Can I use fitbit leaderboards with Apple Watch (never owned fitbit)

Hello, i've been reading the sync solver methods and everything, BUT I have never owned a fitbit. I've been debating on that or an apple watch. I'm set on the apple watch but I love the concept of the leaderboards for fitbit. Am I able to set up a fitbit account without one to follow my friends (who i know own a fitbit) while still competing with them via apple watch??

Sorry I know this has been addressed, it's just i've never seen it addressed from someone who has never had either.

thank you in advance
