Watch Series 11

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

Sadly, rep counting requires a lot of data and model training with said data that none of the sportswatch brands really seems to have available or done, not even Garmin. It's sad, because recognizing a set, the correct exercise and even number of reps works very accurately on an Apple Watch in my ex

AWU will provide you a longer battery life. I hike and I have it, and as a casual hiker I have never run out of battery. AW11 should be enough for you until this hobby gets serious. WorkOutDoors IS THE APP, Alltrails and others sucks for Apple Watch. If you like to plan the hikes, download the GPX f

Given the hardware release cadence I expect that AW11 will look exactly the same as AW10 and the only major hardware difference will be a significantly more powerful SoC to handle on-device Apple Intelligence. And, obviously, the new watch will include the new Apple modem. The only hardware change t

After being worried for 3 years about exactly this, I just got my Apple Watch last week.And honestly: I‘m pretty certain I won’t take it off anymore. I initially bought it to track my health (specifically my heart rates) because I’ve had some issues blacking out, feeling dizzy etc.I was worried I qu

Probably not, honestly. The best shot you have with an Apple Watch is the Ultra, but even that is not guaranteed. A Garmin is really what you need.

Really appreciate this—super helpful perspective. The Apple → Bevel → Apple Health openness vs. Garmin’s closed HRV flow is exactly what I was worried about, and your point about Bevel’s AI summaries/notifications saving you from graph-diving is clutch. Also the Garmin watches are so big, for my sma

Something is overkill only if price is an object. It's just like asking if something has "too much memory". There is no such thing as too much memory, unless cost is a factor. If cost is the determining factor, then the AW11 or AW10 are great watches that will do everything that you want it to do. I

Mine is 74% health. Bought it 1 month after release... almost only using for sport training and race (triathlon). The rest of the time, it was on the charger (that explains a lot, micro charge...). At the end, I had to turn off wifi / 4G because it was draining too much power and the watch would jus

I also have Fenix 8 and a AW8, and for training I prefer the Apple Watch because Garmin is to limited. For Weight Lifting I use Hevy, for Running Runna, for Hyrox Roxfit. The Build in Stuff on Garmin come not even close to these apps. And worst off all, that expensive Garmin gets no feature updates
