Fitbit has a good niche.

Samsung is shit

    Fitbit 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.

    Huh.. 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?

    That'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.

    I've been using a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for about 2 years now. Apart from the usual scuffing, no other issues really.

    I 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.
