"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"especially because of the battery life. ... The mouse I had right before this was the steelseries super light one, that was an every other day charge at minimum. Whereas this one is like once a week at most - and I work from home and game all night."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"Oh and battery life went from charging every two days to every 15 days."
"Battery, obviously. Listening to downloads on LTE burns 20% per half hour for me."
"Mine kept dieing one me mid run ... after two years of using it twice hours was about all an aw had battery for when using music and gps! By the 2:15 mark it would be dead. ... When I started running for longer than 2 hrs my battery would die mid run"

"Running with AOD turned off is broken for me. The activity still tracks when you turn your wrist away but it kicks you back to the clockface instead of Fitbit."
"I have a non-standard sleep schedule so it's a 50/50 crap shoot if I'll get a HRV reading in the first place since they won't pull a daytime reading, and each time I didn't, it would just average in a 0 and completely ruin any use the data was having."
"GPS is inaccurate, I run the same route on weekends and it tracks ±10% on clear sky days (!!)."
I had a samsung galaxy watch and my bestie had an apple watch. We both switched to garmin. I have the forerunner 165, and she has the vivoactive. One of best features of the garmin watches is battery life - one charge lasts about a week with daily workout tracking
r/orangetheory • Smartwatch Recommendations for Fitness + OTF Beat Burn Outside the Studio? ->Same! Galaxy has a peloton app on it, activated automatically. Highly recommend.
r/pelotoncycle • Peloton with fitness tracker (not Fitbit)? ->For battery life I would go Ticwatch or OnePlus 3. I have the latest Galaxy Watch and while the watch itself is slimmer than my Ticwatch 5, its battery life isn't great. I would have 70% battery left after listening to podcasts all day on my Ticwatch, while I have less than 50% with my Galaxy Watch.
r/WearOS • Best suggested Wear OS watch for early 2025 ->I wore my galaxy watch for 3 years climbing with no protection on it and while it got some scratches, it never really got anything on the screen and nothing cracked, it's a pretty durable piece of hardware. The only time it really got in the way of climbing was on the occasional very large sloper where you get an arm on the hold and on crack climbs. I don't wear it anymore because I no longer enjoy smart watches in general, but it was a pretty solid piece of tech in terms of durability.
r/bouldering • Performance / Fitness Tracker ->I've been eaten alive for saying this, but I'll say it again. Most information available comparing smart watch accuracy find them pretty close to each other. If you want something to generally track this information then Galaxy Watch is a perfectly fine pick. If you're doing more extreme sports then someone more rugged like a Garmin smart watch might be a better pick. If you want the absolute most accurate measurements then get a medical device that measures that. Smart watches are not designed or claim to medical devices. Just accurate enough to be useful overall. You may have times where it misses something or has blips but the overall result is accurate to be actionable. And Galaxy AI can offer suggestions that may be helpful in improving your health or exercise routine.
r/GalaxyWatch • Do you think that galaxy watch 8 reliable in health and fitness monitoring ->Neither does galaxy watch. These watches last lole 1 day at max meanwhile Garmin can last for a whole week in a single charge.
r/Fitness_India • Why Do People Choose Garmin Over Apple or Samsung for Fitness? ->For most a garmin a more than enough and that battery is a huge win. I went from galaxy watch to fenix and would not go back. Sounds like we are aligned :-)
r/GarminWatches • So for someone who does absolutely no exercise at all is fenix 8 over kill haha ->I use my galaxy watch because I like to listen to music while I climb without having my phone near by. I use a protective screen on the watch. I run through em quickly.
r/bouldering • Do you climb with a watch on? ->I use hevy with my galaxy watch but I have been tempted by the supposed garmin sensor and battery life superiority and even bought an epix pro gen 2 during BF sales but the lack of hevy and garmin only being able to write to google's health connect and not read data was a deal breaker and I returned it.
r/Hevy • What smart tech are people using with Hevy? ->NRC does not require Apple products. Works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Watch.
r/nikerunclub • Any non-Apple watches that sync Runs directly to Nike Run Club (without annoying third party apps). Must include GPS map of run ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
