Happy to view your evidence that the Apple Watch is the best and most accurate fitness wearable out there.
No one is claiming it is. No one has claimed that. It is, however, as was stated, good enough for 99% of the people out there. That's simply a fact.
It also doesn't diagnose AFIB, nor does it claim to. It only tracks and estimates time in AFIB in people who have already been diagnosed with AFIB.

Apple watch, but battery like is poor. I think the series that just came out has longer battery life.

Yep, you are lacking in that area.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Watch. Not only what you asked for but also has EKG so when your (not saying YOU are fat) fat arse tries running the first time you can check your EKG while having a heart attack.

Your inability to read and comprehend is astounding.
No one in this thread has said the Apple Watch is the best fitness tracker there is.
The position is that for 99% of people it is the best option.

I use a spreadsheet to track, but I have no desire to count trips to the kitchen and bathroom as logable exercise so no need for a counter.

here comes mingo but ive been rocking a fitbit luxe for 4-5 years and its become a quiet part of my life now.
its a thin black band about the thickness of the old livestrong band and i charge it once maybe every 2 weeks. it has a tiny screen which is always off unless i double tap it to see the time and its been fantastic at monitoring my life; sleep, steps (fitbit has consistently been ranked among the most accurate step counter), afib detection, blood O2 monitoring, etc etc etc.
its got an open API so you can download every last heartbeat for the the entire 4 years and plug it into a dashboard to track a HUGE amount of health data that my doctor would never have access to.
in short, its been great. too bad google bought it and is forcing me to close my fibit account by feb
i literally never take it off except for an hour or so every 2 weeks to charge it. i think thats the whole point of a health tracker; if you have to charge it every day or its a hassle to take on and off all the time, you've defeated its purpose.
ETA forgot to mention this is all FREE and you can pick up a LUXE on ebay these days for like $20.

The hardware is “free” though unlike the oura ring.
Their marketing pitch is 2 years of membership is the same price as an Apple Watch or Garmin that needs to be replaced every two years and you’ll always have their most current hardware.
Now do I totally believe that, no. But that’s their idea

You take it off in the morning and put it on the charger when you shower and get ready and it’s fully charged by the time you’re ready to walk out the door. It’s not that hard.

I mean I could maybe get behind this stance if 99% of people had an iPhone. However, that's not the case so your statement isn't true. For anyone who doesn't have an iPhone, an Apple Watch is definitely not the best option.

how about if you go on vacation and forget your charger? i hate anything outside of my phone that needs daily charging. if you're taking an active vacation and your tracker dies on day one, you've missed all kinds of potentially insightful fit data.
