If you're charging your Applevwatch every night, that's a pain especially when you want the sleep tracking..Yeah, hopefully you can get it charged before bed, but what a pain. Fitbit all the way.

Fitbit is cheaper, but also has great functionality. All necessary options are there. Besides, as now a lot of people buy new S10 and Note 10 models, Fitbit is a great choice for them. I think, if you have Samsung phone, you need to buy all Samsung accessorizes, if you have iPhone, you need to buy Apple Watch, earbuds and so on.

I found the opposite actually. I have compared the HR on a Apple watch along with a medical device strapped on my chest, a mobile ECG device, while on a treadmill, at a physiotherapy centre at a hospital. And it is pretty accurate. I also compared it with the HR shown on my BP monitor, Oxymeter and even many highend treadmill HR hand sensors, it is pretty accurate as far as the HR is concerned most of the times. Although when you open the HR checking app on it, it might show a low HR for a few seconds and then immediately jump to the correct HR. Don’t know why it happens but I’ve noticed it happens on most HR sensors. It happens on my treadmill and also on my Apple Watch sometimes. And I have a pretty old model of the Apple watch. I haven’t tried the fitbit yet. Thought about buying it as it can be easily worn along with a mechanical watch too as it’s like a band but am a little skeptical about the fitbit’s accuracy. Had seen some video on YouTube about a comparison and the reviewer said the same. Wish apple came out with a band like device which is more discreet

I use Fitbit charge 3 . Heart rate tracking I don’t think is accurate at all. I walk up a hill and it says 115. I count manually ( pulse count for 15 secs x 4 and it’s mid 140’s. )
Also my steps counter just vanished today. 6 thousand steps didn’t sync at all with app.
Looking at other products as this the heart rate tracking is a continual problem

I was considering an Apple Watch, but my phone battery is so poor, I couldn’t except it to last through the day whilst Bluetooth connected to a watch

I have now Apple Watch 5 .. in addition to Oura and Fitbit for sleep

Why not use a chest heart rate monitor to accurately track heart rate to compare accurate data?
