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
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).
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?
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.
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.
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.
@@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
I agonised over the two for months lol. I watched endless UA-cam 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.
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.
@@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.
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.

@@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.
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!
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 !
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
@@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.
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!
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 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!
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...
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.
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’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!!!!
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 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.😔
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
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’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
Worst customer care!!! Please spare yourselves and do not buy Fitbit Sense. If you send faulty Sense for replacement you will get a refurbished item as replacement and representatives will tire you out with canned answers. Most of the videos on Fitbit official, comments are turned off.
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
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
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 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!
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 :-)
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.
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 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.
I don’t see the need for an Apple Watch. I’m already chained to the hip with my iPhone. I like that fit bit even gives you recipes and so on in the premium setup. I LOVE the idea of more detailed sleep analysis. I mean, I pretty much already know how LONG I was asleep - I need to evaluate the addt’l data a Fitbit would provide.
When the first Apple Watch released, haters were bashing on it with all kind of comments. Well couple of years later it has proven that the Apple Watch is the best selling smartwatch and also the best smartwatch ever. Samsung, Huawei, Moto, and others tried to do the same thing but they all failed to beat Apple. The only exception is the Apple watch is only good for iPhone users, android users won't take advantage of it. Also, the price of the Apple watch is also higher than most smart watches out there.
You get what you pay for my friend, I first tried a cheap $50 keep fit watch by some Chineese manufacturer (never again) can't afford cheap!, then I splashed out on series 3 which scuffed and scratched easily, then a stainless steel series 4 (not a scratch or scuff in 2 years) never looked back since Cellular for $5 a month is a god send and all my playlists are stored directly on it 32gb available I believe....battery is an easy day and a half, and the only reason I'll upgrade is if they come out with a camera for face time....until 4 years ago I was very anti apple, believed in all that freedom and openness, until I realised it was all hype and got an iPhone 7, still got it, however like the idea of night photos & videos, so waiting for my iPhone 12 Pro to arrive and I still sold the 7 for $150 😁. Apple & Android is like Night and day!
@@jackdominiak445 at the end of the day it's all up to you, don't listen to media tell you this and that. Apple know how to optimize their products from airpods to apple watcb, iPhone to iPad. They control their own OS, that's why most android user will never get the experiece of that. I'm upgrading to the pro max, still have to wait until the 6th of November but well it's worth it. People always have doubt and judgement against Apple when it comes to price and what it can offer. If it's aint break and why fix it right? That's why the iPad, iPhone, Apple watch, and airpods are the best selling products in their own categories.
@@LuanNguyen-np5ii You're absolutely spot on! Must admit was a little upset about the better camera's in the Max, even thought about waiting for the 13 pro, the MAX is just simply too big for me, even the Pro is bigger than I would like, in an ideal world I would like a mini to have the Max camera set up, but I'm a realist and know that is unlikely to happen, because of the lack of space. Ultimately I'm not a Pro photographer, so even the Pro has more than I need, I went for the Pro because it looks the business and this year is much better value for money than the 12. Enjoy you Max when you get it....
@@Chooibah Rubbish, my partners son has still got Apple Watch 2 and it works great, obviously not as good as 3,4, 5 & 6, just like the iPhone's 6 to 11 aren't as good as the 12.....doesn't mean they were rubbish, I've still got my 7 and only upgraded to a 12 Pro because I like night photo's, but the iPhone 7 still works great and someone is paying me $150 for it, when I get my 12 Pro in 10 days 😁 Apple all round is just streets ahead!
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?
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
Battery life, which is more important than how good OS flows on a watch for many people. And you can't make an Apple Watch work with Android phones which is another turnoff.
I know who thought not storing music on the device was a good idea, people buying it for fitness tracking. I have a Sense and I prefer it not store music because that storage will take up space that is very limited. And your video confirms getting the Sense was a better option, my main feature was sleep tracking and I agree it is much better on Fitbit. Apple focuses on music as they can leverage their related services to make users potentially spend more. Especially since I got it $100 less due to pricing error at the store. Thank you for the info, there was a few features I was not aware of!
