Just adding to this, Fitbit was bought out by Google recently and they’ve started turning a lot of Fitbit features into a premium charging service. Personally, I find the health features of the Apple Watch enough for me! Donna mentioned the Fitbit itself doesn’t have any accessibility last time I knew. The app was fine. However, just being able to do things on my device itself is so rewarding. For example being able to start a workout right from the watches interface is so nice. Most of the time when I go for a walk or do a work out I don’t even have my phone nearby!
Also, don’t forget the whole ecosystem. Yes you may not want to do phone calls or messages, but for example, using Siri to play music during a workout, or even just having Siri capability, is sometimes rewarding and itself.
