Let me start with this: I never owned the original Apple Watch, or as it's known now 'Apple Watch Series 1'. I felt after giving it a fair try (for a week or so) that it tried to do a lot of things, none of them particularly well. But as watchOS has developed, I've been more and more impressed with Apple Watch, and now that Apple Watch Series 2 is here, I'm seriously considering the spend.
Why? One thing. Built in GPS.
I do a lot of running. Well, let's say jogging (I'm not that fast). I'm also a longtime Fitbit user, and overall have been extremely happy with my experience on all of their devices. However, now that the Apple Watch has built-in GPS, I'm seriously considering a purchase to completely replace my Fitbit experience.
True, I could go for the Fitbit Surge (with built-in GPS), but all the device does is what it is supposed to do... ongoing health tracking, fitness tracking, etc. The Apple Watch would take it to another level. All of the benefits of fitness tracking with GPS, along with full integration with my phone, tablet, desktop, etc.
For now let's just say I'm really intrigued. I'm not going to drop the $$$ immediately, but will definitely head down to an Apple Store when they are on display to check them out. I have a feeling a lot of longtime Fitbit users are in a similar situation.
Your thoughts?
