Apple Watch 7 vs. Fitbit Sense: Which smartwatch is best for you? – CNN Underscored

When the Apple Watch debuted in 2015, it was expensive, limited and marketed mostly as a luxury item. If you wanted a fitness tracker, Fitbit was already on people’s wrists by then, along with various other devices that focused on counting steps, measuring heart rate and the like.

What a difference seven years make. Today, the Apple Watch 7 and the Fitbit Sense are the flagship products of both companies, and right now seemed the perfect time to pit them against each other. So, which premium fitness tracker/smartwatch rules them all? The answer, unsurprisingly, is mixed.

Which one you should buy depends partly on what phone you own, what you want out of a smartwatch or fitness tracker and whether you want to replace your smartphone or extend its capabilities. The bottom line? Get the Apple Watch 7 if you already own an iPhone and want to blend productivity and general fitness. The Fitbit Sense is for those who want deep health and fitness data and aren’t inexorably tied into the Apple ecosystem.
