I had a charge 2 that did everything I needed it to do..counts steps, tells me how many calories I'm burning and shows me when my phone is ringing and other notifications..but it's died.
I'm wondering whether to get a charge 3 or pay more and get an apple watch. Any opinions?

No but following! It's down to the Apple Watch or Versa 2 for me.

I loved my charge but I just feel like an apple watch is like an upgrade I suppose..my boss has a versa, she loves it.

Never tried a Fitbit but I’m on my 3rd Apple Watch and love it. I have a series 4 at the minute.

Depends what you’re looking for really. This one prompts me to exercise if I haven’t already by about 11am, because it knows I normally do it earlier. The walky talky thing is good to contact others with the same watch. Can text or call from it. Find my phone when I leave it somewhere. Pings u if your heart rate isn’t at its normal. If DD is on YouTube on my iPad or phone it tells me what she’s watching and I can turn it off or change volume etc.

Defo worth the money if u have other Apple products to link it up with, and you exercise. I wouldn’t exercise half as much without it tbh.

Thanks for that, really useful. I think you've sold it to me!

I have a versa 2 and I have to say, I wish I’d bought the Apple Watch. Many things on the versa don’t work well with my iPhone - like the weather app - constantly disconnecting. I’ve given up on Alexa totally. When this fitbit breaks I will get an Apple Watch.

I've got a Fitbit Versa and an android phone, it works brilliantly. Does everything I need it to (heart rate, steps ,exercise etc and I can answer my phone using it and read and reply to texts) and nothing I don't and only needs charging once a week.
Dd has an apple watch and iphone, it needs charging every night but she loves it.

One thing to note, when my fitbit went haywire on holiday the customer services were excellent and I had a new one waiting but the time we got home. When dd's apple watch burnt through a charge in a few hours and was going a bit nuts, apple didn't want to know without an extortionate fee. Dh managed to fix it but if you're not tech minded this is something to consider.