Thanks for WATCH-ing (sorry, couldn't help it). Let me know which one you prefer and any questions in the comments below!
Of course the watch lol
Apple Watch Series 5 not 6....
If someone point a gun at you and tell you to pick one of these watches, which one would you pick? 🤔

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
Fitbit would sell well if only they revamp their OS!

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.
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!
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 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.
👌👌👌👍👍✌️✌️❤️well put
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!
Can you call and receive calls on wrist with fitbit sense - speaking through the fitbit sense as with samsung galaxy 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...
Can I leave my phone at home and just use the watch? Will I still get notifications???? Does it have a sim card slot????
@@dnegel9546 only the Apple Watch has cell service available
@@coopercrockett1636 what... That seriously sucks.. what's the point of those watches.
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.
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
2:45 damn, where did you get the quick wardrobe change app from?
Can anyone tell me what you can’t use on the Fitbit versa 3 if you don’t have premium
I've never had a smart watch. Can you browse web on these things?? No right?
????????? 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.
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?
Hi I thought about buying an Apple Watch with some money I’ve been saving but now that I look at it Fitbit is the one I bought and it had phone calls
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
Where did you get the dino Watch Face For the applewatch?
so fitbit will not show me blood oxygen saturation on demand per day?
Is it safe to say that those Fitbit Sense issues with lagging and slowness will be fixed by Fibit at some point?
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.😔
May I ask, are you using the 40mm or 44mm Apple Watch in this video comparison? Much, Mahalo.
40mm!
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
Lexy, is a Sense 2 review coming up? thanks
How’s the heart rate on the sense. Seen so many things online about it being very inaccurate
Do you think these watches would also work if worn on the under side of the arm rather than the top side? Thanks.
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??
How’s the hr on the sense? Is it still very inaccurate?
What is the clock face you have on the sense on the picture of the video
How to to edit my Apple Watch if the calories of the fitness is wrong how do I make correction
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
What is that clock face on fitbit in the intro? Anyone know
It’s called Sector
@@LexySavvides thanks
Worst customer care!!! Please spare yourselves and do not buy Fitbit Sense. If you send faulty Sense for replacement you will get a refurbished item as replacement and representatives will tire you out with canned answers. Most of the videos on Fitbit official, comments are turned off.
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 getting my Fitbit Sense, on Thursday!! So excited!!!
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
What size Apple Watch is this?
Can you do a Apple Watch se vs versa 3
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 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!
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 :-)
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.
Can you do the Apple Watch SE vs The FitBit?
How do you have the old instagram icon still on your phone?
Android: Fitbit
iOS: Apple Watch
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 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.
Very. Informative comparison. Speaker is excellent. Not to fast.
Nice review for Apple Watch 6 and fitbit Lexy !!!
They tied I have a versa 3 Fitbit though but after it stops working I will get a apple watch series 6 or newer
0:32 What is that shot?
My FB Sense lasts 3 with with Always on display and everyday notifications and 30 min cardio
Yeah but does it play Pokémon?
The lack of storage is a bummer with Sense
Honestly, what makes it so hard for Apple to develop a proper sleep tracker that automatically tracks your sleep just like fitbit
I think the fitbit versa 4 or the next version of the sense should offer an LTE model. They're falling behind on that one
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 don’t see the need for an Apple Watch. I’m already chained to the hip with my iPhone. I like that fit bit even gives you recipes and so on in the premium setup. I LOVE the idea of more detailed sleep analysis. I mean, I pretty much already know how LONG I was asleep - I need to evaluate the addt’l data a Fitbit would provide.
When the first Apple Watch released, haters were bashing on it with all kind of comments. Well couple of years later it has proven that the Apple Watch is the best selling smartwatch and also the best smartwatch ever. Samsung, Huawei, Moto, and others tried to do the same thing but they all failed to beat Apple. The only exception is the Apple watch is only good for iPhone users, android users won't take advantage of it. Also, the price of the Apple watch is also higher than most smart watches out there.
