I counted 4,000 steps to test the Fitbit Air vs Pixel Watch 4 — and the Fitbit Air wins the accuracy battle with one major caveat

In a detailed comparison between the budget-friendly $99 Fitbit Air and the premium $349 Pixel Watch 4, the Fitbit Air emerged as the more accurate fitness tracker when it came to counting steps. Despite its lower price, the Fitbit Air closely matched the Pixel Watch 4 in step count accuracy during a 4,000-step test, highlighting the growing reliability of mid-range fitness devices. This outcome is significant as it suggests that high-end features don't always equate to superior performance, challenging the notion that pricier tech always outperforms cheaper alternatives. The caveat lies in the Fitbit's limited additional health tracking capabilities compared to the Pixel Watch 4.
