The editors didn't like
A little bulky for small wrists
Not waterproof
App can be difficult to navigate
Only supports connected GPS
So keep your phone with you if you need maps
Cardio fitness score is only an estimate of VO2 max and is arguably limited in its usefulness
Smartphone notifications are limited compared to other similarly priced devices
Inaccurate distance tracking
No pause function
Battery life Fitbit seems to have decided that 45 days of battery life is good enough
But other brands are offering much more
Sensitivity is a bit on the lower end for this OLED screen
Don't sweat the small stuff if the guided breathing sessions aren't helping you relax
Not water resistant
Prev2 of 2Next

Requires smartphone GPS to map routes

Accuracy issues
Mocks your lazy ways
Faint screen
Attracts fingerprints
Bulky for small-wristed folks
Awkward side-scrolling notifications on a vertical screen
Not swim resistant
