Looking to purchase a new fitbit and asking the community what they like best.  I used to have the iconic but it was recalled and I loved it.  (kinda wish I didn't give it up) That beings said, looking into the Sense, Versa 3 or Charge 5.

Thoughts everyone?

@Cappy66  Since you're in the Charge 5 group, take a look at all of the recent postings.  Many of us, myself included, updated a perfectly working device with the latest firmware only to have it bricked.  If you purchase a new Charge 5, I would recommend not updating the firmware until the latest problems are resolved.

Aside from intermittent sync issues I have liked my brand new Charge 5 (loved my Charge 4). There are some warts and annoyances, but I am happy overall, and didn't want all that extra smart watch stuff.

Don't get a charge5. Mine is 2 months old and the battery lasts an hour at most. Fitbit is zero help and offers zero support. In fact you shouldn't even bother with this brand. Major gamble that I personally wouldn't have taken had I known better.
