Hi everyone.

 

I have an Apple Watch. I also have a Fitbit Luxe and purchased a Versa 4 for use with Google Pay.

 

Well, that was the plan, my plan was to use the Versa 4 full time, use Luxe for exercise and sell the Apple Watch.

 

What I can do on the Apple Watch

- Add my credit card

- Install a Spotify app

- Download music to the Watch

- Play music from the watch to my airpods

 

Everything I cannot do on the Versa 4.

 

I miss the battery life, auto exercise tracking, challenges but won't miss the battery drain from the app.

 

Anyone else in the same predicament?

 

Thanks for reading.

Hi @honglong1976 - if you are interested in good battery life the Apple watch is not the candidate, have you considered Garmin for instance?

Hi Guy,

 

I have used Garmin before and the software sucks. Also, the watches, while great for activity, don't have the same experiance (not even close) to the Apple Watch.

 

If the Apple Watch had: better battery and auto activity detection (it does detect activity but you have to start and stop things, it's not great).

 

I use one every day. I sent timers without pressing anything, I can reply to messages on the watch, it connects to the WIFI, it has a spotify app, basically, and I can add my credit card.

 

It's a shame because I really like Fitbit.

 

🙂

@honglong1976  - thanks, but things may have progressed - find everything better on the Venu 2 Plus, including 8-10 day battery life and the app.

Yes I’ve just bought Apple SE watch and whilst I love the features ie notifications etc it seems rubbish from the exercise front! I can’t get a general overview of exercise sleep bpm etc had to load a pedometer app so I get steps to show on screen, given up on sleep and schedule palaver and the battery life does my head in! Any advice, seriously thinking about just getting another Fitbit any suggestions or am I missing some exercise trick on Apple watch? Not made about activity rings 😕 Normally I love Apple but…

any advice suggestions much appreciated 😊
