What's this?

I see people say this and it's never been true in my experience. I wear my

watch overnight. I charge it when I get in the shower in the morning and before bed at night and I never have an issue with it dying. And I'm not sure I'd say any Fitbit has "a lot of the same functionality". It really depends on what you're using it for. If you only care about fitness/sleep tracking then yeah a Fitbit will work just fine. If you're using it as a companion/extension of your phone for various apps, email, texts, etc then you're going to see a pretty big difference in terms of functionality between the two.

I'm roll with the FitBit. Love it for counting calories burned, etc. -- BG Hokie 05/16/2019 2:54PM

They are nice and useful, but the battery life stinks -- WestyHokie 05/16/2019 2:51PM

The weakness of every Apple product. You would think they would figure it -- UTPr0sim 05/16/2019 4:49PM

Hmmm. My old SE phone does just fine. -- Hokie Bird 94 05/16/2019 5:19PM

They have. The only way they make money is selling the next years model. ** -- 133743Hokie 05/16/2019 5:03PM

Obviously anecdotal but I've never really had battery issues with any of -- AbsolutVT03 05/16/2019 4:54PM

I think my XR is good for 5+ days on a full charge -- EDGEMAN 05/17/2019 08:27AM

Again, not in my experience. ** -- AbsolutVT03 05/16/2019 4:56PM

I usually get about 40+ hours on it before I need to charge on the series 4 -- No Clue 05/16/2019 3:32PM

I can attest, the Fitbit Versa has great battery life. Want to be FitBit -- BG Hokie 05/16/2019 3:00PM

Prefer 24/7 for fitness tracking; don't want to randomly take off to charge ** -- WestyHokie 05/16/2019 3:23PM

You should probably get a garmin ** -- Hokie Bird 94 05/16/2019 4:44PM

Agree, I just take my Versa off occassionally when sitting at work. ** -- BG Hokie 05/16/2019 4:30PM

That's a different argument though. And even a Fitbit isn't -- AbsolutVT03 05/16/2019 4:09PM

I think you get about 1.5-1.75 days out of a full charge. -- EDGEMAN 05/16/2019 2:57PM

I wear it at night for sleep tracking, by about 1 p.m. next day it's dead -- WestyHokie 05/16/2019 3:22PM

Love mine, and I went 20 years without wearing one. ** -- agray123 05/16/2019 2:48PM

Have had a Series 0, Series 2, and now Series 4. Love it. ** -- AbsolutVT03 05/16/2019 2:45PM

I liked my series 3 enough to trade it in for a series 4 when it came out -- No Clue 05/16/2019 2:35PM
