Fitness Trackers - Fitbit vs Garmin

[Golden0ldie]

Looking for recommendations please. Fitbit Charge 3 versus Garmin Vivosmart 4. Have had both brands in the past. I think the Fitbit was more accurate with steps but the Garmin is a draw because it’s smaller and slimmer. Want it chiefly to track running - not that I do much but hoping it will incentivise me!! Thanks.

Anyone ..... 🙂

Bumping for you OP, as I want to know too :)

I like my Garmin Vivo music. I can't compare though as I have never had a fitbit.

My daughter works in a sports store and bought me a Garmin after my fit bit died.
She said less returns and complaints with the Garmin.

I have a Fitbit versa, having had Fitbit for years. Fitbit customer service has always been excellent for me. Versa is good for me. Can track walks and hikes and yoga and swimming.

Thanks for your replies so far! Interesting! I guess it’s horses for courses to an extent. I do like the size of the Garmin though my last was returned as faulty which is when I got the Fitbit, so good o hear fewer returns with Garmin.
