From what I’ve seen on Reddit, especially on the running side of things, are people training for a half marathon or full marathon and have like a Series 1-4 and complain that the Apple Watch battery wouldn’t last the whole race. But they’ll go out and buy a brand new Garmin🤔
Like if you search Apple Watch battery in some running subs you’ll see people complaining about it and recommended Garmin. I’m biased because I’ve always had an Apple Watch and I have no plans at this time to replace it, but at the same time I feel people have these old series watches with terrible battery life and think the newer models are the same.
The battery life definitely needs improvement though… I’m still on my Series 7 because I’m waiting for some major improvement to the form factor, health feature, and batterylife. But after all of that, I can still make it through the entire day. I charge every morning for like 20mins and then it doesn’t need a charge until the next day and I’m a pretty active person.
Had AW 6, 7, 10... Had Garmin Fenix 7 somewhere between AW... Now with Garmin instinct 3. ALl has pros and cons. none is perfect. For me it's great to switch from time to time... I would happily do the same between iphone and android, but the cost of switch in terms of software is crazy...
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.
I started with a FitBit, then switched to a basic Garmin watch, and landed on Apple Watch S3; I've since moved up to S7 and plan on getting the S12 when released in the fall. I primarily use it for workouts, health monitoring & sleep tracking, and _important_ alerts (messages from family, for example). Apple Pay on the watch is real nice too.

You can turn off all the non-health/workout notifications on the watch.
