Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Garmin

Já tive AW8, AW ultra e ultra 2 bem como Edge 2 e agora Fênix 8. De longe Garmin ganha. Com Apple vais ter que pagar pôr tudo, queres uma APP melhor para monitorizar sono? Paga. Queres APP para ver stess e HRV? Paga. Queres coach dê corrida? Paga . Acabava por pagar mais de 20 euros pôr mês só por s

Polar, still Polar in 2026

I’ve used a wide range of polar devices (starting with the M21 or M51, FT80, Vantage V and many many more). I have used three of their platforms. At first their desktop software (Polar precision performance ?, I remember It had lots of analysis options, but a looong time ago), then personal trainer

Was macht mehr sinn: Strava, Laufuhr und/oder Brustgurt?

Apple Watch 11 + Coros Oberarm Pulsmesser. Wegen Akkulaufzeit der Watch braucht man sich keine Gedanken machen. Selbst mit meiner AW8 konnte ich Marathon laufen und hatte noch genug Akku übrig. Hab lange Zeit den polar H10 Brustgurt genutzt allerdings immer wieder mit Aussetzer zu kämpfen gehabt und

AWU to Instinct 3

I did exactly the same a few months ago. From AW8 to Instinct 3 Solar. For me, it has been a crazy game changer not having to worry about battery life all the time. Whenever Apple reaches 1 week of battery life, I will consider going back - but there's no hope for that as it is now. Their priorities

Will the Apple Watch series 12 get a new chipset?

I think yes. Current s9-10 based on tsmc N4 and shares same architecture with a16 bionic, which was bad i think especially in power efficiency. And s12 will be based on a19 probably, which is very good in terms of efficiency and have much faster e-cores (which are used in apple watch), 70% faster GP

Training for a marathon in a year. Currently have an Apple Watch S5. Worth getting a Garmin or Coros now?

I think you should get a Coros right now, because it gives you way more accurate pace. Apple Watch always shows a slightly higher pace, which will lead to disappointment on race day when you realise your 5:40/km pace is actually more a 5:45 to 5:50 pace and your goal is a bit harder than you though.

Apple Watch or Garmin? My  watches (s5 s6) are too old now I guess, loading the app takes forever, if I were to upgrade which path would you recommend?

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

Beta Testers Wanted! - PowerGlass – Intelligent Battery Analytics

Got the app. Quite good, but I would appreciate both remaining time and remaining % of battery. Now I can choose only one of them (Power Glass od Apple widget). Also, font size (AW8, Infograph face, left lower corner complication) is quite big, so it does not fit perfectly with the face design. Othe

Čo vás drží stále u značky Apple a naopak čo vás núti prejsť na Android?

Ja som ok s uplne vsetkym okrem hodiniek. Pred rokom som zacala behat, predtym som jazdila enduro, teraz cestak (na ten mam wahoo) a seriozne zvazujem prechod na Garminy. Mam AW8 a ano, ta vydrz baterie ma nici. Jedine, co ma odradza, je dalsi system. Pri Apple produktoch my vyhovuje ten ekosystem,

About Smartwatch

I’ve been swimming with Apple Watches for over 5 years, never had any issues. I’m currently using the AW8 and used to have the AW5, which I only replaced because the battery was more dead than alive. Frankly, I don’t see the point in buying a separate watch just for swimming. Sounds way too complica
