Should I buy a new FitBit or iWatch?

[MariskaB]

It looks like the life of my Ionic is about over and I will need to purchase a new fitness tracker/watch
1 Q: What is the top preforming Fitbit?

2. Q: What are the pros and cons of jumping ship and going with iWatch instead of Fitbit?

btw- I have been a Fitbit enthusiast for at least 5 years and used 2 Ionics. 

TIA

1.  Top performing is not easy to answer.  The Sense is the newest with most features.  But on the features that a watch does have, they all perform fairly similarly.

I not sure of useful life, but my Ionic went out after 21 months. Tech support suggestion to purchase a new. What is the useful life?

[MariskaB]

Thank you for your response. I have gone through 2 ionic and am now
debating purchasing a Sense or jumping over to an iWatch.

Looking for some pros and cons.

Thanks.

Doesn't the Apple Watch need charging every day, at least think they used to.

[MariskaB]

Yes. That is one issue w/AppleWatch.
I enjoy the Fitbit community and think I would miss it.
Also, I think Fitbit is more in tune with health and was one of the first,
so has more expertise in fitness.

Thank you Barry.
This is what I was looking for;input from someone who has used several.
My main reason for wanting a device is the health info and community for
encouragement and competition. So, with your info , I’m pretty sure to go
with the Sense.
It was nice for you to take the time to respond!

You are welcome Mariska!

I use it for health reasons and the one other thing that I really like, and it just popped in my Inbox, is the weekly progress email!

I find that an easily accessible way to see your progress (or lack off lol)

Regards,

Barry

[MariskaB]

Exactly! The weekly progress report is one of the features I would miss.

Hell no

Your advice is; do not buy either one? Do not buy a Fitbit . Do not buy an iWatch. Do I understand your advice?
