"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)."

"JLab go sport + FTW. ... I have the same sweaty ear issue and the beats fall out of my head. ... The jlab are cheap and even they stay in. (Because they hook over your ear)"
"I downgraded from the meet 2 to se since I was only using 1080p and am happy with my choice! ... If you’re planning on just doing 1080p I’d save the cash and go meet se."
"The CCA trio and the Vader Balanced are similarly tuned, but both are one of the best iems under 30 usd."

"none of them have any creaking or sensor issues, even after few months of use."
"none of them have any creaking or sensor issues, even after few months of use. ... I bought recently x2-h mini just to find out if there's bad QC like everyone says, and I have zero issues."

"It’s also pretty well established that AW has the best motion tracking which shows up when you use the swim feature for distance. ... In swimming, it’s not even close. 100% of garmins worn during our pool swims are incorrect, regardless of swimmer level. ... Every single Garmin incorrectly reported swim distance vs manual counting. Freestyle 4000m in 25m pool."
"even detected kickboard sets, where on a Coros or Garmin those don’t register at all."
"I had an Apple Watch, replaced it with a garmin forerunner for 1 month it was the worst! So inaccurate and when I’d swim in pools it would so often double count my lengths… I went back to Apple Watch"

"its an incredible watch. ... I have never been happier. It is miles ahead of FR 255 in all aspects, workout detection, responsiveness, and functionality. It's amazing for $200. ... the quality, heart rate accuracy, and design are top notch and making quality products, most importantly - at a low cost. ... T-rex 3 is waaay better than $350-$1000 Garmin. I don't think its better than $1300 Fenix 8, but it can compete with it, there are reviews on youtube from credible youtubers comparing these 2. The fact that they are comparing and not finding too much of a gap between $1300 and $200 watches is more than enough to tell you how good T-rex 3 is."

"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"

"The thing whoop is giving me is wildly inaccurate HR readings. ... Did a casual bike ride with my child yesterday afternoon and whoop gave me a 187 high HR. This was a really slow like 4 block bike ride. ... AW said 108hr peak. Ive biked hard, ran as hard as possible doing max HR tests with my H10 chest strap and never hit above high 160s. ... Im not sure whats going on but its been doing this type of odd HR readings all week."
"I had Whoop for three months and it started showing a very bad data. Like catastrophicly bad. ... Bought Polar chest strap to check my HRV, it was VERY different and was showing me my normal data, data that whoop originally showed to me as well until three months into use it stopped."
"HR reading on Whoop are known for being absolutely aweful. ... Better having an accurate reading every 5 minutes than multiple bad readings every seconds. ... Whoop has awesome software and data analysis, but makes it somehow unusable because of bad hr data in. ... If HR accuracy is not a problem for you, and only follow "very general trends", yeah Whoop is a cool product. But if you are at some minimal point serious about HR accuracy, for real sport / performance / improvment, you cannot relly on it. ... If a Polar device, Garmin, apple watch says it's at 80 with readings every minute or so, and whoop says 65 every seconds, your "constant readings" are not worth anything. Garbage in, garbage out. ... Even counting it manually with a timer and my finger on my neck would be more accurate. ... their linear HR sensors are poor quality, and not the ideal way of positioning them (VS circular patern)."

"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
