Some users like to track how many calories they burn only while exercising and don’t care about those burned during resting. Unlike Fitbit, Apple makes a distinction between “active calories” and “resting calories.” The ring that records calories, the Move ring, only measures the active calories. This means that the calories you burn while sleeping and resting will also be included in the total number. Fitbit starts measuring your calories at midnight and shows the total burned calories. The crucial difference between the two is what calories they record. Of course, you can always adjust the calorie goal. Apple Watch’s design features three rings, one of which is the recommended number of calories you should burn daily. Like Fitbit, Apple allows you to enter your personal information such as gender, weight, and height to calculate how many calories you should be burning on average. The difference is whether you care more about the actual step count or the burned calories and general activity throughout the day.Īpple Watch also uses your BMR to count burned calories.
Of course, Apple Watch is still good, especially when you calibrate it. As it enables you to view them while walking, it’s more reliable and user-friendly. Many users find this option a deal-breaker and opt for Fitbit or another brand that enables this feature.Īccording to many users, Fitbit is more accurate in counting steps. This means you can’t simply look at your wrist and view your step count. Unlike a Fitbit, an Apple Watch doesn’t have a built-in step count feature on the Apple Watch Face. That way, you can establish whether the results are correct. What’s more, Fitbit allows you to view your step count as you walk. On the other hand, Fitbit focuses on the actual steps you take during the day. In that respect, Apple Watch’s calorie count has the advantage over steps.
But when you take 10,000 steps in a shorter amount of time and by going uphill, you burn many more calories. There is a good reason for this: you can make 10,000 steps easily throughout the whole day by walking slowly. Apple Watch is more focused on calorie burn and movement when measuring your steps.
