If you aren't doing anything urgent soon and want to take a nap without the stress of worrying when you fall asleep, and don't want to accidentally over sleep or worrying so much when you will pass out that you can't fall asleep, I think it would be an awesome feature for a watch to track when you fall asleep and set a time to wake you up in a designated time you want for a nap. For example a power nap at 15 to 20 minutes. It starts the timer when you fall asleep and then wakes you up after a certain amount of sleep when you nap. There are many types of naps so this would be beneficial for many set times.
@@raghavkonda6175 yes something thats automatic. I have set timers with the intention of taking a 20 minute nap but then it takes me 10 mins to actually fall asleep.
I have been an Apple Watch user and I must say that I am loving my Fitbit Sense because of the battery life, health data, and its premium design. Fitbit Sense is a health tracker and really motivates you to achieve your health and wellness goals
@@kidpoker9408 not even 24 hours, 18 if you don’t use it at all and if you do it’s even less I use it as an alarm but that alone takes a good chunk of the battery
Just bought the sense and I love it. I haven’t had any problems with the side button as yet. I’m a fitness fanatic and have high blood pressure so I went with Fitbit because it has more detailed readings. I do however prefer the shape of the Apple Watch and have small wrists so hope they will both come out with an even smaller versions in the future.
I have the old Fitbit Hr. I loved that it automatically track my sleep. It knew when I fell asleep and how long I slept for. Also I loved how I can track a workout. Especially my steps. I’d press start and it would start tracking. The Apple Watch only counts total steps of the day. Not per workout. Annoying.
In a nutshell, the Apple Watch is a smart watch that has a fitness component whereas the Fitbit is a fitness tracker that has a smart watch component. The biggest thing that is always left out from comparisons of the Apple Watch with all the others is that one can send the watch in to have the battery replaced whereas, in this case, one cannot do the same for any Fitbit watches. So, when the battery of any Fitbit Watch dies, one has to throw the watch away and buy new... I did enjoy the comparison. Thanks for doing it.
I got the versa when it first launched in may 2018 and the battery life is still as good as when I bought it. So I don’t know if that’s much of an issue with the Fitbit
@@mary11567 that’s awesome. I had mine for just under 2 years and I am a 4-5 workout/week person who always track them with my Ionic. It’s the 3rd Fitbit watch (1st was a Charge and my second was a Blaze) and my 4th fitness tracking watch. Couldn’t change the batteries in any of them so when the battery died, the watch was useless... that was my point. The fact that you are getting a long life out of it is great but at some point, the battery will die and you’ll have to throw the watch away.
@@bretonpeters9768 I bought my Fitbit Charge 2 in 2016. I'm very active, lots of singles tennis, biking hiking , walking, work full time, etc..I wear it day and night. Of course I had to replace the band several times. But within the last 3 wks, the upper half of the screen has slowly become garbled and failing but the battery has been fine. This Fitbit Charge 2 has served me well and was worked hard but with a failing screen, I must replace it. Which brought me here to see comparisons and get feedback. I'm in a quandary between Fitbit and Apple because of the not so good battery life of the Apple Watch but still not ruling it out:). Nearly 5 yrs with my Charge 2...I feel that I got my money's worth:). Maybe I was lucky?
@@garebearoc lmao nope . Stating such a thing is not stating an opinion , he is saying it is a FACT that sense’s health data is superior when it is CLEARLY NOT . Thus I corrected him
This is truly a category where you could go either way, if you are not too deep into Apple land then the Fitbit gives you overall better stats but not much other features, while the Apple Watch will let you get the most out of the rest of your Apple services and stuff like unlocking your computer.
I agonised over the two for months lol. I watched endless RUclips reviews and comparisons, and read hundreds of online reviews. I’ve owned Fitbit’s for four years, but love Apple products. I needed a new watch, and wondered if it was time to move to Apple Watch. I finally chose Fitbit Sense after very careful consideration. I’ve had it for 4 days now, and absolutely loving it so far.
I'm in the exact same boat! I'm on this video trying to decide which way to go as well. May I ask if you have had any issues with the sense syncing to the app, or with how it tracks your steps/heart rate compared to your previous fitbit?
Fitbits are soooooo laggy though. Fitbits are activity watches with some smart watch capabilities while Apple Watches are smart devices with activity capabilities. Not sure why you picked the Fitbit over the 4 series, 5 series, SE, or 6 series but to each their own. Just want to make it clear to people in this thread that if you want more from a smart watch you should go with an Apple Watch.
