Fit bit vs. Apple Watch? My husband is a fitness nut using an old Fitbit (several generations old) and he also has an iPhone. I thought an upgrade might be nice for our anniversary. Is one definitively better than the other?

Outside option: A Shinola watch, which he’s mentioned before he thinks are nice as an everyday timepiece. (Budget is <$600ish)

I'm a Garmin person over fitbit but think about framing the question like this- does he want a fitness tracker that works as a watch, or a watch that works as a fitness tracker?

if he's using it for fitness tracking and likes having the watch features, go for a fitness watch. If he likes having a watch with fitness features, go for the apple watch.

I have a vivoactive line watch. I also hear good things about the fenix, the venu, and the forerunner lines!

I got an Apple Watch because I like being able to use it for other things (Apple Wallet, Messages, email notifications, etc). The fitness apps I use are pretty basic, like NRC, Health, Peloton app, etc so I don’t need anything too sporty.

My biggest selling point for choosing Fitbit over Apple Watch (even tho I have iPhone) is the battery. You only need to charge fit bit every 4-5 days vs daily for Apple

I was in a very bad shape last year (major anxiety episodes, OCD flares, panic attacks) and now I'm MUCH better. I feel like one thing that helped through it was for the first time in my life opening myself to experience my spiritual side (not talking religion here).

I feel like now that i feel better overall, I'm disregarding that part of me but wishing i still had that drive to feed my spiritual self. Any ideas on how to bring it back to my life in a way that doesn't really feel forced?
