I personally used xiaomi band 6 and samsung watch 6 and i have had bad experience with the band 6 because i wanted to use it for tracking sleep and one day i was sleeping and woke up to see the display being poped out. Issue with Samsung watchs are they are too big to sleep comfortably with rest its better and has more sensors and i also prefer the samsung health app. For a budget option i personally havent used it but i heard a bunch about it and it's samsung fit 3.

What exact features do you need from the watch ba? Kasi if you don't need to craft your own replies, pwede nang mga fitness watches like yung mga Amazfit or Xiaomi bands. I used a Miband 6 before upgrading to a full smartwatch and it can do 80% of what I want from a smartwatch during 24h duty. Haba pa ng battery, umaabot 1week. Smartwatch ko ngayon 2 days lang inaabot May kaduty ako dati na Garmin yung gamit niyang watch. Ok naman daw.

I have a Huawei Band 10. Costs about 50,- euros Before that I had a Xiaomi Mi Band 6, which is even cheaper. Unfortunately the Xiaomi doesn't measure heartrate in the water. The Huawei does. It's possible that the Mi band 9 also supports heartrate monitoring while in the pool, but I'm not sure. The Huawei requires the App to be sideloaded. This requires a little bit of technical skills. So far very happy with the Huawei, but the Xiaomi isn't bad either

Hatte eine Smart Watch von Samsung aber war viel zu schwer, zu groß und der Akku einfach zu schwach. Alle 1-2 Tage laden ist nichts für mich. Habe es dann noch mit einem Mi Band probiert und das war mit seinen knapp 2 Wochen Akku echt in Ordnung, die Funktionen waren ausreichend und es war kaum am Arm zu merken. Vor allem mit Klett-Stoffband war es echt angenehm zu tragen. Aber trotzdem ging es mir am Ende mehr auf den Sack als das es nützlich gewesen wäre. Hab mich auch immer so eingeengt gefühlt damit, vor allem nachts wenn Arme gerne mal etwas dicker werden, oder das Sensorlicht unterm Arm durchscheint und alles unter der Decke zum Leuchten bringt. Keine Ahnung, muss nicht mehr sein. Ist nur ne Spielerei für mich. Normale Uhr hatte ich nie. Als Teenie vllt ne Swatch in den 90ern kurzzeitig aber sonst nie.

Lol same, upgraded from a miband to a garmin, its definitely way better at tracking distance accurately, and has a functioning gps. Also way higher battery life. If you have the budget, you can consider else the Miband is honestly the GOAT. PSA: there is a difference between the sport watches like Garmin and smart watches like apple watches with the apps and battery life. Depending on your use case you can uograde to either if you want more accurate tracking.

Yes, genuinely helpful - but mainly for habit building rather than data accuracy. The reminders, streaks and step goals create real accountability early on when consistency matters most. One caveat- ignore the calorie burn estimates, they're notoriously inaccurate and can mislead your nutrition tracking. For a beginner, a Xiaomi Mi Band or Amazfit gives you everything you actually need (steps, heart rate, sleep) at a very reasonable price. No need to spend premium money starting out. You can upgrade later if you want more features.
