    Garmin has so many different trackers for different niches. Scuba, hikers, bikers, runners, pilots…

    I switched after getting my third Fitbit replacement under warranty. Affordable and standard watch band parts, though some high-end trackers are a bit pricey for me.

    Just no reason to stay with Fitbit with Google’s history of product longevity and support.

        The lower end Garmins are only like $20-40 more than a Fitbit (and frankly they are so much better it justifies the price)

        Fitbits also only last 6-12 months - so depending on how unlucky you are with your warranty timing the Garmin likely works out to be cheaper
