Why is Apple Watch so difficult compared to my Fitbit

Apple Watch seems so complicated and restricted next to my Fitbit. I can’t change settings from the phone I can only do it from Watch? And why is the calorie setting the only change I can make? Very frustrated... can’t there be one app on the phone to make your changes and have tons of options and settings? Series 3 and you’re still not there apple. 😞

Many settings can be changed via the Watch app on your iPhone (but not the Move goal, which must be changed on the watch).

Resources for helping to set up and use your Apple Watch include:

Personal setup

If you bought your Apple Watch from Apple (whether online, by phone or in an Apple Store), then you may wish to take advantage of a free Personal Setup session (refer to Apple's related email to schedule this).
Personal Setup can help with answering questions, explaining key features, helping you to find apps and showing you how to personalise your Apple Watch.