Working on the cardiac ward, one of my patients used their Apple watch ECG and compared it with our equipment results and it was extremely accurate. They ended up being diagnosed with Brugada syndrome so having the ECG technology was literally going to be a life saver for them. I'm a fitbit lass myself but very tempted to get the apple, mainly because it comes with a fob strap that will be invaluable at work whereas that the fitbit doesn't 😭😭😭
@@adrielhernandez6005 nope, I don't know anything about these watches except that the Apple watch ECG reading was really accurate and not far off from the ECG machine we use on the ward.
Call me crazy, but I wear both the Apple watch 6 and the Fitbit Charge 4 for the very reasons you stated. Fitbit for sleep info and Apple watch for most other things.
I have been a Ionic user since it came, and Fitbit be damn, for abandoning its flagship as they did with that unit. It's a nightmare to sync, and it's as if it became obsolete the moment it left the production line. I will leave them for an Apple watch, after I briefly tested Samsung Galaxy watch as well.
The short battery life on apple watch is more unforgivable. It’s useless when battery dies in the middle of the day no matter how good it is (I own both fitbit and apple watch).
My suggestion: If you already have a one of the older Fitbit Versas or Ionic, keep it. Wait until all the features are activated before you buy the Sense or Versa 3.
I have a Fitbit Sense and the face came off in August 2021, 10 months later the replacement did the same thing. I never get it wet, I do sleep with it on for sleep tracking and such. Fitbit said they will give me 35% off on a third watch, will not replace it. I have owned many watches from this company but I will never own another one again!! Starting my search for a new fitness tracker!
@@arekusukun2559 Much faster S6 processor. Brighter Always on display. But yeah not huge upgrades but if he’s never had had an Apple Watch then that’s a great start for him.
If the apple watch could compete with battery life I'd absolutely switch. I have an iPhone and iPad and love them but I sleep tracking is important to me and I can't deal with having to charge it every 12 hours.
I was seriously considering the Sense even though I have an iPhone. I love my Fitbit Alta but but now it won’t hold a sync with my phone. I don’t have time to keep installing, uninstalling to get it to work again. For this reason I don’t want to put a lot of money into their watch. They’re not known for customer support.😔
The Apple Watch is a notifications watch that does fitness on the side. I’ve worn one for the last couple of years and I love it. Especially while working in the office. But I just started on a new fitness journey and I don’t need the notifications as much because I work at home due to the pandemic so I picked up the Sense for $200 on Black Friday. If you want fitness specs and data that motivates you to hit your goals the Sense wins hands down.
Thank you for this very informative video! I will go with the fitbit Sense, as the way it is more detailed for sleep and exercise is exactly what I am looking for.
I really don't want to charge my watch every night, so I got the fitbit sense! It is really cool, BUT for heart rate tracking during high intensity workout the sensors kinda suck on sweaty skin... which is a downside given the fact it is a fitness watch... it shows a heartrate of 160 - 170 bpm as heartrate of 120 bpm. Not good! I hope fitbit is working on this problem!
Hello can somebody please answer me a very important question??? So I have watched the video and after careful consideration I have one last question before I decide if I should buy the Apple Watch or the Fitbit sense. The question is: If two witches watch two watches, which witch would watch which watch??
I have always had the Fitbit with the fitness pal app and always enjoyed. Looking at the iwatch 6 and I really feel that the Fitbit sense has more to offer me but the downside is definitely the music...
I switched from Fitbit after using them from the beginning. Two reasons, I am older now and wanted fall detection and the ability for the watch to call for help. I live in an icy climate in the winter. Also, Google bought Fitbit and I am concerned about privacy, not that I am doing anything that couldn’t be exposed. Once that I found out that Facebook was tracking me to my financial site I freaked about privacy!
This is probably the most helpful review of the series 6 yet... everyone compares the previous I watch with the latest or with SE. putting both premier smart watches on the same platform and reviewing them side by side is what’s actually needed ! Kudos to a job well done !
My Fitbit died so being I’m an iPhone user, my wife got me the Mack daddy Apple Watch. I love many of the features, but missed many thing about my Fitbit. So I recently received the Fitbit sense for my birthday. Owning and using both, I prefer the Fitbit sense overall. I did find the constant need to charge the Apple Watch super annoying which was one of my biggest complains about it. Apple Watch was dead On my wrist 1/2 the time
Been waiting for a good review between these two smart devices. Thank you! By the way, that transition from Zoom meeting to workout clothes was hilarious. 😂
the Fitbit ionic monitored sleep SpO2 & sleep patterns, but one has to be a sleep for 3 hours. Does the Sense device require a minimum time range to capture the same data? i am senior man & all men have prostate issues, causing numerous trips to the bathroom over night. Even with medication to address the issue, i may go the trip to bathroom every 2 hours.
