Garmin, Fitbit, Apple? Other?

I want to buy a wearable fitness tracker, the watch type.

If you use one or know someone who does, what would you recommend?

Thanks.

I think it really depends what you are looking to get out of it and what style you want. I have had fitbits (older ones) and they were fine for tracking steps. I now have a Garmin that has a lot more options... run/walk/bike/swim and many others. It also has a heart rate monitor and tracks sleep. It syncs with my phone and will send notify me of calls, texts and facebook messages, but I can also turn those off. What features are important to you?

Hi Cincy'sMom.

Thanks for replying. I had also posted this on FB and a cousin of mine mailed me a Fitbit Flex she had used, but now had a Garmin. I think I'm all set. Thanks!
