A question for ex fitbiters, what do you miss about Fitbit and do you regret moving on to Apple watch and leaving Fitbit behind?

    The Fitbit did sleep tracking like no other device I’ve used. That was the ONLY thing that it did right. Fitbit is garbage. Every Fitbit I ever had died about six month after the warranty ended. And the most they would offer is a coupon for 20% off another Fitbit. Talk about an abusive relationship. I’d been a customer of theirs since the very first step tracker they put out but I finally had to move on to Garmin. And then I got an iPhone and the rest is history. I now use an AW8 and an Ultra 2.

    Oh, and the Fitbit also kept the time pretty well.

      I relate to this. I mostly miss the sleep tracking. I had a Galaxy watch in between. Galaxy went far the other way with sleep tracking, so i have no idea who to believe. I like AW for so many things, though. I had the same issue with dissatisfying response from FitBit but the issue was the band breaking.

        Husband has a 5 and Utra, I have a 6 and 8. Use the older one for sleep, yard work, cleaning etc.

        I have an AW8 and I recently got an Ultra 2. I use the AW8 for when I want a smaller, lighter watch. It’s great for traveling and I do some workout, like boxing, where it gets uncomfortable under my gloves. I mostly use the Ultra 2 though. Also, I have cellular on the AW8 and haven’t transferred it to the Ultra 2 yet. I don’t like to bring my phone on hikes, so I wear the AW8 so that I have a connection. It’s an evolving situation. I will move cellular over, I’ve just been too lazy. 😂