I have a Fitbit myself and whenever I wake up and do something, it essentially cancels my sleep and it won’t count it. It will only count when I fall asleep the second time
I have apple watch series 6, and have the oxygen app working all day and night, watch face = info, oxygen top right, with the breath app in the middle to keep the oxygen app working. Hope it works for you
I had Vitbit Versa Basic for 4 years but it‘s going to be out of service soon! I mean Battery life reduces constantly without use . I decided to buy a new Smartwatch and i couldn’t choose Fitbit or Applewatch! So! After this video i think Fitbit is better for me . I must say, i’m super satisfied with my Fitbit in these 4 years . I would like to have a smartwatch that i can receive Calls and answer on my watch, but it’s not necessary! So i will buy Fitbit again. Thank you very much for the Review. It helped a lot!
I’m using Fitbit more than 7 years now and every year I had to change them as they die all the time!! I’ve decided to try Apple Watch now! I hope they are not the same!!!!
Great review. The differences and similarities are explained perfectly. Good to have two products which are not exactly same and each has its own unique features. I have been a Fitbit user since the first one came but have always been curious of Apple watch too. There are many cool features in Apple watch too. I currently own a Versa 2 and the battery life is superb. Hope apple improves the battery life but with the minute improvements they make with every iteration, I hope they don't take too long to match battery life of a Fitbit.
Considering you use Versa 2, is it worth buying Versa 3. Every review I see, feel negatives out-way the positives + many features are hidden due to premium membership thing.
The apple watch is miles better lol, btw I found a really good budget smartwatch at watchplaystore, just google them, dual core cpu and a really good screen plus it's on budget :D
I’m 23 and was diagnosed with Class (Stage) 1 heart failure in March 2019. Last month, I learned that the right side of my heart has enlarged. I purchased the Apple Watch Series 6 for this reason, to keep track of my heart. I thought that the Apple Watch wasn’t going to be as accurate as what my cardiologists did. Should I start using the Series 6 again and am I overreacting? I’d love to know if anyone else here was in similar situations like me.
I think with your special circumstances, you might need a more precise medical monitor than an Apple watch. Apple themselves warn people that the Apple watch cannot replace a real medical monitor. I hope you will have a speedy recovery soon 🙏
It’s plenty accurate enough for longitudinal data, which could be enough to save your life. The Apple Watch also has the SOS feature that will call an ambulance to your location if you fall and/or have an unusual pulse. If your doctors are recommending it, they’re probably doing so from experience. Good luck on your journey back to good health.
Oh my god. Take care man. That is really young to have heart issues. I heard a lot great things about Apple Watch s6 optical heart rate that it is crazy accurate for intense HIIT workout which a lot could not keep up with including fitness watches. However that is not really your use case so I think it is best to look for real medical equipments too.
i have heartfailure disease after an heart attack, i have an ICD in board my body for in-case-of scenarios , but am wearing an ASUS ZenWatch for keeping track almost 24/7 ( i use 2 of them for bridging charging batteries times ) of my Cardiograms, Blood Pressure samples [mgH/, Oxygen-in-Blood [%], HeartBeatRate per minute [HB/m] with PulseMeter
I absolutely love my blue apple watch series 6 it has 32gb if storage and it works flawlessly with my iphone 12 pro max I have Tons of music on my watch alone it's the best
We both rock this boat I upgraded from Samsung to iPhone 12 Pro Max and got a series 6 last week I am only concerned about the battery life that’s why I’m here reading reviews
@@3Peter3 All that's going to change is google is going to integrate their services into the existing platform, and use that collect more data. Innovation or creating a better product isn't google's mo anymore.
@@kristfur Yeah I can see them creating the Android watch OS/fit-bit integration. google has become very scary collecting data, will probably stop using their products.
was really wanting to buy the fit bit for sleep tracking. but not if its locked behind a pay wall what alternative are there for a good sleep tracking watch?
The FitBit may provide a lot more sleep data, but I'm not sure how high-quality it is. For example, it regularly records my Dad as being deeply asleep when he's actually watching TV, and as being awake when my Mum can confirm he's actually asleep. The issues aren't as egregious for me, but I still don't trust the data, and feel Apple are being more honest about what can reliably be measured.
