"I’m one of those people the Apple Watch sent to the doctors 6 years ago and I had heart surgery in August! So it technically saved my life!"
"my AW alerted me to heart irregularities that sent me to the ER and findings of a small heart attack and a secondary artery in my heart with 99% blockage. I am AW for life now."
"it has even detected heart issue during my sleep that got fixed by surgery later on."

"a recent update even added Strength training to the Garmin Coach feature. It used to just be running plans. ... But aside from that you can make your own strength training workouts. ... I personally really enjoy the ability to make my own workouts and fill out the calendar in the app to have a custom training plan that I know works for me."
"The suggested daily workouts seems to integrate with the running calendar and a mirage of other metrics to help you get to the set goals, I found the SDW much better than the Garmin Coach on the Venu 2s."
"The other advantage that I exploit is the data sharing across devices - my Edge devices know what training I carried out using my watches, and the data is collated and used to advise my training progress and plans."

"for the price it's everything I need :)"

"I heard there are 1 or 2 features that are locked to Galaxy phones on the Samsung buds. ... I really dislike the concept of something that I pay for having features gatekept from me."

"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 (!!)."

"Well, when ever I try to video anything in 60fps the damn thing overheats and either freezes or turns off."
"Missed a super lucky video of my wife with an eagle ray because at that precise moment the 13 decided that the memory card was too slow (it wasn't) and it won't record. ... That happened a few other times this same snorkel session, albeit I didn't miss anything else epic. And then it just fixed itself and I didn't have this issue until the end of the day."
"Every GoPro I have ever used have at some point just snagged for no reason. ... It's great, but it did fail me once for no reason, right before doing a speedriding line which I really wanted to film."
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? ->Check out the Amazfit GTR 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 if you can find it on sale - both hit most of your requirements and actually look like proper watches instead of those chunky fitness tracker things. The GTR 4 especially has insane battery life and the health tracking is pretty solid for the price range
r/Adulting • Looking for a classy smartwatch under 5k to track calories and health stuff ->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 changed a galaxy watch4 for a Garmin Fénix 8 and there is no color.....no point of comparison.
r/GarminFenix • Anyone own Garmin Smartwatch and Samsung Smartwatch? Torn between Fenix 8 and Samsung Watch 8 Classic ->I use a Galaxy Watch 4. It's been great. A refurbished model on Amazon costs about $50.
r/Swimming • Garmin vs Apple Watch + Swim.com: What is your workout and accuracy experience with these? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
