I've wanted one for a while, but I wanted the versa so I could wear it swimming. I've saved up, bit the bullet and bought it (even though I won't be wearing it swimming for a while just yet!).

Gosh, it's good. I'm adding my water, logging my food, I've set my goals. I logged last nights sleep, it's fascinating. And motivating.

Anyone else enamoured with theirs?

I'm up for a challenge if anyone fancy it ?

@wormshock

I love mine, it's helped me lose 3 1/2 stone in lockdown! I do the challenges to keep me motivated.
Wow well done, this is what I'm hoping for. I've gotten so over weight, I'm hoping it motivates me to move more (although I really need to eat less as well)

Loved mine, replaced with an Apple Watch about 3 years ago (which has also been replaced - I get them via my health insurance, so not as wasteful as it sounds!). DD gets my hand me downs. We're total Apple Watch bores 😂

I loved mine but have now switched to Garmin. Better for exercise but I’m still not convinced I won’t sell it and go back to my Fitbit!

For those looking to lose weight I recommend the Fitbit scales as well. They sync to your Fitbit so it tracks your weight loss too.

I had a charge 3 and my wrist got sore. Switched to the sports strap and had no further problems.

Is it better than an Apple Watch?

PrimalLass · 06/08/2020 23:51

I can't decide between the Versa 2 or an Apple Watch. The Apple 3 is the same price.

Fitbit really let me down by adding so many steps when o was driving yet not counting the ones i took pushing a shopping trolley. All other aspects of it, including sleep tracker, out perform the Apple Watch (which I now have) imo. But the steps were wildly inaccurate on 3 different types - all of which I got because I returned the previous models for the same reason.

I hate mine. Glitchy as hell. Turns off the gps tracking after about ten mins of a walk or bike ride. It used to be fine. I tweet them every day about it, they keep telling me they’re investigating.

JacobReesMogadishu · 07/08/2020 00:03

And i paid extra for the one with nfc so mcould use it to pay for stuff....then turns out you need to bank with Santander! Which I don’t!

Had a Versa it was so unreliable I think the new version will be an improvement however the charge 4 has great reviews so will buy that this time. Really miss a Fitbit

HeadAndShoulders · 07/08/2020 00:31

When you said Fitbit wanker I thought you meant something else ...

Gotthetshirt23 · 07/08/2020 00:48

I've had many (all replaced by Fitbit) as rubbish batteries etc)
The sleep part is fab , love it and yet to find anything as good ?

I've just bought one on Monday to finally try loose my baby and lock down weight 15 months later.. its definitely giving me a kick up the bum and accountability it definitely lies about calories burnt though mines far too high for my activity but I love the step counter and logging everything! Drinking atleast 3L a day and have stopped drinking.

theneverendinglaundry · 07/08/2020 07:51

I love my fitbit! I have a Charge 3, just because it was the cheapest. I cant wait to see my step count go up when the school runs start again in September.

I live in a townhouse so my floor count is always 30-40 a day 😂
