Which fitness tracker?

Hi, my fitbit is dying and I need a new tracker. I only want it for HR, steps, sleep, exercise. I don't need a smart watch or anything fancy. I'm a bit sick of fitbit tbh. Has anyone got any recommendations for a reasonably priced tracker?

Are they quite expensive? Do you need to pay a subscription for the app? Is the market just fitbit or garmin?

Place marking as I'm in the same boat and want to move away from Fitbit as they've changed the app layout and it's not as good.

Yeah, I'm not keen on the update. Plus the chargers are awful. It's also a bit of a rip off having to pay for the app.

I love Garmins too. I’m on my second having had a fairly basic one at first. I now have one with GPS etc as I like to track my running. App is free - no cost other than the watch itself.

Depends how much you want to spend though. Their fitness bands are £70, lowest price smartwatch is £180.

I got my first Garmin over an Apple Watch or Fitbit as I saw a friends and it’s just a much nicer looking watch along with being a good device.

And to answer, no, you don't have to pay for the Garmin Connect App.

Garmins are great, and the Connect app is free

The very basic ones don't track sleep, but I think the Forerunner 45 might (the Forerunners 245 and above do) Vivosmart (3 and above), Vivomove, most Fenix
