Looking for health/fitness wearables other than oura or visible

VivoActive 6 chiming in here! Honestly, it's something I wish I got sooner. While not perfect, if it does make the very rare wonky data claim, you can fix it (like manually adjusting when you actually woke up, for example.) I use mine for tracking steps, rough calories, sleep, HR, menstrual, and HRV

Laufuhr mit gutem Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gesucht

Ich hatte einige Garmin Modelle (auch teurere wie ne Fenix) und ne zeitlang auch eine Apple Watch, aber Coros bietet für mich das mit Abstand beste Erlebnis. Meine Pace 4 für unter 300€ ist besser als jede Smartwatch/Sportuhr, die ich je besessen habe. Die passt also perfekt in dein Budget und ist m

Ut2 splits way slower than my peers with similar / same 2k times

First of all, I suppose you have measured your heart rate multiple times and for longer pieces? My vivoactive 6 is at times wildly inaccurate while erging: sometimes it jumps for a few minutes to 170 or 180 when I know I am doing about 120), and then comes back on its own to the correct values.

Looking for health/fitness wearables other than oura or visible

i have a vivoactive 6 for dysautonomia, and i’d say kind of? there may be a way to circumvent this, but the standard alert settings have it to where it tells you if your HR has stayed over a certain threshold for ten minutes with no activity. for me it’s not super helpful, because i have shorter spi

Review of GrapheneOS after a month from a long time iOS user

I went with the Vivoactive 6. I was thinking about going with the Venu 4, but it was almost twice the price and it only offered a few things that I might use that the lower cost watches didn't have. So I didn't think it was worth it. So far, the Vivoactive 6 has done absolutely everything that I cou

Morning Updates suggested improvements

i considered a Garmin vivoactive 6 because of the better morning report, but ended up going with an amazfit active 3..... it's good, but the morning report is useless

Tips på träningsklockor?

Jag har en Garmin Vivoactive 6! Har inte testat den särskilt hårt ännu, men det känns som att den har alla funktioner jag kan tänkas behöva. Värt att veta kan vara att den saknar "riktig" elevation tracking, och att den inte har EKG. När jag valde klocka så vägde jag in tillverkaren ganska mycket, v

FR255 worth in 2026? Vs. VA6?

The forerunner 255 is the better choice. Has all the features you need plus more. Even if you don't get into running, it still offers more features that you are asking for than the vivoactive 6. I had a vivoactive 5 and switched to a forerunner 165. Was not disappointed. I dont care for training sta

Garmin 970 vs amazfit t rex pro 3

I've T-Rex 3, Amazfit Active 2 and Balance 2 XT. And yet, I still come back to my "Garmin Vivoactive 6 + 25$ no name chest strap" duo. If you care about metrics and coaching, Garmin is excellent for training and recovery. Amazfit is trying to be on Garmin level, but there's still so much to do.
