Fitbit Inspire question

Hi all. I have a Fitbit One that I've had for years (4+) and it has finally quit syncing. A couple years ago I made a trade here for another one and I'm setting it up now. I know eventually it will quit too. I have never worn a watch so I don't want a wrist tracker. In my research it looks like the Fitbit Inspire can be separated from the band and put into a clip somewhat like the One. Is this right? Anyone have an Inspire and how do you like it? I love the One because I have a 2 story home and the One tracks stairs.
TIA.

P.S. I've been MIA for a while. How is everyone doing?

Welcome back!

My One finally gave up the ghost, too. I do not want a wrist tracker, so I'd be curious to hear from others on this, too. I wish they would revive the One! It was ideal for me.

Fitbit Versa

I have a fitbit versa. anyone want to trade for that? (this)

I just got it this year and what I don't like is having to charge the thing. I am better off with just a watch.

Then I put the thing on the charge and forget it. It's just not good for me because I really do not care how many steps I take in a day, i do what I gotta do

I don't even use the exercises that are built into the thing.

I see Amazon sells a clip for it, so I guess it would work similar to the One:

https://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Inspir...gateway&sr=8-3

I also have a Fitbit One (3+ years old) and I hate wearing things on my wrist. I keep my clipped to my bra between the cups and I wonder if other fitbits "wake up" a lot so you'd see it through my shirt?

Yes I saw it can be put into a clip but can"t find any info on it. I don't think it has a altimeter which is important to me

Wouldn’t the altimeter be in the device itself ?

I have a Fitbit one, & it stopped syncing, so I did a search, & found that it will sync if you reset it. To reset (it won't wipe out your activity for the day) 1. plug it into the charger 2. hold the little "button" on the one down for 12 seconds 3. take it off the charger 4. press the button again to turn it on (you might have to hold it down for a little while to get it to turn back on.) I hope this works for you.

I don't know if Fitbit is planning to stop supporting the one because of the hoops one has to go through to sync, but it would be a real shame. I think it's the only Fitbit device that counts steps accurately, & it was an inexpensive device that counts floors!

BTW, I have a Fitbit Blaze & a Fitbit Versa. I love the Versa for its music storage. I use the One when I do yard work.

I went to the fitbit website and put in floors climbed as the most important feature and it came back with three choices: Versa 2, Ionic, and Charge 3. Charge 3 looks like it could be used as a clip-on, but I don't see any available.

I did find this looking around:
