That watch looks great! If I did not already have a fitness watch I would consider that one.

I still think I’m leaning towards the Fitbit Charge 3 (if I buy a new one) since I can get $50 off and free shipping. I do a couple different Fitbit challenges with friends so I want to stick with Fitbit. Although, Cheryl, the one you have does look pretty good for the money.
Those of you that have the Fitbit, how accurate are the wrist ones? I’m so used to wearing my One on my waistband or bra and it seems pretty accurate. I really don’t want to get steps just from moving my arm. Also, which arm do you wear it on? Does it make a difference? I know I’m weird but I’m right handed but always wear my watch on my right hand too. |

IIRC, Fitbit does ask you when you set it up which hand is your dominant hand and which hand you will be wearing it on. But since I wore it on my non-dominant hand I don't know if wearing it on your dominant hand makes a difference or not. It might, depending on what you're doing and how sensitive they are now in regards to recording arm movements, but I can't say for sure. It also went crazy when it came to recording sleep. I would be extremely busy and getting lots of steps within a specific time frame and it would record that I took a 2 hour nap or slept for 17 hours at night. |

Aren't there some "wrist" Fitbits that you can get different holders for that aren't your wrist? I want to say there are necklaces, but I doubt those would be accurate if they're swinging around.
Stationary devices like the One are the most accurate. I think it was stupid of Fitbit to discontinue it. It would be nice if someone else would pick up the ball & come out with something similar, but I guess they figure if someone wants to go no frills they should just get a pedometer because of the popularity of cell phones.
