Venu 4

Simple. Return it, this is not the watch for you. I do believe the Garmin line is what you are looking for. Perhaps the Venu 4. Fitbit and the P4 are cursory stats, good for simple tracking. The watch is great for notifications like email, text etc. and simple step counts, swimming distance and HR s

Honestly, I like the Active 2 Premium much better. If you don't have it and consider the Active 3 and can fork more money, Gar in Venu 4 is a much better choice despite being double in price. You definitely get long term support ( Garmin keeps updating 5 years and above models) with periodic updates

Thanks, I hope to! I've actually liked my Garmin watch quite a lot, and it's been rock solid and reliable, but the price of the Venu 4 was a shocker! (I paid $270 for my watch on sale.) Ideally, Garmin would get a screen-less tracker out, and I could wear my watch for workouts, then something else,

I didn't think it was worth waiting. If anything, I'd expect the price to go up for Helio 2, and it may not be enough different of a device to warrant paying more.

Garmin has been a good value for me. My Fitbit Versa 2 made it two years before the battery started dying rapidly, and it wasn't the greatest for heart rate tracking either. My Garmin Venu 2s cost more, $270 (on sale) vs. $150 for the Fitbit (on sale), but the Garmin will be 4 years old come June an

FWIW, my Fitbit Versa 2 battery died after only two years of use, back in 2022. I bought a Garmin Venu 2s, and it's performed great. I love it far more than I ever did the Fitbit, which never felt very reliable with exercise/heartrate tracking. However, I don't think Garmin sleep tracking is as good

I had an Amazfit Bip in 2018 as my first smartwatch, but sadly, I managed to crack the screen before its first year was up. The battery life on the Bip was AMAZING! I got a solid month between charges. But it was hard to see the reflective screen indoors, and I didn't care for the blue light when it
