More affordable Fitbit device with built in GPS

Status: Released Submitted by on ‎08-25-2018 16:55

Can Fitbit please create a model with built-in GPS that is more affordable than the Ionic?  I don't need help with breathing, text alerts, or ability to pay with my watch.  I want the features of the original Charge HR with sleep stages and built-in GPS.  When my Charge 2 wears out, if another model fitting these specs is not available through fitbit, I will be seriously considering other brands with built-in GPS around the Charge 2 price point.

This is exactly what attracted me to the surge originally. Now it’s time to upgrade, my only “requirement” is a built in GPS, and I wasn’t prepared for the price of the ionic.

 

I love the evolution of technology. However, I’m drawn to FitBit for its experience as a fitness tracker. I don’t feel that the smart watch capabilities are worth it if the fitness side of things are lacking; I look forward to Fitbit for finding the balance.
