    Hi
    I am thinking of getting a fitbit.
    I just want to track my steps, my sleep and to tell the time.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    I don't carry my phone around with me at work

    A triumph of branding! Hoover, TippEx, and now Fitbit!

    Hailo could have learned a thing or two...

    I’d suggest looking into the polar watch range

    If it is just steps, sleep and the time I would recommend a Withings watch - they are very pretty watches imo and you don't feel like you are wearing a fitness device

    I've had the Alta HR for over a year and has been working perfectly. Picked it up for around €100 in a post Christmas sale

    I have the Alta HR myself and find it great.

    My better half and children have a Miband 3. I've been quite impressed - if it did resting heart rate I probably would've pulled the trigger myself. Under €30 on amazon, but could probably go cheaper directly from China.

    I've a Huawei Band 2 I was given for Christmas. Measures steps, swimming, cycling, running, sleep and heart rate. I don't use half the functionality on it, tbh, but for steps and time, it does the job!
