jcgator2016 wrote: »Hey Team, got a quick question.
My wife wants a fitbit for Christmas. I'm an android guy (Garmin), so I don't know anything about fitbits. She wants the square one, but has to have a watch face with a sweeping second hand thats she can see without readers. She doesn't run marathons, doesn;t need split times, or any of that stuff. Just wants to record steps, biking, HR, etc.
I noticed the Fitness Blaze Special Edition has the watchface she likes, but it also has tons of features she is not interested in.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Jim!
I have a Fitbit Versa and I like the size of the watch face. You’re able to change the face through the app and I’ve seen sweeping ones. I wanted the Versa mostly because it’s waterproof and I was on a water aerobics kick for a while. The Fitbit Charge 3 is also waterproof and has many of the same features with great reviews. I think my next one may be the Charge 3.
You can go to Fitbit.com and compare any of them. The only thing I don’t like about the Versa, is I’m on my 4th one in the last year and a half. A couple of them just died on me. They were under a yr old, so still under warranty. I bought my 2nd one at Target and they switched it out with the receipt. If you have a Target Red Card, you can save 5% on them, even if they are already at a discounted price. I saw a commercial tonight and they’re on sale at Kohl’s now too😊 I think Fitbit’s website has lowered their prices too for the holidays.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. I’ll post a pic of my current watch face, simple and digital. You can customize most watch faces too-pick your colors for sweeping hand, numbers, etc.

Thoughtful Thursday: How do we turn those negative thoughts around?
Here is some reading to do when you have a quiet moment....
I'll be working on these techniques this week! I hope you will join me and share with us what has worked for you.
Tips to shift your Mindset:
https://health.usnews.com/wellness/articles/2016-09-19/10-ways-to-shift-your-mindset-for-better-weight-loss
Replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/what-mentally-strong-people-dont-do/201805/the-beginners-guide-changing-negative-thoughts
When positive affirmations aren’t working, a slightly different technique:

Visualizing your goals for athletes can be almost as effective as practicing those goals:
