    I have had a fitbit charge, samsung fit2 and Garmin Vivoactive hr. The Garmin is my favorite and the one I regularly use. My whole family know wears various Garmin devices.. The Samsung wasn't too bad, but has a really really really short battery life, but an awesome display. I went through several fitbits, they kept breaking or had battery issues and I just got tired of it.

    I have a VAHR and thinking of a Fenix or Forerunner 935. Something for triathlon training

    I have a Garmin Forerunner 920 for triathlon training. I love it!

    I just switched from a Fitbit HR Charge 2 to the Garmin Vivomove HR. I will say that Fitbit seems to be better suited for intregrating MFP data and keeping you on track throughout the day. However, I have found that the Garmin has better features for workouts like notifying you when you’ve left your target heart rate range for an activity - such as too low or too high. I have found it’s been helpful in pushing me when I’ve taken a longer walk period on a jog or when I’m over doing it. Hope this helps!
