Want to buy either tracker as per the title for a Christmas present; both are around the same price at Officeworks, so no issues with pricing. Anyone have a recommendation/opinion on either of the trackers and which one I should get??
Thanks!
Fitbit Versa Vs Charge 3?

I'd say there is no point of on device music storage if you need to have your phone with you anyway (to use GPS for running)
I have the versa and I'm very happy with it.
It's not a true smartwatch purely because there doesn't appear to be an active enough developer community. It's a fitness tracker with smart elements that has potential to grow.
It depends upon who you're buying it for. I'd say someone who is fairly basic with their understanding of phones should go the charge. Someone who loves gadgets would prefer versa.
Bought my first Versa in July. After 6 weeks it would no longer hold a charge more than 6 hours (fully charged) got a replacement and that was a pig to sync -spent a lot of time on forum and live chat and phone chat to fix but this one was also replaced. Had this one a few weeks now and so far so good. Once they decide to replace, takes about 10 days to receive new one. Have to say they were good about it but if this one fails I will look to get something else.
I only bought this to replace Pebble (and to get TRS!) which IMO was still a better watch but now almost unmanageable with no support.I would go for a miband.
You can get the Amazfit bip from Amazon for $95. Lasts about a month on single charge and has built in GPS and HR
Oh, didn't know they would be the same price. I've had the Charge HR, and now the Charge 2.
I have reasonably slender wrists so probably the Charge 3. Using https://www.fitbit.com/au/compare, the only feature benefits to the Versa are personalised on-screen coaching, apps, music storage and designer accessories. Those things don't help the kind of workouts I do, and the apps aren't anything I'd find useful on my wrist.
