Ultra Series

That's not my experience at all. The AWU tells me I'm asleep if I read in bed, and that I always have an amazing sleep score. My Fenix ​​8 is much more in line with how I feel. It might be wrong about the exact distribution of sleep phases, but it uses sensors that take readings every second, such as temperature and heart rate, to calculate its sleep score.

I tried it… Back to Garmin after two months. The AWU3 is appealing but doesn't suit my lifestyle and is too distracting on the wrist. Besides, I can have 12-hour workdays, so I prefer weekly training minutes to rings. WorkoutDoors is decent, but data transfer is a pain (the app has to be open on the watch and you have to try several times), there's no speed gauge, and it's generally cumbersome to use. Bevel is appealing for two weeks, but the nutrition tracking is inadequate in France, and the data can't be reliable with such low sampling rates for HRV and heart rate. No PacePro that I know of. For running coaching, you need a subscription like Runna. No practical flashlight… that’s the feature I use most often on Garmin :) I really wish I could have liked the Apple Watch, but it just doesn’t work for me. Now, to balance things out a bit, the Apple Watch Ultra is superior in terms of its communication capabilities, thanks to the security offered by the high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and irregular heartbeat alarms. The haptic alarm is nice, but it doesn’t wake me up every time. In daily life, we’re more connected; it’s easier to reply to a message on the fly. But we’re also interrupted more often.
