Ich war jahrelang Apple Watch Nutzer (Series 5/7, AWU 1/2). Sehr gute Uhr, dachte ich immer. Bis ich dann eine Fenix 8 ausprobiert habe. Es gibt nichts besseres.
Und den Kommentar mit Spielzeuguhr befindet Apple Uhr kann ich teilen, sieht so aus und wirkt lächerlich wie ich heute finde!
Software der Garmin ist super, klar nicht die Liga der Apple Watch Watch, aber: es ist und soll eine Uhr und ein tracker sein. Siri klappt super, alle wichtigen Informationen die man braucht werden ebenfalls angezeigt.
Wozu derart leistungsfähige Prozessoren ect. wie an der Apple Watch? Was soll der Schwachsinn?
Garmin ist der Meister!!!!!
Apple Watch User for a long time, then switched to Fenix 8. I really don’t regret it! It‘s a own device with all these top functions. An Apple Watch is just an gadget for the iPhone. Not more, yet.
Used to have a watch series 2. That one sucked. Then went to a apple series 5. That one fell into a lake and seeing as the ground in the middle was over 10m, i doubt it survived
Switched to a Garmin instinct 2 tactical solar about 3 years ago. I love not plugging it back to charge everyday (with gps its been lasting a solid 15-20 days a charge)
Great with sports especially skiing (it uses about 3 different satelite technologies so i never lose connection and it detects skiing / lifts to get back up)
I can control music from the watch - bit finnicky with the buttons but eh it is what it is
I got 50% ish off through work so that was a bonus
I do miss being able to send custom messages from it and controlling songs on spotify....
I also miss having the touchscreen, but this watch has remained on my wrist even diving hard into water from cliffs
About 18 months after switching I binned my iphone 9 and got a google pixel so yeah, i never would turn back to apple products....
Depends on what you want to be honest. Just know, that most of these watches can survive in water for a few hours to a couple days, so swimming/diving in it isn't a problem but thats just my opinion
Hope I helped
Honestly, if you are an iPhone user a used old applewatch (like series 4 or 5) is extremely good value for the money. And you don’t have any subscriptions or anything like that
I wore nothing from age 15 to when I got an Apple Watch Series 5. I wore it all the time for a couple years.
Slowly a lot of apps for it which I liked (mfa, Google Maps) and it started to feel less useful to me.
A friend of mine showed me what mechanical watches were (I thought they were all quartz) and I watches some watch repair videos and realized I loved the engineering involved.
After that I picked up my first automatic, a 40mm blue prx. After wearing that for a year and getting a couple other watches in the meantime I realized I wasn’t wearing my Apple Watch at all I gave it to my sister for her to use working out.
Since then, I’ve got a few really nice watches for me and wouldn’t ever go back outside of exercise tracking/music/phone. It would be nice to go for a run with only AirPods and an Apple Watch.
I actually love not having the Apple Watch, I didn’t realize how annoying it was. It’s also less socially and professionally awkward to check a normal watch than it is to check a mini cellphone
