Which Apple Watch do you have? My SE is less than accurate.

I liked my gen 1 SE, but when I actually got into slightly regular running I realised its limitations (hopeless battery and GPS, would sometimes miss tracking 10% of a Parkrun to the point of thinking that I’d levitated across a lake), switched to a Garmin and never looked back. I’m not entirely sure what the target customer for the AW is at this point

The SE’s GPS is worthless. It would sometimes miss tracking 10% of a Parkrun to the point of thinking that I’d levitated across a lake. I completely lost trust in it being able to track accurately even in open fields. I switched to a Garmin and it actually does the basic job it’s supposed to do.

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
