my se3 last 24hrs+ NO NEED to use low power mode im very impressed
Overkill? Apple is an overkill on price, meaning it is underkill on value. I got an SE and later stopped using it once i started using forerunner 165 garmin (which is ugly but super functional)
Okay naman siya for working out. Jowa ko naka-SE3. Charges it siguro once every 1.5 days, take note that she doesn't use it to track any workouts. I'd be wary sa battery life niya when doing long runs.
If you see yourself hating having to charge your watch everyday, Apple Watch is out of the options. Looks like main use-case mo ay para sa physical activities, I say Garmin.
Based on OP's choices, it seems Ultra is out of the budget and a little extreme for their use-case
i do all of that with my Apple Watch SE 3, i cant complain
I use an apple watch and garmin. Short review Apple is a kickass smart watch and a good Fitness watch Garmin is a kickass fitness watch but a dumb smart watch (I am in the apple ecosystem) My apple watch is 3 or 4 years old now. SE first gen battery %67. While doing my half marathon, I was anxious the whole time I will run out of battery before I finish the race. If you do swimming, Garmin is your choice - with apple over one year the corners get hit and that will allow water to get in. Garmin 265 is one year old and yet to face such issues. Plus the physical buttons make it convenient to operate. And the battery life is amazing. I charge the garmin once a week vs apple watch currently at twice a day.
Apple Watch syncs with My FitnessPal and Loseit- I’ve used both. The watch is available in a lower cost version called the SE which is around 225 new or you can get reconditioned ones for less. So you don’t have to plunk down a thousand dollars to get one. I got the SE when I gave up on Fitbit for ask the reasons you are. Really love my Apple Watch and My Fitness Pal dynamic duo!
