Slowly moving from the Fitbit Versa to the Apple Watch

Posted By on January 14, 2025

Duffy appIt is taking me a while to learn how to use my new Apple Watch Series 10 and tinker with what apps I want to be draining the battery. With my Fitbit Versa 2 four days of battery life was the norm, but as expected, the Apple Watch is only good for a day — a full day though

When it comes to the watch face and complications running, I’ve opted for the Infograph (below) due to the extra apps on the screen (I would have preferred a digital watch face like the Versa, but this works.)

When in comes to monitoring my exercise, I’ve grown used to the “step count” monitoring of the Fitbit and smiled each time the fireworks would burst when it hit 10,000 steps each day. Close your ringsI suspect in time that I will adopt the Apple Rings, but for now the Steps/Distance complication is in the top left corner (see below) and the “Workout” app open on touching. Currently I’m using the Duffy app too, but it is a bit simple and suspect it will soon be gone? 

I’m still in the process of shuffling around a few apps and might give up the wind strength and direction (bottom left), but currently don’t find any other bit of “always on” information all that essential. For now this is a work in progress and can comfortably use the watch 24 hours a day (quick charging it only when waking up, showing, dressing and eating breakfast).
