Currently, it seems like technology is becoming more and more advanced every single day. For example, phones have become a big role in modern day life. Now, new watches are coming in to play. Smartwatches have only been out on the market since April of 2015. That shows that there is still plenty of time for watches to be improved immensely. There are two main competitors that control the market. The Apple Watch, made by Apple, and the Fitbit.
Although both claim the title of a smartwatch, there are many differences between them. The Fitbit tracks much of your physical activity and integrates with software that encourages you to be more and more active. One model of the Fitbit, called The Charge, is a step up in price and features from the One and the Flex, which are also other models of the product. This model tracks steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, and active minutes. This product would be perfect for someone who is active or aspiring to be.
“I love my fitbit, it is really helpful and easy to use.” says Jon List, sophomore.
On the other hand, the Apple Watch seems to have a lot more features. Instead of just fitness tracking, it is also viewed as a miniature phone. Users can text, call, go on apps, and keep in touch with their health.The Apple Watch has to be linked directly to the customers iPhone, so that means they can receive messages and calls when their phone is nearby. The newer versions are waterproof and do not require the users phone to be close by. This allows the customer to leave their phone at home if they did not or could not bring it.
Apple watches being sold at the Apple store, they come in all different sizes, colors, and models.
Granting all this information, on a poll of 76 people, 72 said that they liked the Apple Watch better. The other 4 voted for the Fitbit. Even though the Apple Watch can only work with other Apple products, it is still the better model of a smartwatch. A smartwatch should be able to do many different things, not just track fitness and health. The Apple Watch Series 5 will be out this upcoming September with even more improvements and features.
