I want more of a watch than a device. Going to check out the FitBit Versa an Ionic on the strength of the recommends here.
FitBit doesn't have GPS though.What's up with that?

It doesn’t have it self contained but if you have your phone on you I believe it then uses your phone GPS to give you that information in the app. I know I have seen something in the past on my app like that.
But I’m guessing a lack of a fully function GPS is part of being able to sell at the price point they do. Costco generally has them about $30 cheaper on the new models which will also come with an extra band.
My wife has the Charge 2 and she likes it. I haven’t really seen that my slightly larger screen on the Blaze makes much difference.
One thing I have noticed is the phone connectivity to the watches seems to come and go in their old age. Syncing with the app is fine but getting messages and calls on the watch isn’t reliable anymore. That was actually a very nice feature so you don’t have to find your phone to check it while exercising or even really doing anything else.
