minus-squarecommandar@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up19·10 months agoFitbit is owned by Google and has the same policy of not repairing cracked screens. I owned a Sense 2 and was in a bicycle crash. Screen hit the pavement and shattered. Absolutely no options from Fitibit/Google to get it repaired. I switched to Garmin and couldn’t be happier.
minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoHuh… I missed when Google bought them. That sucks. Might end up with a Garmin as well when this one dies. Does it integrate with other apps like chronometer?

minus-squarecommandar@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months agoThat’s a really great point and another reason I’ve really enjoyed the Garmin experience – Garmin doesn’t try to sell your own data back to you. Getting anything more than the absolute most basic of real time data out of a Fitbit requires an annual subscription. With Garmin, it’s just there.
minus-squarer_se_random@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoI’ve been using a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for about 2 years now. Apart from the usual scuffing, no other issues really.
minus-squareCMLVI@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI swapped from a 3 to a 5 pro and same. I got it specifically for fitness stuff, and aside from issues with HR monitoring on my hairy arms, no issues. It’s not my favorite option, but I got it on sale for like $400 while similar specced Garmin and other options push $7-800.