Hi Lexy, I had considered the Fitbit in the past but I finally decided on the Apple Watch. It will be here (Anaheim) by Friday. I appreciate your review, the comparisons, and the feature descriptions. Good video, thanks :-)
Question specific to these two smart watches, which one is best for apps specific to golf app. Looking for golf course layout, yardage to the pin and score tracking?
I got a Sense last week only because I I could get it using Flybuy points and it cost me next to nothing. It is a big step up over the ionic which I had previously. Build quality is also a big improvement as my previous 4 fitbits fell apart over a relatively short timeframe. I was considering the series 6 as I use IOS exclusively. I may try one next time depending on how long the Sense lasts. I don’t so far see much value in the paid subscription but will use it for the free 6 month period. Cheers.
how long the previous fitbit's feel apart? 2 years? on average how much did you pay for fitness tracker or smart watch? I am looking for a replacement for fitbit charge 3 fitness as that one failed and now with the update I cannot see the screen outdoors
Apple Watch is just expensive and you gotta pay a monthly fee for cellular service on the Apple Watch. I’ve had Fitbits before and I can honestly say that I’ll be purchasing the Fitbit Sense 2
1 day battery life is a deal breaker on the Apple Watch. It means you'll put it on charge before bed probably, so it won't monitor sleep... The Fitbit OS could do with enhancement though. Ideally with full Android function like Apple Watch does with iPhone
I dumped my Apple watch after I switched from Sense to Apple. The Sense is the best exercise and fitness watch. The Apple has all the stuff my Iphone has. In order to get the best battery life on the Apple I had to turn off a lot of the features including using black and white. By then I said why have an Apple I can't fully use.
Exactly. I ditched my Watch SE for a Fitbit charge 6 for the same reasons as yours. I never liked how the smart watches kinda tried to be an iPhone replacement and the I never loved the short battery life
This is really helpful. Not sure which one I prefer yet. I like the sleep info on the Fitbit, but then I also like what Apple does... hmmm. I'll have to think...
Another influence has to be how Fitbit wouldn't acknowledge glass crack issues. I had 2. One they replaced, the other they refused but I hadn't worn the watch! Won't touch them now.
Great video! I feel Fitbit does a much better job of displaying your data in neat graphs, but I prefer a more accurate heart rate reading from the Apple Watch.
which one has more accurate heart tate sensor ? And can u transfer music to fit bit sense? I like applwatch more but dun like its compatibility to iPhone only
Thanks for WATCH-ing (sorry, couldn't help it). Let me know which one you prefer and any questions in the comments below!

Been waiting for a good review between these two smart devices. Thank you! By the way, that transition from Zoom meeting to workout clothes was hilarious. 😂
What size Apple Watch is this?
the Fitbit ionic monitored sleep SpO2 & sleep patterns, but one has to be a sleep for 3 hours. Does the Sense device require a minimum time range to capture the same data? i am senior man & all men have prostate issues, causing numerous trips to the bathroom over night. Even with medication to address the issue, i may go the trip to bathroom every 2 hours.
Have you bought a Fitbit yet
I have a Fitbit myself and whenever I wake up and do something, it essentially cancels my sleep and it won’t count it. It will only count when I fall asleep the second time
Lexy, is a Sense 2 review coming up? thanks
I have apple watch series 6, and have the oxygen app working all day and night, watch face = info, oxygen top right, with the breath app in the middle to keep the oxygen app working. Hope it works for you
Do you think these watches would also work if worn on the under side of the arm rather than the top side? Thanks.
I had Vitbit Versa Basic for 4 years but it‘s going to be out of service soon! I mean Battery life reduces constantly without use . I decided to buy a new Smartwatch and i couldn’t choose Fitbit or Applewatch! So! After this video i think Fitbit is better for me . I must say, i’m super satisfied with my Fitbit in these 4 years . I would like to have a smartwatch that i can receive Calls and answer on my watch, but it’s not necessary! So i will buy Fitbit again. Thank you very much for the Review. It helped a lot!
I’m using Fitbit more than 7 years now and every year I had to change them as they die all the time!! I’ve decided to try Apple Watch now! I hope they are not the same!!!!
Fitbits only last for 1 year?
Great review. The differences and similarities are explained perfectly. Good to have two products which are not exactly same and each has its own unique features. I have been a Fitbit user since the first one came but have always been curious of Apple watch too. There are many cool features in Apple watch too. I currently own a Versa 2 and the battery life is superb. Hope apple improves the battery life but with the minute improvements they make with every iteration, I hope they don't take too long to match battery life of a Fitbit.
