"Charge 6 in my opinion."
"I’ve enjoyed the charge 6 for about a year, I got the pale grey / white band which is pretty gender neutral imo."
"Out of all the Charges I have owned 2-6 ... the 6 is the best one"
"I like my charge 6. I get 6 days battery and the HR tracking is great."
"Inspire 3! Very comfortable, smart-wake is a feature I can’t live without now and battery not only lasts ages, but charges very quick too."
"My Charge 5 died recently & I bought a Sense 2 which has a lot of bells & whistles. Suggest buying her a Charge 6."
"Charge 6"
"Just upgraded my Versa 2 to the Charge 6. Loving it!"
"Charge 6 and Inspire 3 are much better options for simplicity, battery life, cost, et cetera."
"Charge 6. I've had it for 1.5 years. I love it!"

"The battery life is great, and sleep tracking works well."
"The battery life is great, and sleep tracking works well."
"I switched over from a Fitbit Versa 3 to the Forerunner 255 a month ago and couldn't be happier with the decision."
"I've since upgraded watches, and like Garmin even more now."
"The FR965 offers an impressive 35 days of battery life and accurate tracking features, making it a significant upgrade from the Sense 2."
"The kids' companion device for my daughter is far superior to Fitbit, boasting a one-year battery life."
"I wear my Garmin Vivosmart 5 constantly on my right wrist and love it."
"Garmin offers many features like VO2max, morning report, and customizable faces that Fitbit lacks."
"After my last one died, I decided to invest in a garmin."
"The devices are both fine but Fitbit requires a paid subscription for a lot of the data. Garmin lets you see all analytics for free."
