A question for ex fitbiters, what do you miss about Fitbit and do you regret moving on to Apple watch and leaving Fitbit behind?
Battery life. I miss only needing to charge once a week.
For everything else, I prefer my Apple Watch.
Nothing
I left Fitbit over a year ago and have found some excellent replacements for what it did at the time I left. At this point I’m still pretty damn happy with what I got.
HRV/Recovery: Athlytic
Sleep metrics: Pillow
Honorable Mention: Auto Sleep
I hate the fact I can’t use my Apple Watch to count my total calories burnt without going into the fitness app.
On my Fitbit it was on the main screen and reset at midnight.
To me an Apple Watch is more of a phone on my wrist than a fitness tool.
Only thing I miss is my years of stats with fitbit
I miss the web interface and the windows app.
Fitbit could show me my October total steps, as a great logging method. Or last week, etc. Apple only dies rolling totals.
I miss the web interface and the windows app.
For a little better AW experience check out Superset. Beta signups now and should be launching in a month or two https://www.supersethealth.com/?ref_id=EJ58S0ZTV
So they want you to pay another subscription, garmin does all of that for free 🤷♂️
Nothing. Apple Watch is superior compared to Fitbit
Sleep tracking, no other device is as good as Fitbit in sleep tracking.
I regret nothing. My old Fitbit started collecting sweat under the glass, making it impossible to read the display. It also stopped charging.
The battery life
I miss the simplicity and the size. I ONLY used mine for time and steps and I haven’t even looked at steps (I dont even know how) in the 4 years I’ve had the Apple watch. And the “rings” drive me bananas.
But I use it for EVERYTHING else.
I liked being able to view totals over a period of time on the Fitbit website. I set a goal to walk 2019 miles in 2019 and could just pull up the site and plug in start date and end date and view my year to date totals of steps, miles, calories, etc. Maybe Apple does this somewhere and I just haven’t found it?
