Fitbit Charge 5 or Apple watch?

I like that Fitbit is cheaper and has better sleep analysis it seems but hate the lack of band options I’ve found online. I don’t need my phone at my wrist either which is why I’m leaning towards the Fitbit. Anyone feel strongly about either one and why?

If all you’re looking for is fitness tracking, the Apple Watch is overkill.

That’s what I’m thinking. Not worth the money to pay for an Apple watch at this point.

I love my fitbit because it’s super light and I only have to charge it every few weeks. Also there are a lot of band options on Amazon and Etsy if that’s a big concern.

I’m not seeing a lot of different band options for the charge 5. I’m seeing the same wide band but just in multiple colors and a few metal ones. The apple watch and other smart watches have all these cute small bands that look more feminine, bracelet like, and can be dressed up. The wider bands look so big on my wrist. Not a good enough reason to not get the fitbit but I’m surprised there aren’t more options.

I had a Fitbit and switched to an Apple Watch when my husband got it for me as a gift. For the first several months I was kinda pissed he bought me the Apple Watch because I didn’t like it as much as a Fitbit. It’s been almost a year now and I’m used to the Apple Watch. My favorite feature of the Watch is pinging my phone when I’ve lost it 😂

Same! I also like the timers and the feature where you can set your watch to unlock your phone if FaceID sees that you’re masked (great in airports or on cold days with scarves)

Apple Watch by far.

Apple Watch by far. Especially if you already use an iPhone. I won’t even think of the Fitbit

The Garmin Forerunner is great on battery and tracking.

I’ve been using fitbits for years now and I’m very happy with them. I currently have a luxe and I think it’s cute and feminine. I used to have a charge 2 and got a gold band on Amazon that looked really nice too. Is the charge 5 new? There might not be too many options yet but I haven’t had a problem finding cute bands. I like how small the luxe is. I accidentally kept it on at a wedding I recently went to but it still looks fine in the pictures
