I've had my Fitbit One for almost 7 years now and it is now having problems keeping a charge and registering information correctly.

 

I've been looking for a new fitness tracker to wear when I play pickleball/tennis.  I've been looking at ones for the wrist (mainly the Charge 5) in order to get heartrate ratings when I play.

 

But after some thought I think I'd prefer not to have something else on my wrist and just forget about heartrate.

 

Is there a Fitbit (or other brand) fitness tracker like the Fitbit One...that I can wear on my waistband?

 

Thanks!

Hi @TripleB67  Inspire 2, with an optional clip is much like the One. It doesn't have an altimeter, so you can't count flights of stairs.

My One is  about 8 years old and works beautifully, with just a slightly shorter battery charge. I am thinking that eventually I am going to have to replace it and I want nothing on my wrist. I am not happy with the Inspire reviews.

Hi @juicyjuice  have a family member who doesn't like anything on the wrist, so I gave them an Inspire 2 with an optional clip. They have had no problems with it. They never had the One, but previously had a wrist based Fitbit.

Does the inspire 2 also have an app that you get all the information like your steps, sleep, water intake etc. Like the app for Fitbit One. But, battery life seems to be on its last leg, used to charge every other week. Now, it's almost every other or every day. Assuming from my search battery cant be replaced.

Mine also works really well, and does what I need it to do. Except battery life is almost non-existent at this point. Charge is really fast to full charge, next day it says it's low. Sure wish they still made these. The wrist ones where you have to swing your arms are totally useless for me. My arms shouldn't have anything to do with how many steps I'm taking. Just my opinion.
