Fitbit Versa 2 (£160) or Apple Watch Series 3 (£200)

Hi.

I want a smart watch, my first one. And I am torn between the Fitbit Versa 2 or Apple Watch 3. They are both in my budget range.

I need something that I can track sleep with, monitoring heart rate is useful, see notifications from Insta, Twitter and WhatsApp, and be able to use Apple or Fitbit Pay.

Which of the two is better in your opinion? The fact I have an iPhone, will that make a difference?

I use Spotify, so I assume I can skip and replay tracks from the watch?

I lean towards the Fitbit as it has a much longer battery. But worry about the compatibility. Would the watch be able to show emojis I receive from text messages as well? As this doesn’t work with some watches.

Thanks.
