Current Apple Ecosystem Setup

My current setup is based on my preference (I have small hands and ear holes so I didn’t get the max version of each item)

  1. iPhone 16 Pro - my main phone, the photo and video are really good even in raw shots

  2. AirPods Gen 3 - The music quality of these earphones is good. I use it for music and in my

Visible band worth it?

Personally, yes I’ve found that having something to track my HR to be helpful. I do have an Apple Watch, but an older SE version (~$200). There are cheaper options - Garmin, Fitbit etc that can do the same if you’re concerned about the cost. I don’t have personal experience with other options, but c

QUEM ESTÁ CERTO? QUEM ESTÁ ERRADO?

tem um estudo comparando os relógios inteligentes em termos de precisão em cada categoria, eu lembro que o apple watch não tinha um bom índice pra contar calorias, sempre contava muito acima, mas era muito bom em monitoramento cardíaco, top 1 se não me engano. numa performance geral, acho que era os

What’s your most-used Apple Watch feature that you thought you’d never use?

I had bought an Apple Watch SE back in the fall of 2024; my previous watch, got during lockdown, was my buddy, but the damned battery life always made me anxious that it was gonna dieeee when I wasn't finished with my day yet! So I wasn't tracking sleep, because it was on the charger. Thanks to Redd

Coros Pace 4 x Garmin FR 165

From my point of view the Pace4 > 165. I don't really understand why to have two watches so similar. If you want relevant health data I think the best is Apple Watch. A Coros Pace4 + Apple Watch SE 3 combo would be more relevant (provided you are on iOS), otherwise Pixel Watch on Android. De

QUEM ESTÁ CERTO? QUEM ESTÁ ERRADO?

Smartwatchs em geral são horríveis pra medir gasto calórico, e a esteira só usa uma métrica pré-programada, então pra calorias, os dois são uma merda, só da pra ter uma base quando gasta mais ou menos, mas nunca as calorias exatas. Agora em relação a aferir os batimentos, o Apple Watch é um dos melh

Diabetic shock?

Time to get him his own phone. Mine uses an iPhone SE then an Apple Watch to quickly see her numbers. G7 can direct connect to an Apple Watch but can be spotty and loses the follow functionality so best to go the phone route then add a smart watch to act as a display.

Thoughts from someone who initially didn't think he needed an Apple Watch (to help future undecided folks)

Disclaimer: I am sure everything here could apply to Android watches too but I am in the Apple ecosystem so I can only speak to Apple Watch.

I like tech/toys so I always liked the idea of getting an Apple Watch but I never saw use/need/value.

My Mom has a Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (44mm) but she didn

Apple Watch 11, or wait?

I personally recently chose SE 3 > AW 11. That's enough for me as the main use for an apple watch for me is to track my workouts. It also achieves the health tracking (minus the ECG and Blood Oxygen on the AW 11), but I also have an oura so that fills the gap. SE 3 vs AW 11 battery life is also very

Apple Watch overstate my sleep

Since September, my watch has been grossly overstating my sleep. I think it started with WatchOS 11.0. I didn’t notice it for a while because of extreme jet lag (12 time zones) and COVID which disrupted my sleep patterns.

In particular, it thinks I’m asleep when I definitely am not. In this exam
