Fitbit Versa 3 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2

First of all, you will have to pay for fitbit premium to get all of your analytics, and so by that i mean they have some custom workout plans and some...

During an outdoor run, the Active2 logged 1.13 miles to the Stryd's 1.0 mile, for a difference of 0.13

My fourth Fitbit, first Smart Watch. Has an issue with maintaining connection to GPS and syncing with the fitbit app. Sometimes it won't sync for days at a time until I manually sync it. I read several negative reviews on these issues, but hoped for better and was let down

* Still no real iMessage competitor! Google Messages is clunky/slow and Link-to-Windows stopped working a few months back and the only solution I've found online is to factory reset my phone. Uh, no.

It feels light and comfortable on my wrist, even when I wear it to bed. It comes in three color options: black aluminum with a black band, soft gold aluminum with a navy band, or soft gold aluminum with a pinkish band. 

The 40mm version fits nicely on my smaller wrist and the metal finish looks premium compared with the first Galaxy Watch Active. The aluminum version is available in black, silver or pink gold with a synthetic rubber strap, while the stainless-steel version comes in a silver, black or gold finish, with a leather band. The LTE version is only available in stainless steel. The color AMOLED screen is bright and easy to see in direct sun, as long as you have the brightness cranked up to its maximum

Ironically I use Google fit instead. That said. The Apple Watch battery is rough at one-day.

\- The battery saving mode on the GW4 only offers a few extra hours compared to extra days on the GWA2

I owned an Ionic before this one and it lasted about two years before the screen started screwing up. Hopefully this one will last longer.

The charging is relatively fast, enough for it to almost be 100 before I sleep after a 15 min charge. Durability/ waterproofing: I heard a lot of people say that they use this watch for swimming, but I'm too scared to take a 250 dollar device into the pool. I wouldn't personally recommend it. The durability seems good though, but I haven't run into any problems

What makes this worse is that while like many other watches out there, you can find a bounty of 'compatible with' bands to choose from. But almost all of them are of this same stupid design. It just simply makes NO SENSE to me. Some others have complained about the lack of ability to store more faces, or to stream/store music, but honestly

4.Nice looking design. 5.Colorful and bright screen (the resolution is a bit too low though)

49]([URL REMOVED] and the Fitbit app is version 3.49.1. My Pixel 5 just updated today to Android 12 (not beta)

Running into this issue about a week after updating to latest version which included some of the new Watch faces from GW4. It is unrecoverable at this point. I force reboot by pressing both buttons for 10 seconds, it shows the Samsung Watch Active 2 boot screen, says rebooting, then the same logo without "rebooting", then just a logo with "Samsung", then the vibrator turns on briefly, then the unit powers off. Unable to get it to stay running

I did some research and found out that FitBit Versa 3 is the most suitable item under budget for me.

Also, that price is pretty nice. Currently $279 on Amazon for the 40mm model. Not bad….

I never get any notifications. I returned the first one thinking it might have just been an issue with that one watch, bit the 2nd one did the same thing. I had my wife try to connect her iPhone to see if it was just an Android issue, but it did the same for her. very disappointing

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active a couple of years ago because my Pebble was showing its age and Rebble wasn't cutting it anymore. I just wanted something waterproof, lasts at least 2-3 days, easy to use, and gives me notifications. I'm probably easier to please when it comes to features than most people. It did the job just fine imo

I don't need or want all the features of an Apple watch. I'm trying to disconnect from my phone a little, and getting my text/call/email notifications on my wrist is really nice. I can't respond on my wrist since I have an iphone, but I'm checking my phone and scrolling mindlessly less than I was. I also like getting reminders to get up from my desk and walk around during the day

It's really soothing. Reminds me of an old clock I had in my house and the white noise is relaxing.

I have been using Fitbit devices for nearly ten years. While I have been satisfied over the years my satisfaction has been lessoned over the past 3 years because of a lack of progress with Fitbit devices. Fitbit devices today are made for people who want to track steps counts through the day and occasionally track a moderate workout. Current devices are not made for anyone tracking a serious workout

Aside from the initial load of a new app. - SO comfortable to wear. It's not bulky. I'm in Utah in the winter and wearing sweaters or hoodies or jackets constantly
