Yeah this is such an amazing tool. My vivosmart 5 broke and I replaced it with an Apple Watch thinking it could surely do the same but it can’t and I miss this feature so much. This post might just convince me to get a garmin again.

When I switched to Garmin I got a Vivosmart 5, which was okay, it was missing a few things but it was cheap. A couple months ago I got a Venu 2 and I loooooove it. It’s everything that Fitbit wishes it were.

I have a Garmin Vivosmart 5. It has a longish watch face the same width as the watchband and is pretty lightweight. It cost between 130-150€ in Germany around 9 months ago. I think one of the older models (vivosmart 3 or 4) was even thinner, in case that helps. No subscription model, and a single ch

I liked the Fitbit hardware. But the app continued to degrade. Basically swapped my Versa for a Vivosmart, doubt I will go back.

I switched to Garmin the vivosmart 5 or whatever the smallest one was. I miss some things about the old Fitbit but the app is so much better. I am not interested in a round watch like face. If you're not interested in all the bells and whistles, get the lower tier model.

I returned my air today and pre ordered through my local Best Buy. I used a garmin for 3 years and switched to the Fitbit for a month to try it. I agree that the cirqa is not perfect, but the Fitbit air just wasn’t doing it for me. The overall data collected is still the same (hr, hrv, temp, ox, sle

My Inspire 3 did the same thing. I went with Garmin Vivosmart as it is still a slim design. I use it for steps as I get a benefit from work for tracking. The secondary reason is for heart rate as I have a heat condition that I need to relay my heart rate to a cardiologist. It is a pretty important p

The vivo Smart line is more Fitbit size. I have the previous generation (the vivosmart 4) and it does well at capturing my heart rate spikes!

Garmin vivosmart range. Or any of their cheaper options, really. Loved fitbit until screen/battery death 2 years in. Garmin still strong at 5 and a half years.

I have a Garmin Vivosmart 5. As a fitness tracker, it's pretty lightweight and narrow which is why I tolerate wearing it 24/7 - in my opinion this is important to collect accurate data. It has the body battery and stress readings, but what it doesn't have are customisable watch faces. You can downlo
