I believe the Apple Watch is far better for privacy than Fitbits are. Health data is end to end encrypted on Apple watches. Fitbit requires you to sync things with their cloud services and they have access to all of the data AFAIK.

Also Fitbit is owned by Google now and if you created an account afterwards, everything is tied to your Google account. Which is a yikes
