Possibly stupid question about the Apple Watch...

[CakeNinja]

Thinking about upgrading my knackered Fitbit with an Apple Watch. But part of the reason I like my Fitbit is the ability to be competitive with the step counter and my friends.
Is there a similar function with this watch?

Yes, it has a step counter

But does it allow you to be competitive with others? I find it really motivating!
Maybe I’ll just end up replacing like for like, Fitbit’s are much cheaper and I’m not sure I’ll use all the bits of the Apple Watch.

Only people you know, so you would need their email address. I miss the Fitbit challenges

The Apple Watch does a weekly challenge where you compete with friends (who have an Apple Watch) and you have to reach 600 points everyday. You do this by overachieving on closing your rings. It def works and get you motivated

Upon pondering it some more I think I’ll stick with upgrading my Fitbit. The only person I know with an Apple Watch is a work colleague and my pt, I much prefer my existing Fitbit buddies!
