LOOKING For a GOOD, Reasonably Priced Fitness Tracker

I bought a Fitbit in 2016 and did not use it until 2019. It died in early 2020 while I was doing my pre-op weight loss diet. I don't want to spend quite so much this time around.

Amazon and a bunch of other vendors have a slew of low-cost fitness trackers. Some are modeled on Fitbit, some look like large-face wrist-watches.

Anybody have a good experience with any of these?

Links and your reviews/opinions appreciated!

I tried a fitness larger-faced wristwatch looking thing and didn't like it. Too complicated. I just needed the basics with heart rate, calories and steps that synchs with MyFitnessPal. My mother-in-law gave me her old FitBit Versa I think and it works fine for that. I think it was like $69 on sale with 30% discount at Kohl's. It's going on 3+ years, so it's held up well.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
