Will Fitbit become obsolete?

[Pegalina]

I am an iPhones user.  I own versa 2 and  wanted to upgrade. As a senior citizen I am interested upgrading for additional  health monitoring features. I don’t like  pixel watch. I don’t like the look of it. I like the squircle face watch and I don’t want to invest in an expensive Apple Watch. What is the future of the Fitbit watch? I’ve been very happy with it. And I can’t find anything else that is compatible with an iPhone.  I don’t want to upgrade if it’s going to become obsolete. If that’s the case then I’ll get an Apple Watch $$$

I have a Versa 3 and am watching it in terms of durability issues.  What do others think?

No one here on the community forums knows what Google is going to do with Fitbit. There was articles online a couple Months ago claiming someone from Fitbit stated no more smart watches, but fitness and health trackers like the Charge will continue production.

Thanks for the response. So if the charge will still be produced then can we safely say that they will continue to support the product?

I also have versa 3 and 2. I found the glass face was hanging off the versa three when I woke up in the morning. Both 2 and 3 don't give you the battery life shelf as they claim they do. I was very disappointed after spending a couple of hundred dollars both times. This was one of the selling points for me.

So what do you have to say good brother?

im interested in knowing if I should go ahead and buy the charge. Any opinions?

I am not "the good brother" but I think I would monitor information from Fitbit to determine what they will do with this fitness line in the future.  On another note, I do not monitor my sleep using my Versa 3 as the watch face seems to be vulnerable to breakage. I never have, so perhaps that is why my fitness watch is still working.  The downloading of the most recent update was fairly challenging, but it eventually worked.  Hope this helps.
