Can Apple Watch Send Data to Fit Bit Ap without owning Fit Bit?

Hello:

I received a FitBit Surge for Christmas and subsequently joined challenges with all of my friends on who also have FitBits. However, I found the FB Surge didn't do all of the things I wanted it to do, so I returned it and was given an Apple Watch as a replacement. It counts my steps, measures my activity, ect.. all the the things my FitBit did, but so much more. However, even though I no longer have a FitBit, but still walk and track steps and stairs with my apple watch, I still would like to participate in the challenges with my FitBit friends. Even though I don't own a FitBit anymore, I still get notifications and the ap is still live on my phone and I get invited to challenges, get notifications, messages and such. Is there a way to send my activity data (just steps and floors measured by my apple watch) over to the FitBit ap so I can participate in the challenges with my friends who have FitBits? A friend suggested I just buy the $89 FitBit clip for the steps and stairs, but it seems silly that I have to wear two devices.

Thank you in advance to all who respond and for your helpful comments!

Hi Carole

The Fitbit app presently only syncs with Fitbit's line of activity trackers and basic activity tracked by your iPhone:

- "MobileTrack accurately tracks your basic activity when you carry your phone".

The Fitbit app does not include support for Apple Watch. If you would like the developer to consider adding this, you may wish to let them know:

- http://help.fitbit.com/

More information: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/fitbit/id462638897?mt=8

However, you may wish to consider this iPhone app: Matchup - Fitness Challenges

- "We offer cross device compatibility by fetching your step and distance data from the Health App, Fitbit, Jawbone, Withings, Garmin, Misfit, and the Moves App, so that you can participate in activity challenges together."
