Hi
My 8yo is badgering me for a children fitbit- he has even saved up to contribute towards it but I’m not willing to shell out £100 for something that he will lose, break, get bored etc. Any cheap alternatives that will do roughly the same thing - tell time, heart rate, pedometer etc

It's the heart rate Fitbits that bump the price up - could you get your son a cheaper Fitbit - the Fitbit Flex 2 does everything he needs apart from the heart rate - steps, distance, sleep, it's water resistant too and they're only around £50-£60Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -

Does he want a fitbit because he has friends with one? You can 'compete' to reach a target etc via fitbit. It's got to be better than him being a couch potato but he seems very young to want this - so why?0
