I recently got a Garmin Fenix 6X, and while I was duly blown away by the fitness features, one thing I DIDN'T expect was how good the Garmin was a smartwatch device. I'm not talking about super deep integration with my phone or even CIQ apps, but some of the basics just blow "traditional" smart watches out of the water.

 Hopefully at some point I step up my game to a point that I'll use all the features and I do hope that with firmware updates the vibration and heart rate tracking become a little more consistent.

 This happens often enough to be concerning, especially considering how much I paid for the device. Another complaint I have is whilek try to use the breathing app, I constantly am missing vibrations for my breathing timer because the vibration just isn't strong enough. I'd I want to use it effectively I have to actually watch my watch face to tell me when to breath, hold breath, etc, kind of defeating the whole purpose of the exercise which is to focus on breathing. Again, this wouldn't be that concerning if I hadn't spent so much money on this

 I'd I want to use it effectively I have to actually watch my watch face to tell me when to breath, hold breath, etc, kind of defeating the whole purpose of the exercise which is to focus on breathing. Again, this wouldn't be that concerning if I hadn't spent so much money on this. When I purchased this device it was with the understanding that the premium price that I was paying was for THE smart/activity tracking experience to end all experiences. On cheaper devices these inconsistencies would be overlooked but at this price point it's unacceptable

  I do love the device even with my several concerns and don't have buyer's remorse per se, but I definitely could have opted for a cheaper device given what I need it for. Just make sure you really need this and check out their other devices before jumping on this one. Hopefully at some point I step up my game to a point that I'll use all the features and I do hope that with firmware updates the vibration and heart rate tracking become a little more consistent.

Only Buy if You Really Need All the Options

I remember being so excited for Wear OS, back when it was Android Wear, about 6-7 years ago.

I got a Huawei Wear and thought it was pretty cool. Worked well. Then the 2.1 or whatever update came and fucked it. It never really got back up to the quality it had before. Eventually I noticed mine dying in 2-3 hours and just upgraded to a Garmin Fenix 6X.

I _wanted_ to like wear. I _tried_ to like wear. And Google did everything they could to stop me

As a Sony Smartwatch user many years ago I feel that could have gone somewhere if they hadn't given up, the customisable interface built out of drag and drop widgets and longish battery life for its time meant I could control my music, see basic weather info and more from my normal homescreen.

  


It just lacked proper WhatsApp and newer app support in the end which is what drew me to my Fossil Q Explorist and I haven't seen anything to make me want to jump away from it yet, it lacks a heart rate sensor but it would be a novelty for me.

I'm a weird person, but i only have two issues with WearOS, one is the slow boot and the first 10 minutes after the boot where my ticwatch pro is basically useless.
And that is something that would be hard if not impossible to fix and i can live with that, because after that the watch becomes fast and responsive to use.

But the other issue is so easy to fix that it hurts, heck given the access and permissions. Even i (a person with zero coding experience) could fix the issue under a hour.
And that issue is that the Google Pay on WearOS is still locked behind that geoblock.

I have looked around and asked from my bank if this is something to do with contracts between banks and Google or some weird laws preventing Google from just giving users both the phone and watch versions of Google Pay at the same time.

But what i have gathered, this is all 100% done by Google themselves and laws and contracts have nothing to do with this.

Yes by running my own USA proxy server on Google cloud platform, i have had zero issues and it feels almost like Google pay had actually been released here in Finland on watches too.
But there is now still that huge barrier of first starting up that Ubuntu clud session in that USA cloud machine, and then the many sudo_app commands and poking around configuration files in terminal.

Could anyone imagine some not tech savvy person to go and do all that, just to get that promised Google Pay functionality on their watch. Or would they rather just take that watch back to the store and get something else instead.

At the moment only thing that keeps WearOS in the game even a little bit, is that stupid way how Apple doesn't just release some  Apple watch companion app on Android.

If Apple watch would work with Android, WearOS would be death in a week.

Not that i would ever buy anything made by Apple, but the way WearOS is currently. Apple Watch would destroy WearOS completely, if Android users could get one too.

Are there any non-circular smartwatches that are good right now? The closest I could find was Oppo watch but so many people complain about the poor battery on it I'm not sure if I want it. Ideally it should last a minimum of 2 days so I can track my sleep at night

Wear OS is making app sideloading much more difficult

 I really dislike carrying my phone everywhere, so this was a must. While other Garmin models also offer this feature, what made me buy the Fenix was battery life, button control (I dislike touch screens on watches) and the solid feel of the watch. Not to mention the default watch face is gorgeous. I also like the ability to customize power modes or to put it into power saving mode very quickly

Exceeded my expectations

Hi quality but sub par User Interface

 when it died (pool swimming, and it was supposed to be waterproof), I got a Garmin Fenix 6X to replace it... now FitBits seem like kids toys to me

My first Smartwstch was a FitBit Ionic... I found their software frustrating if nothing else... when it died (pool swimming, and it was supposed to be waterproof), I got a Garmin Fenix 6X to replace it... now FitBits seem like kids toys to me... I am investing in more Garmin gear - would love a set of the new Rally pedals and a 1030+ computer too, but happy with the watch & sensors for now...

Similar thing here! Went from a Fitbit Ionic (sold it when they brought out the premium services) to a Samsung Active 2 (Really liked it but lacked a lot of fitness tracking features. Also battery sucked!), To my Venu 2.

Absolutely love my Venu 2. Had no complaints what so ever other than the strap gives me a little sore red patch after wearing it for a few days.

Similar here too. Went from an ionic last year that died on a run (50% battery in an hour and half) and it pissed me off enough to try a Garmin.

Got a 245 and mind was blown. Better battery, battery stats, better GPS and coach programmes. And no "premium" subscription!

I never had a FitBit but a few people I worked with said that they died. My first was a Forerunner 610 which was like wearing a brick on your wrist (weight was about 95 grams).  I have  Fenix 5+ and love it. I would like a 6 or 7 but it's hard to justify as this thing feels like it could last forever.

Gone are the stupid, annoying, and distracting social/"premium" aspects.

I get a great watch with accurate heartbeat monitoring (confirmed by my own Pulse Ox And chest strap), Multiple free watch faces, a nice and responsive app, and a ton more exercise profiles.

Bless you Garmin. I might now get a chest strap
