Both Apple Watch and Fitbit user?

Any one else wear both? I do because I love my watch but really enjoy the challenges and all my friends on the Fitbit. But the trouble is I'm not sure of the best way to set up MFP for syncing them both. Obviously I wouldn't want to track steps on both devices. Looking for input from others in this situation.

    I'm exactly the same! I don't know how I got it set up but while they both track, MFP doesn't double up in its count. Somehow MFP even pushes my food diary to Fitbit which is great, I compare often.

    Just pick one or the other to sync here. No need to have them both synced with MFP.

    Well both of us like things about both, which was the point of the post.

    They both count activity, right? Admittedly I'm confused and don't understand following 2 paths to the same destination.

    It's the social aspect to Fitbit while the AW is a superior tracker.

    Then I'd choose the apple watch to be synced here. And keep the fitbit only for challenges etc

    Well I synch both and it handles with no duplication, so no harm done.

    Thanks for the replies. I guess what I was wondering though is that if the steps logged through MFP were duplicated in the exercises logged by the Apple Watch.
