Yes, I stopped my FitBit HR this year when I got my Apple Watch Series 1. Love it!
Interesting..I switched from Apple Watch series 1, to Charge 2 HR.
1. It was annoying that the Apple Watch wouldn't automatically recognize movement aggressive enough to track as exercise. The Fitbit does...
I can see for dedicated athlete, this is no biggie..simply turn Fitbit on. Im older, 56, and while I still cycle, lately been trying to move more, as Im an office worker. These walking metrics are important, at least in order to gage how successful monitoring such activity could be.
2. Battery life.
Again, annoying to charge every day. If the Apple watch could last two days, that would be great.
3. Fitbit app.
Much better, in terms of practical application, than watch app. For me. This is obviously subjective area.
4. Features.
Clearly Apple watch wins here..but after using, my impression is the watch screen is really to small to offer real convenience over phone. Two, being so tethered - do i need to know every text coming in, news flash? Im in tech, physicist, but now appreciating the solitude to standing away from these devices from time to time.
5. I have navigation in car, so the communication from phone to watch via vibration isn't necessary. I can see where this would be useful. But with CarPlay increasing in adaption, this feature would seem to be of diminishing returns.
6. Fashion.
Absolutely love the Apple Watch over the fitbit. But then, days of wearing a watch everyday are less compelling, so I don't miss this.
So color me surprised with Apple's gains, and Fitbit's decline.
Just one opinion.
