Fitbit vs. Apple Watch?

i considering getting fitbit measure gym workouts more accurately (and feel bad when have lazy/study day , realize walked 20 steps), realized 200 bucks more apple watch, has more functions , work better iphone. 1 more accurate @ measuring calories? can provide intel different features provide in day-to-day life? i've managed find online far comparisons of basic features battery life, don't care i'll charge them while sleep anyways.

sweat lot during workouts, won't ruin watch? (i know they're water resistant still). work weight-lifting , stuff, i'm extremely clumsy , fear i'd somehow manage break watch. far haven't dropped weights on feet/hands, it's been couple of months since started...

in advance!

 

i had fitbit until switched apple watch in 2015. fitness tracking perspective, there isn't difference. studies have shown apple watch among accurate in terms of measuring heart rate, shouldn't see big difference there between two. each company uses own formulas calculating how many calories burned or how many minutes of exercise you've completed. used , compared both while , none of numbers far apart. visualizations different between two. rings apple uses... closing rings still satisfying after 2.5 years. both give little challenges , badges achieving goals or levels of activity, think fitbit more creative it. fitbit has community if have encouragement or competition others, can use either fitbit or apple watch participate in other communities in similar way using third party apps. there differences sure, both fitness trackers (although many competitive athletes swear garmin watches fitness).

things differ in terms of other smartwatch features, , nothing else on market compare apple watch in regard (assuming iphone user). me best non-fitness reason own apple watch allows receive silent notifications on wrist using haptic feedback. fitbits receive notifications, can't interact them way can on apple watch. can reply texts apple watch, or answer phone call. can ask siri set reminder or timer. feels seamless extension of iphone, , handing off between 2 intuitive. apple watch lets customize things more when comes watch faces, complications, etc. , of course there endless options apple watch bands. swapping bands fast , easy.

apple watches tougher look. 2.5 year old sport still looks new, despite impacts thought absolutely break it. original water resistant enough handle sweat , showering, , same true series 1. apple watch 2 , 3 down 50 meters.

oh... , 1 more thing apple watch can don't think fitbit can: can ping iphone find when don't remember left it. can't tell how valuable feature has been.
