You may be wondering whether you would like to get Garmin Vivofit 2 or Fitbit Charge. These are developed by two different companies so some people may be biased towards one over the other. When it comes to features, there are also some differences. The Vivofit 2 will come with a “twist lock.” This will allow it to fit better around your wrist. The Fitbit Charge 2 will not have a battery life that is as long as VivoFit 2. Another handy feature of the VivoFit 2 is that you can change its strap and all. This will make it very ideal for you when you want your watch to fit your clothes.

One of the major differences between Garmin Vivofit 2 and Fitbit Charge is that they are devices developed by two different companies. Garmin Vivofit 2 is one of the products of Garmin, while is one of the devices produced by Fitbit.

While you may not be able to make any obvious comparison of the fitness trackers when you differentiate them in terms of design because they are both classic and attractive devices, however, there are other areas where you can easily see their differences. For instance, the battery capacity of the two devices is different.

While the Fibit Charge can only last for approximately six days, the battery of Garmin Vivofit 2 is said to last longer compared to that of the Fibit Charge, as it can last for approximately a year. Unlike the Fibit Charge that uses a great OLED display, the Vivofit uses a beautiful LCD display. While both devices support good apps, the Fibit Charge has more and better apps.

There are some differences between the two but people usually choose Garmin when they want to have a fitness tracker that will have a battery that will last for a long time. Some would rather choose Fitbit 2 when they want something that comes with some cool features. Take note that the Fitbit 2 would need to be charged once a week.

If this does not bother you at all, then this can be the best choice for you. One thing that people like about Garmin is it comes with interchangeable straps. Let us say that you do not like how the strap looks like with your outfit. Choosing will definitely make a huge difference.

Both of these are fitness devices cost around the same amount of money. The Vivofit 2 has an interchangeable strap, and it changes colors like a chameleon. The Fitbit has a heart rate monitor in the HR version, but it’s an extra $20. You can get a chest strap for less money for the Vivofit 2. The Fitbit has more features, but it is at the expense of battery life.

The Vivofit is an American multinational company, which is headquartered in Switzerland. It was found in 1989. The company got its beginning with a navigation unit that was sold to the US military. Fitbit is an American corporation in San Francisco, California, that was initiated in 2007. The company dealt with controversy with the Fitbit Force. Overall, Vivoft seems to have better features.