Considering you use Versa 2, is it worth buying Versa 3. Every review I see, feel negatives out-way the positives + many features are hidden due to premium membership thing.
The apple watch is miles better lol, btw I found a really good budget smartwatch at watchplaystore, just google them, dual core cpu and a really good screen plus it's on budget :D
How’s the heart rate on the sense. Seen so many things online about it being very inaccurate
I’m 23 and was diagnosed with Class (Stage) 1 heart failure in March 2019. Last month, I learned that the right side of my heart has enlarged. I purchased the Apple Watch Series 6 for this reason, to keep track of my heart. I thought that the Apple Watch wasn’t going to be as accurate as what my cardiologists did. Should I start using the Series 6 again and am I overreacting? I’d love to know if anyone else here was in similar situations like me.
I think with your special circumstances, you might need a more precise medical monitor than an Apple watch. Apple themselves warn people that the Apple watch cannot replace a real medical monitor. I hope you will have a speedy recovery soon 🙏
It’s plenty accurate enough for longitudinal data, which could be enough to save your life. The Apple Watch also has the SOS feature that will call an ambulance to your location if you fall and/or have an unusual pulse. If your doctors are recommending it, they’re probably doing so from experience. Good luck on your journey back to good health.
Oh my god. Take care man. That is really young to have heart issues.
I heard a lot great things about Apple Watch s6 optical heart rate that it is crazy accurate for intense HIIT workout which a lot could not keep up with including fitness watches. However that is not really your use case so I think it is best to look for real medical equipments too.
Bruh dont rely on just a watch
i have heartfailure disease after an heart attack, i have an ICD in board my body for in-case-of scenarios , but am wearing an ASUS ZenWatch for keeping track almost 24/7 ( i use 2 of them for bridging charging batteries times ) of my Cardiograms, Blood Pressure samples [mgH/, Oxygen-in-Blood [%], HeartBeatRate per minute [HB/m] with PulseMeter
I've never had a smart watch. Can you browse web on these things?? No right?
I absolutely love my blue apple watch series 6 it has 32gb if storage and it works flawlessly with my iphone 12 pro max I have Tons of music on my watch alone it's the best
We both rock this boat I upgraded from Samsung to iPhone 12 Pro Max and got a series 6 last week I am only concerned about the battery life that’s why I’m here reading reviews
I bought the Apple Watch and it’s really good and doing fantastic
Fitbit would sell well if only they revamp their OS!
Ikr
Years ago Fitbit bought Pebble, who's OS & UI was far superior. Fitbit threw it all away, and did nothing with it.
google bought them we might see either a google watch or a beefed up Fitbit.
@@3Peter3 All that's going to change is google is going to integrate their services into the existing platform, and use that collect more data. Innovation or creating a better product isn't google's mo anymore.
@@kristfur Yeah I can see them creating the Android watch OS/fit-bit integration. google has become very scary collecting data, will probably stop using their products.
How’s the hr on the sense? Is it still very inaccurate?
To go cellular or not?
so fitbit will not show me blood oxygen saturation on demand per day?
was really wanting to buy the fit bit for sleep tracking. but not if its locked behind a pay wall
what alternative are there for a good sleep tracking watch?
Sleep tracking does not require Fitbit premium
They tied I have a versa 3 Fitbit though but after it stops working I will get a apple watch series 6 or newer
I’m getting my Fitbit Sense, on Thursday!! So excited!!!
????????? You pay for the watch and still have to pay a 10$ premium a MONTH to properly use it?
That's actually insane.
It's not insane, it just makes no sens... Ooooooohh !!!
You have to pay the cellular carrier not Apple.
@@toby2636 I was talking about the Fitbit “pro“ Service.
Fitbit works perfectly fine without the premium account. So no you don’t need it to properly use the watch.
@@Espere I think you know you can still use the watch with out the premium service.
Does it feel comfortable wearing the fitbit sense,? Because it looks bulky
Android: Fitbit
iOS: Apple Watch
2:42 Make sure the exercise autodetect is turned off.
The FitBit may provide a lot more sleep data, but I'm not sure how high-quality it is. For example, it regularly records my Dad as being deeply asleep when he's actually watching TV, and as being awake when my Mum can confirm he's actually asleep. The issues aren't as egregious for me, but I still don't trust the data, and feel Apple are being more honest about what can reliably be measured.
