Smart watch anyone?

[Jason]

I am planning to buy a smart watch to track my daily fitness activity and see where i stand. I am thinking of getting a Fossil Hybrid watch. Anyone using any smart watch and what is your experience with it.

I use a Garmin Vivoactive 3. Not sure if you can still get them, if you can they are probably heavily discounted on sites like Amazon. For the most part I like it, although it's not great at tracking floors if it's running in regular passive mode. My Fitbit One tracks floors much more accurately in regular usage. When you initiate an activity and it uses the GPS it gives you some really good metrics, and is more accurate and more consistent than the Fitbit.

I think I paid $120 or so for mine, plus another $15 or so for a nicer metal strap for it so it doesn't feel like nasty silicone on my wrist. Some people like silicone straps, but I'm not one of those people
