What are the good alternatives? Been a fitbit user for a few years now and not sure who to switch to next.

Garmin. Vivoactive 3 purchased in 2017 is still working perfectly today. I’ve upgraded because I’m an unethical consumer but my mom now wears it. Other than less battery capacity, works perfect. Touchscreen, waterproof, and all.

Fitbit wristbands are faulty and keep detaching.

What kind of battery life does it get? One of the mains draws for sticking with Fitbit for me was only having to charge once a week or so.

Now it gets about 5-6 days. My new garmin gets charged once a month.

Whoa, what model only requires a monthly charge?
