Sleep tracking is really good in gt5 pro
Huawei watches are better looking, better sensors and week long battery life. They take Apple to school.
I can recommend the Huawei GT5 or GT5 Pro. Battery life and fitness are good. Smart notifications are very good. And they're also nice to wear.

Think I'm going to get a Venu 4 in 5 weeks when I can use my 20% Optimity code which I generated last year. Have a Huawei GT5 Pro now but I want the advanced Health metrics of the Venu 4. I like the yellow band as well with the silver bezel, will likely opt for that one. Originally, I wanted the Fenix 8 but the low speaker volume flaw soured my inclination to spend that amount of money on it. Then looked at the Forerunner 970 but it doesn't look like it'll have all of the advanced Health and Sleep features of the Venu 4. So I do think that the Venu 4 will be the best watch to suit my needs. Looks like the build quality is improved as well from the 3 which is a huge addition imo.
Wanted sports/daily. Super happy with it, it monitors the strength trainings super well, it even accurately showed me the peak and recovery! Very very good
In the end i have bought the exact same watch as in the pic, Huawei GT5 pro, the GT6 seemed bit overpriced as it's basically the same this, just bit a smaller bit different design and longer battery life, not 14 days but 21. This wasn't worth for me the additional 200 Euro what that costs here. So far the best smart watch i have tried, I'm really satisfied. Hopefully they introduce Curve pay soon. The quicko was disabled in Czechia, but from what I read it's shit anyhow. Curve and it's a great deal. The full titanium with sapphire glass was something like 320 euro here. Not bad :)
I have the Garmin Enduro 3 and I really love it. I’ve been using it since launch, but I’m starting to feel that it’s a bit boring to look at when I’m not doing any activity. I’ve tried several watch faces, but the feeling is still the same. I’m considering switching to the F8 51mm, or possibly the F8 Pro since the non-Pro version is out of stock in my area. I’m not sure whether moving to AMOLED will actually add more enjoyment to the day-to-day experience. I walk a lot, often in new cities and areas as I travel frequently, but I don’t run much. My priorities are the flashlight, strong navigation capabilities, and battery life that’s better than the F970 — that’s a must. Has anyone here switched from MIP to AMOLED for similar reasons? How did you find the overall “joy” and daily experience? Thanks in advance.
I agree with you about AMOLED brightness, but I have tried several watches like the Huawei GT 5 Pro, Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025, mainly because of how beautiful the watch faces they have. I still have them all, also the Coros Pace Pro, but I always go back to my Enduro 3. I probably would stop wasting money by jumping from one AMOLED to another and still not be satisfied as when I use a Garmin.
