Should I buy the Garmin Venu 3 or Fitbit Charge 6?

The better buy depends on what you want from the device.

Choose the Garmin Venu 3 if you want:

• A more smartwatch-like experience with a larger AMOLED display
• Strong all-around fitness and health tracking without a subscription for core data
• Longer battery life than most full smartwatches
• Extra smartwatch features like call handling on compatible phones, depending on setup

Choose the Fitbit Charge 6 if you want:

• A slimmer, lighter band for all-day wear and sleep
• A lower-cost option
• Fitbit’s simpler, more guided health and fitness experience
• Google integrations like Maps navigation, Wallet, and music controls

My quick pick:

• Buy the Garmin Venu 3 if you want the more capable all-rounder and don’t mind the bigger size or higher price.
• Buy the Fitbit Charge 6 if you want the best compact, budget-friendly choice and mainly care about comfort and basics.
