Fitbit charge 3 or garmin 4?

I’m a runner and I want to get back into tracking my activity and overall fitness and etc. Which one do you prefer and why?

    I purchased the Fitbit Charge 3 in April. It worked great for the first month, but lately I'm having problems with syncing. Very frustrating.

    I have had both; Garmin Forerunner and the FitBit Versa. I love the Garmin and miss it dearly. When this FitBit is cap putt, I will go back to Garmin.

    Garmin vivoactive 3. Great watch, great app, great web site.

    I have the FitBit Ionic and I love it. It's a little pricey, but totally worth it. I use to have a Garmin but never loved it.

    I have a fitbit charge 3 nothing but trouble with syncing. Fitbit admitted it was faulty and replaced it but I still have the same issues, as do a lot of other fitbit users. Just be warned if you get one that works properly they are great but syncing with the fitbit app can be problematic.

    If you're a runner, the choice is obviously Garmin. Hands down.

    I had a garmin.. after 2 years I killed it. Replaced with a Fitbit. Same price categories. Wish I would of bought another Garmin 😑 more features, and I feel better tracking for same price.
