Apple Watch Edges Out Fitbit for Step Counting Accuracy

I walked 5,000 steps wearing an Apple Watch Series 9 and a Fitbit Charge 6 to compare accuracy.

I manually counted steps to determine which device was more precise.

The Apple Watch recorded 4,942 steps while the Fitbit logged 4,907 steps.

The Apple Watch was closer to the actual step count, underestimating by 58 steps.

Though not 100% accurate, trackers help set goals like 10,000 daily steps for health benefits.
