11 reasons you should buy an Apple Watch instead of Fitbit's new $200 smartwatch

Apple Watch Series 3

In the world of smartwatches, Apple Watch reigns supreme — and for good reason.

The 4-year-old watch — which is on its fourth iteration, the Apple Watch Series 3 — is still the best watch for iPhone users. It has built-in GPS, an optional cellular connection, a stunning edge-to-edge display, and can even tell you when you're having heart problems.

But in recent months, Fitbit introduced an exciting new smartwatch called Fitbit Versa that looks a lot like an Apple Watch, has most of the same features, and costs a fraction of the price.

And while Fitbit Versa is a fantastic watch, there are still 11 strong reasons to buy an Apple Watch instead:

1. Apple offers more styles, finishes, and bands for the Apple Watch.

Apple currently sells five types of Apple Watch — Apple Watch Series 1, Apple Watch Series 3, Apple Watch Edition, Apple Watch Hermès, and Apple Watch Nike+ — all of which come in multiple finishes and colors.

Apple also sells eight different types of bands in dozens of colors, not to mention the third-party bands that work with Apple Watch, too.

All in all, Apple Watch is more customizable than Fitbit Versa.

2. Apple Watch comes in two sizes, whereas Fitbit Versa only comes in one.

Apple Watch comes in two sizes — 38mm or 42mm. This is perfect for people with larger or smaller wrists, or anyone who has a particular preference when it comes to the size of their watch face.

Fitbit Versa comes in only one size — about 34mm. This is perfect for slim wrists, but not for anyone who prefers a larger watch face.

3. Apple Watch has a bigger screen and slimmer edges — called bezels — meaning it's closer to having an edge-to-edge display.

The screens on both sizes of the Apple Watch are larger than Fitbit Versa's 34mm display. But beyond screen size, Apple Watch has slimmer edges than Fitbit Versa, which means the screen takes up more of the watch face.

Plus, all Apple Watches have an OLED display, versus Fitbit Versa's LCD screen. OLED displays typically look better, brighter, and have more contrast than LCDs.
