like how much more I can do with the blaze.

The charge 2 isn't to big at all. I really like it and if my phone is somewhat nearby it'll show your texts and who is calling you

The AltaHR does everything the ChargeHR2 does except steps. The display is a little weird because it's thin (the width of the original fitbit). I found the ChargeHR2 to be a bit large for my wrist so I went with the Alta, but my daughter has the ChargeHR2 and doesn't mind the size.

I have the Alta (not alta2) it does all the steps, sleep etc. everything except heart rate. I’ve worn through several bands!

I tried on the Blaze watch and totally loved it! It fits around my wrist really well. I never wear jewelry though so that would be hard for me. I have to save up for something that expensive though.

I have the Alta HR which is the slender one. I like it a lot, but I think if I could do it again I'd get the wider Charge 2. My husband and SIL have that one and I like the display better. I love having the HR feature and specialized sleep data. It's so easy to tell if you're training in the right range. The one thing I would say is make sure it's tight when you exercise, sweat interferes with the HR sensors. :rolleyes:

I've had the Blaze over a year now and I love it! It's convenient for me especially controlling my music and reading my texts. I don't find it bulky at all

I am really leaning towards the Blaze. I tried on my friends and loved how it fit on my wrist.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
