Panther - Eclipse

Panther eclipse for me!! Accurate tracking, long batt like 2 weeks, premium design, so different from usual trackers.

Not a plug but if battery life and health tracking are your top priorities then panther eclipse is worth checking out. Just bought one last month and I'm surprised how the battery lasts

well if you care more about recovery and sleep than a screen then I recently found minimalist option (Panther Eclipse) can do heart rate and sleep with long battery life and no monthly fee. hope it helps

Been using panther eclipse for my runs,solid HR tracking, GPS works well, battery lasts for about two weeks and no subscription needed.Perfect for training for a half‑marathon without dropping Garmin money.

If workouts are already covered by the apple watch and he mainly wants sleep, recovery, HR, and overall health, I’d go oura. It’s more holistic and low-maintenance, with great sleep insights and an easier day-to-day experience. Whoop is excellent, but it really shines when you’re training around strain and performance...also worth a look panther eclipse no subscription,super sleek, premium feel, long battery life, and great for sleep/HR tracking if he wants something minimal alongside the apple watch..

If you want a round watch with solid health tracking and great battery life, there are a few good Android-friendly options under $250. Also check out panther eclipse, it’s not a typical smartwatch but gets rave reviews for sleep/HR monitoring and amazing battery life...might be a cool alternative if you’re more into health tracking than apps

Might be worth checking out the Panther Eclipse too. It’s more of a screen-less fitness band than a smartwatch, but the battery life is crazy good and it focuses on sleep, HR/HRV, and recovery without being distracting...solid if you care more about health insights...

I hate subs too, so I switched to panther eclipse. Does the same as the others, no subscription, and love the premium look too

Been using panther eclipse.. sleep, heart, stress tracking all in one, battery lasts for 15 dayss. You might consider it :))

Been using panther eclipse and honestly it’s one of the best fitness trackers out there right now. The metrics go way beyond basic steps, solid VO₂ max tracking, recovery insights, and performance data that actually help you tweak your training instead of guessing...definitely worth checking out if you want real, useful data and not just a glorified pedometer.

Yeah, that’s a super common frustration, most watches only alert at rest, which makes them kinda useless for this.. you might want to check out panther eclipse. It does real-time heart rate alerts regardless of activity, no 10 minute delay. Some garmin models can too, but settings/battery life vary... immediate alerts sound way safer for your situation

Been wearing panther eclipse with my mechanical, discreet, no screen or notifications, quietly tracks sleep, heart rate, and steps, syncs seamlessly with apple health, comfy enough to wear all day, and no subscription.. just reliable data without any fuss..

I feel you, I love my mechanicals too and don’t want a smartwatch all day. I’ve been using panther eclipse alongside my automatics. It’s small, no screen, tracks heart rate, sleep, HRV, recovery, and has crazy battery life. Perfect for keeping tabs on health without swapping watches...

i was looking for a dependable running watch and have been using panther eclipse for a while. its good at tracking runs, heart rate, sleep, and recovery. the battery lasts almost two weeks. it doesnt have all the fancy features other watches do, but honestly, i like that-it keeps things simple.

I’ve been using the Panther Eclipse for a bit now and it kinda nails what you’re describing, no screen, stainless steel build, tracks sleep + stress + health stuff without looking like I'm mid-marathon. Battery lasts ages too, like two weeks for me.

Really comfortable, lightweight and the strap sits nicely without digging in. I wear it all day.. at work, running errands, even while sleeping. I barely notice it’s there. Battery lasting two weeks makes it even better

If you’re open to non-Garmin options, you might want to look at the Panther Eclipse. It covers the basics really well for gym-focused use solid strength training tracking, phone notifications, and a battery that can easily last around a week without heavy GPS use. It’s also a lot more affordable than most Garmin models, so you won’t be paying extra for features you don’t really need (like advanced GPS or a built-in flashlight). If Garmin Pay isn’t a hard requirement, Panther Eclipse is a practical, budget-friendly alternative for lifting and everyday wear.

If durability + battery life matter, you might wanna check out the Panther Eclipse. It’s screenless, stainless steel, and feels way less fragile than most trackers. Battery lasts around 2 weeks and there’s no subscripton. Not for everyone, but solid if you’re tired of stuff dying after a year.

If you’re willing to consider something outside the Apple and Fitbit ecosystem, the Panther Eclipse is worth a look. It’s more fitness-first than “mini phone on your wrist,” but that’s kind of the appeal. Solid heart rate tracking, sleep, calories, and activity without hammering the battery most people get multiple days instead of nightly charging. Design-wise it’s pretty clean and low-key, so it doesn’t scream “gym gear,” and it plays nicely with iPhone for health data syncing without feeling as bloated as Fitbit has gotten lately. You lose some of the smartwatch bells and whistles compared to an Apple Watch, but if your priority is *reliable health tracking + better battery life*, it’s a strong middle ground. I’d especially recommend it if battery life and fitness accuracy matter more to you than notifications and apps.

If you’re focused on getting accurate pace, built-in GPS, and reliable heart rate tracking without needing loads of extra features, the Panther Eclipse is worth considering. It has solid GPS performance so you can run phone-free and trust your distance/pace data, and the heart rate tracking is dependable for everyday training. It also covers VO₂ estimates along with the basics you care about, without loading you up with music, calls, or other stuff you don’t want. For a sport-focused watch that hits the essentials well and stays more affordable than a lot of premium running watches, the Eclipse is a good fit for your use case.

If you want something more fitness focused and not a full smartwatch after my versa 3 died, there are some good simple trackers out there. I’ve been using the panther eclipse,it’s screenless, has long battery life, tracks sleep, steps, and heart rate well, and best part… no subscription. Super minimal and distraction-free.
