  • I got the Fitbit Charge 6 mostly to keep a better eye on my activity levels and sleep and I've really liked it so far. The battery lasts surprisingly long and I appreciate that it gives me useful health data without feeling overly complicated or distracting. It's comfortable enough that I basically forget I'm wearing it most of the time.

  • I've had a Fitbit Sense in 2021 that I wore all year and then, because I liked it so much (esp after trying an Apple Watch in 2023 which I hated), I came back and got a Fitbit Sense 2 in January of 2024 that I still wear now (end of July 2025). I did have to send it in in December of 2024 due to it stopping to charge and dying randomly but they sent back a refurbished one and that one's going strong still. I did have Fitbit Premium or whatever their membership is called until this month but then felt like it wasn't worth it anymore because it still offers all the metrics I desire in the free option. Overall all times I've had my fitbit I've really liked it. I like looking at all the data and love the long battery life. I use it for the most basic of tasks but for those I find it works really well. I have been considering changing to a Garmin Forerunner (not sure which one) to get more running specific features but for lifestyle tracking this watch works just fine.

  • I bought the Sense 2 from Walmart. The Fitbit app is free but there is Fitbit Premium which is extra. They give you a trial period for 90 days, after it cost $9.99 a month. Depending on the type you buy you get it for a longer period of time. This will give you additional features. The average life of a Fitbit is 3 to 4 years. I am trying to get into shape and I use this with an app WeWard. I make sure I get in my 10,000 steps a day. I would be lost without this! Lots of information can be retrieved on the Fitbit app. Highly recommend.

  • I have had multiple of the years. Honestly they do not have great longevity imo. They usually fall apart with the strap or the battery stops charging within a year or two. I still use and buy them cause I like counting my steps and the sleep feature. I also do not want to spend the money for an Apple Watch.

  • I'm loving my Fitbit – it's a game-changer for tracking my activity and health. The convenience and motivation it brings to my daily routine are unbeatable. However, I must admit I sometimes wonder about the accuracy of the numbers it provides. Whether it's step counts or heart rate, I take them with a grain of salt. But overall, it's a great addition to my fitness journey.

  • Fitbit has become an essential part of my fitness routine. It tracks my steps, heart rate, sleep, and workouts with incredible accuracy, helping me stay motivated every day. The design is sleek, comfortable, and easy to wear all day and night. The app syncs effortlessly and provides useful insights to improve my health. The battery life is solid, and I love the variety of features that keep me on track with my goals. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get more in tune with their fitness!

  • I love my Fitbit. I bought it when googling what the cutest Fitbit was because I hate 95 percent of them. I think most at ugly. Mine looks like a bracelet

  • I have both the Fitbit Inspire 2 and the Fitbit Luxe—both were gifts given over the course of 3 years. I loved both versions and only opted for the Luxe because it has a smaller face. The device itself is compact and sleek looking and Fitbit along with other random Amazon brands offer different options for the bands. The device comes a companion app and there are suite of accessories that are compatible with it as well, like the scale, which I also have. Overall, the device and app are super robust and make it easy to configure to your normal activities (i.e. walking the dog), logging food, taking part in daily goals and challenges, and tracking your activity. I started to wear the device less because I realized I don't like to wear much jewelry, but especially anything on my wrists. Fitbit does offer a small accessory where you can pop up the main face/head of the device and wear it on your body.

  • I tried an older version of a Fitbit Inspire. I loved how simple, but effective it was. It kept me motivated to be active.

  • They're okay, but I much prefer the functionality and look of the Samsung Galaxy watch I have now.

  • I’ve been using my Fit Bit for years! It’s perfect for everything I need without spending the insane amount of money an Apple Watch costs!

  • I’ve owned a Fitbit for several years. I’ve looked into Apple Watches before, but I like that Fitbit offers a more reasonably priced option to track your steps, sleep, & other health aspects.

  • I recently switched to an Apple watch but I loved my Fitbit. Compared to Apple Watches, the Fitbit battery lasted quite a bit longer and it seemed track steps very well. May consider switching back if my Apple Watch breaks.

  • Love my fitbit. Since getting a stylish silver band for work, I love it even more. The sleep function helps me track when I'm waking up, and my heartrate tracker helps also as I have tachycardia. So it's got great function outside of just my steps (which is great too). I also have one for my very active son. He loves to have competition with me and his Dad on who gets more steps in a day.
