I've had a Fitbit, Samsung Smart, and Garmin. Fitbit and Samsung were almost a daily charge where my Garmin Solar lasts about a week. Both Fitbit and Samsung died on me roughly after a year and a half, Garmin has shown no issues.
I'll be switching to Garmin next time for other reasons, but my current Fitbit (Versa 3) actually has great battery life. 6-7 days between charges, unless I'm using the screen a lot.
I think both my Fitbit and Samsung were first or so gen, so I'm sure they've improved since then. But even still, I also like the simplicity of the Garmin screen vs having a small smart phone screen on my wrist.
