Fitbit Tracker Has Syncing Problems, Less Accurate Workout Tracking Than Rivals; Cheaper But Less Feature-Rich Than Smartwatches
- Connectivity issues with Fitbit app during testing, including failure to sync sleep data for almost a day
- Fitbit's SmartTrack doesn't detect workouts as quickly or accurately as Garmin's or Apple's systems
- No fall detection feature, unlike some competitors
- Fitbit Premium subscription ($10/month) required to see some key metrics like Daily Readiness Score
- Less expensive than smartwatches ($160 vs $300-$400) but not as slick; good basic tracker if you don't want complexity
