Looking for advice! My Fitbit Charge HR is dying on me and my husband wants to get me something for Mother's Day, but I can't decide between Fitbit Charge 2, Fitbit Blaze, or go smartwatch with Samsung Gear s2. Thoughts? Thanks!

    You can compare them both on the fit bit website. I just did and it seems the Blaze has a couple extra features, but it looks a little bigger and watch like. On screen work out and music control are the extra features to determine if its worth the extra $50 bucks.

    I'm curious what opinion everyone else has, as I have never had one but looking into getting one. *Disclaimer* The information I posted is just from viewing the website and not from personal experience. Haha

    I bought the Samsung gear s2 and returned it the next day. It recorded 300 steps while I was standing still brushing my teeth. Pointless.

    Thanks, guys! We bought the Charge 2 online for a great price. Waiting for it to come in. Hopefully I made the right choice! Thanks again!

    I use Fitbit charge 2, I bought gear fit 2 and didn't like it. It felt too bulky on my wrist. While wearing both gear fit 2 was adding too many steps for me.
    I used my charge 2 and polar chest strap during Insanity and most of the time both bpm were identical, only when I was 80% and up of my heart rate Fitbit was too slow to pick it up. But anything up to 150 -160 bpm readings were spot on.