If someone point a gun at you and tell you to pick one of these watches, which one would you pick? 🤔
Apple Watch by a country mile. No gun needed.
Excellent report, thank you! Fitbit wins IMHO
Hi Lexy, I had considered the Fitbit in the past but I finally decided on the Apple Watch. It will be here (Anaheim) by Friday. I appreciate your review, the comparisons, and the feature descriptions. Good video, thanks :-)
Very. Informative comparison. Speaker is excellent. Not to fast.
Question specific to these two smart watches, which one is best for apps specific to golf app. Looking for golf course layout, yardage to the pin and score tracking?
Can you call and receive calls on wrist with fitbit sense - speaking through the fitbit sense as with samsung galaxy watch?
Are you wearing the 40 or 44 mm
I got a Sense last week only because I I could get it using Flybuy points and it cost me next to nothing. It is a big step up over the ionic which I had previously. Build quality is also a big improvement as my previous 4 fitbits fell apart over a relatively short timeframe. I was considering the series 6 as I use IOS exclusively. I may try one next time depending on how long the Sense lasts. I don’t so far see much value in the paid subscription but will use it for the free 6 month period. Cheers.
how long the previous fitbit's feel apart? 2 years? on average how much did you pay for fitness tracker or smart watch? I am looking for a replacement for fitbit charge 3 fitness as that one failed and now with the update I cannot see the screen outdoors
I have both
Apple Watch is just expensive and you gotta pay a monthly fee for cellular service on the Apple Watch. I’ve had Fitbits before and I can honestly say that I’ll be purchasing the Fitbit Sense 2
1 day battery life is a deal breaker on the Apple Watch. It means you'll put it on charge before bed probably, so it won't monitor sleep... The Fitbit OS could do with enhancement though. Ideally with full Android function like Apple Watch does with iPhone
Lexi to the review again. This gonna be amazing..!!!!
I dumped my Apple watch after I switched from Sense to Apple. The Sense is the best exercise and fitness watch. The Apple has all the stuff my Iphone has. In order to get the best battery life on the Apple I had to turn off a lot of the features including using black and white. By then I said why have an Apple I can't fully use.
Exactly. I ditched my Watch SE for a Fitbit charge 6 for the same reasons as yours. I never liked how the smart watches kinda tried to be an iPhone replacement and the I never loved the short battery life
Can you do the Apple Watch SE vs The FitBit?
This is really helpful. Not sure which one I prefer yet. I like the sleep info on the Fitbit, but then I also like what Apple does... hmmm. I'll have to think...
Nice review for Apple Watch 6 and fitbit Lexy !!!
Getting stressed while taking a stress test is pointless 😂
Very good looking watch fitbit sense
Can anyone tell me what you can’t use on the Fitbit versa 3 if you don’t have premium
Another influence has to be how Fitbit wouldn't acknowledge glass crack issues. I had 2. One they replaced, the other they refused but I hadn't worn the watch! Won't touch them now.
I'm staying with fitbit regardless I have the versa 2 plan on getting the versa 3 just because
Can you check your stocks?
Aside from taking off the watch to charge which watch can I wear in the shower and swimming?
Great video! I feel Fitbit does a much better job of displaying your data in neat graphs, but I prefer a more accurate heart rate reading from the Apple Watch.
Where did you get the dino Watch Face For the applewatch?
which one has more accurate heart tate sensor ?
And can u transfer music to fit bit sense? I like applwatch more but dun like its compatibility to iPhone only
apple watch more accurate hr sensor and no u cannot transfer music to fitbit sense
I will keep watching thanks
all hail the fitbit sense... I love FITBIT!
Lag
trash watch can't even track heart rate properly
Nope
My FB Sense lasts 3 with with Always on display and everyday notifications and 30 min cardio
Yeah but does it play Pokémon?
I would go for the aw because I telly love the ecosystem and it does have the blood oxegyn sensor
Apple made a smartwatch with customization and called it 'complications'. That's funny AF.
I honestly think that the Watch is a lot better even though it only works with the iPhone. You can do a lot with them
I prefer Fitbit Sense. Thanks a lot for your great review, Lexy!
May I ask why?
@@nylotical Battery life.
Great review as always!! Love your videos!
Iv never had a Apple Watch only Fitbit looking into the apple 6 thank u
How do you have the old instagram icon still on your phone?
My sense!! I love it!! Thanks for the input it was helpful!!
How to to edit my Apple Watch if the calories of the fitness is wrong how do I make correction
Get a Samsung active 2 if you are thinking about getting the Sense.
