It's a Fitbit vs. Garmin battle: which device came out on top over 12,000 steps?

I walked 12,000 steps with the Fitbit Edge and the Garmin Forerunner 70, and I wasn’t expecting this result

In the latest test comparing the Fitbit Edge and Garmin Forerunner 70, the Fitbit Edge emerged victorious in the step-counting challenge, closely followed by the Garmin Forerunner 70. The Fitbit Edge overcounted by 56 steps, while the Garmin Forerunner 70 overcounted by 89 steps during a span of four separate walks. Despite their slight differences in accuracy, both devices came remarkably close to the manual step count of 12,531 steps recorded during the test.

Both the Fitbit Edge and Garmin Forerunner 70 offer more than just step counting, with features like built-in GPS and heart rate monitoring. The choice between the two ultimately depends on the user's specific needs and preferences.
