Reset Fitbit for Garmin

I love this watch. I have small wrists and the 4s fit perfectly. The data Garmin provides is what you would normally pay for with Fitbit Premium. However, the data is much more accurate and free! For example, I live in a two-story townhouse. Ever since I moved here, Fitbit has stopped tracking my stair climbs. Since I bought a Garmin I have had no trouble tracking stairs and don't even realize how much I'm walking up and down stairs in a day. Keep in mind that while the clock is smaller, there is enough space on the face to display information. It loads quickly, the choice of watch faces is endless, and the choice of activities is very diverse. I love the mobile app. Dark mode is easy on the eyes and provides highly customizable information about your body that is useful. Garmin really does a great thing. The Fitbit was good for what it was, but the watch now lasts less than a year and has long had a reputation for being too buggy due to sync issues. Every year the same problems pop up when customer support doesn't offer any solutions, the same canned answers. See for yourself on the Fitbit support forums. Also, Fitbit focuses mostly on steps, while Garmin considers all activities to reach your fitness goals. Goodbye Fitbit. Hello Garmin!
