    Urbane Google Fit Step Count compared to Fitbit One

    Have you considered how the devices are being worn? I'm guessing the Fitbit will be on your hip belt or in pocket and your watch on your wrist? my guess is that one position will report different to the other. Though as you'd think the manufactures should account for this to balance out the...

    How bright is clock in Ambient ON mode?

    Additionally you can use and app like WatchMaker and customise watch faces to have the ambient/dimmed face as bright or as dim as you want.

    Hidden feature?

    If your battery gets low the watch will automatically turn off some features such as wi-fi to conserve power. I've also had mine declare that Fit is not being used so some features will be turned off permanently until reactivated manually.

    battery Life
