Should I buy a smart watch or a fitness tracker?

[bungalow]

I need a device to track my fitness activity and double as a watch to wear on my wrist all day.

Should I buy a smart watch or a fitness tracker? Which has better battery life?

Thanks everyone

Smart watch all the way. Access apps on them.

The fitness tracker is simpler and least expensive and more durable. Your needs depend on purchase. I prefer a smart watch then If I place hands in warm water I would like to know if it will break?

Go for a fitness tracker if you have a more active lifestyle and a smart watch if you're less active.

I've smashed my fair share of watches, personally I'd buy the fitbit. A fitness tracker is less likely to break.

How do you make a phone call on a smart watch? Is there a loud speaker?

That's a point. It'd be no use if I wash the dishes and the smart watch breaks.

Just checked the Fitbit website and didn't realise they have their own smart watch coming out - fitbit versa 2. I'm keen on using their on screen workouts and sleep score calculator.
