So I want to start losing some weight and track my activity while at work. I use to use the Apple Watch and I liked it because it’s a full fledge smart watch but was to bulkly and easily scratches and breaks so I’m thinking of trying a Fitbit but I’m not sure which one is best. I’m not looking to run miles a day I just want basic day to day tracking and if possible Fitbit pay

Hi @PaigeLynn if you want Fitbitpay you will need to get either the Sense or one of the Versa series. I wear a sense myself and really recommend it. The versas are good too. Both are smart watches so are bulkier than the trackers. However I have very small wrists and don't find either of them too bulky. The Versa series and the Sense have gorilla glass screens so are less prone to scratches or cracks, but it does happen occasionally (never happened to me tho).
If you just want a tracker tho, with no gorilla glass or fitbit pay then my favourite is the Luxe 🙂

@PaigeLynn Wow, you are right! Charge 5 does have fitbit pay! It still doesn't suit my small wrist, but if you have a more normal sized wrist it should fit well. Charge 5 might be a good choice for you - it also has gorilla glass 3!

Hi, welcome to the Community forums, @PaigeLynn!
The Fitbit smartwatches are great and have Fitbit Pay, like the Versa 2, Versa 3 and Sense.
But as you mentioned earlier, the Charge 5 is also a great device that provides the majority of the features that are also available with Fitbit smartwatches, except floor counting and other more advanced features like the speaker for example. Here you can check all the features that are available.
You can also use the Fitbit Online Store to check the specifications of each device or you can use this tool as well: Find the product that's right for you.
Have a great day.

I too would do a thorough comparison of pros and cons before purchase. nothing is worse than being excited and then disappointed because what you got isn't what you expected. I will say my husband is not a wrist tracker guy, he preferred the inspire. However, he is now wearing the charge 5 and hasn't complained, which is high praise from him.