You get what you pay for my friend, I first tried a cheap $50 keep fit watch by some Chineese manufacturer (never again) can't afford cheap!, then I splashed out on series 3 which scuffed and scratched easily, then a stainless steel series 4 (not a scratch or scuff in 2 years) never looked back since Cellular for $5 a month is a god send and all my playlists are stored directly on it 32gb available I believe....battery is an easy day and a half, and the only reason I'll upgrade is if they come out with a camera for face time....until 4 years ago I was very anti apple, believed in all that freedom and openness, until I realised it was all hype and got an iPhone 7, still got it, however like the idea of night photos & videos, so waiting for my iPhone 12 Pro to arrive and I still sold the 7 for $150 😁. Apple & Android is like Night and day!
@@jackdominiak445 at the end of the day it's all up to you, don't listen to media tell you this and that. Apple know how to optimize their products from airpods to apple watcb, iPhone to iPad. They control their own OS, that's why most android user will never get the experiece of that. I'm upgrading to the pro max, still have to wait until the 6th of November but well it's worth it. People always have doubt and judgement against Apple when it comes to price and what it can offer. If it's aint break and why fix it right? That's why the iPad, iPhone, Apple watch, and airpods are the best selling products in their own categories.
@@LuanNguyen-np5ii You're absolutely spot on! Must admit was a little upset about the better camera's in the Max, even thought about waiting for the 13 pro, the MAX is just simply too big for me, even the Pro is bigger than I would like, in an ideal world I would like a mini to have the Max camera set up, but I'm a realist and know that is unlikely to happen, because of the lack of space. Ultimately I'm not a Pro photographer, so even the Pro has more than I need, I went for the Pro because it looks the business and this year is much better value for money than the 12. Enjoy you Max when you get it....
The early apple watches were terrible and overpriced though, that's why they were disliked. The last couple have been really good.
@@Chooibah Rubbish, my partners son has still got Apple Watch 2 and it works great, obviously not as good as 3,4, 5 & 6, just like the iPhone's 6 to 11 aren't as good as the 12.....doesn't mean they were rubbish, I've still got my 7 and only upgraded to a 12 Pro because I like night photo's, but the iPhone 7 still works great and someone is paying me $150 for it, when I get my 12 Pro in 10 days 😁 Apple all round is just streets ahead!
Is there a way to track steps during a walk/run on the AW6, and not just daily steps?
Sorry, new to the AW world. Thank you!
steps app
@@snakesofwisdom thank you!
Lexi to the review again. This gonna be amazing..!!!!
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
Aside from taking off the watch to charge which watch can I wear in the shower and swimming?
Getting stressed while taking a stress test is pointless 😂
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
I would go for the aw because I telly love the ecosystem and it does have the blood oxegyn sensor
At 2:11 how you still have the old version of Instagram App?
On iOS there's an easter egg in the Instagram app that lets you change the app icon.
Iv never had a Apple Watch only Fitbit looking into the apple 6 thank u
Do both watches have weightlifting as workout option
Yes. Lmao. Why not.
I bought the Apple Watch and it’s really good and doing fantastic
Apple made a smartwatch with customization and called it 'complications'. That's funny AF.
on certain products apple is so far ahead it’s embarrassing, and I do like fitbit.
How that can be fair? 😂
Battery life, which is more important than how good OS flows on a watch for many people. And you can't make an Apple Watch work with Android phones which is another turnoff.
@@robcarhood they work just a little slow
There isnt a smartwatch out there that can beat apple period I used samsung Fitbit and apple and the most accurate is apple
I know who thought not storing music on the device was a good idea, people buying it for fitness tracking. I have a Sense and I prefer it not store music because that storage will take up space that is very limited. And your video confirms getting the Sense was a better option, my main feature was sleep tracking and I agree it is much better on Fitbit. Apple focuses on music as they can leverage their related services to make users potentially spend more. Especially since I got it $100 less due to pricing error at the store. Thank you for the info, there was a few features I was not aware of!
Can you provide links for those straps?
What's the name of Fitbit watch face in the thumbnail? Thanks
Sector
@@LexySavvides thanks so much for replying!
To go cellular or not?
