    Love my garmin. Never have to charge it and it's waterproof so I don't have to take it off. My friend has a fit bit and it seems like a hassle

    I love my MiBand 2 - a $20 Chinese unit (I think Amazon sells it for the US, I am in the Philippines). It is rated IP67 waterproof, so no need to remove it for showers, but don't scuba dive in it. I get almost 20 days between battery charges. I have tracked and verified the accuracy of the pedometer and heart rate monitor.

    There is a three dollar 3rd party app (Notify & Fitness) for the phone that adds tons of extra functionality over the minimal official app. It adds a lot of extra workout tracking options, better sleep and heart monitor tracking. A great app.

    I bought it just as a cheap entry level model to see if I wanted to spend more on a name brand unit. I fell in love with the MiBand and have no desire for anything else. It does more than I will ever need.
