Should I buy the Fitbit Charge 6 or Apple Watch SE?

Choosing between the Fitbit Charge 6 and the Apple Watch SE comes down to two main decisions: your phone's operating system and how often you want to charge your device.

If you use an Android phone, the Fitbit Charge 6 is your only option here, as the Apple Watch SE requires an iPhone. If you use an iPhone, the choice hinges on your priorities. The Fitbit Charge 6 functions as a highly capable fitness tracker with basic notifications, boasting an impressive 7-day battery life and built-in health sensors like ECG and EDA (stress tracking). The Apple Watch SE, on the other hand, is a true smartwatch with robust app integration, seamless calling and texting, and highly accurate heart rate tracking, but it requires daily charging.
