But you need to tell us which one you feel is more accurate! I don‘t know if Garmin is accurate and you’re cycling straight lines or if your cycling is all over the place and apple watch shows it :D

To me, the Apple Watch does pretty good for something NOT designed specifically to track sports via GPS. I wouldn’t consider the difference significant enough to worry about.

I have a Garmin Instinct Solar, and my wife has an Apple Watch 6. We go on daily walks in the afternoon and evening for a total of about 5 miles a day. We have been consistently starting and stopping our watches at the same point and time. I find that the difference between the two devices is roughly 0.01 miles after a 2-3 mile walk. Sometimes it’s the Garmin and sometimes it’s the Apple Watch that’s given a longer distance. I have been impressed with both devices accuracy.

GPS accuracy comparison of a Garmin Venu Sq (left) versus an Apple Watch Series 6 (right)

 Low, high, and current (live) rates are available on the phone app. The device reads the heart rate about every 5 minutes or when activity is detected (this feature can be changed.) 5. If the device is set to read real time, a notice suggests the battery could be drained faster

 I use that option and charge every two to three days with activity. 6. The customization of the device (some of which are downloaded separately) provide many options for seeing this data during a workout. Body Battery 1

 The body battery drains all day during activity. If one wants to recharge (relax,) the move feature will harass them to get up and move, which results in more drain. Not a good feature; it can be removed or ignored. Stress 1

 Calories 1. The calories report only gives weekly / monthly active calories. (Again if one has a daily burn goal, too bad for you.) 2

I've own 7 devices, 3 brands, love Polar but Garmin wins, here's why

I do want to be an Apple Watch fanboy but can we all just be honest about one thing? Apple has got to solve/fix the battery issue. Garmin’s new Epix 2 gets 6 days on a charge with an AMOLED screen. Come on Apple how about you at least split the difference and give us 3 days? 18 hours?

 Positives: This smartwatch is really nicely built, has a comfortable feeling while wearing day and night. You can download the connect IQ store app to purchase different watch faces for a really cheap price and can buy different watch bands through Amazon which is nice too. The other thing that I really like about this smartwatch is how super easy it was to pair with my android phone and I love the app. It is super easy to navigate and see all the awesome data that it provides

 The body battery also is not worth much because it's based on how much sleep I get and if that isn't accurate than the body battery isn't much use either. So basically I bought an expensive to me step counter and connection app with a couple other ok features. I will keep this watch only because I don't have any more money to get me something nicer and that might work better. I did end up buying this exact watch for one of my younger twin sisters for Christmas before I had a chance to really know the downfalls of it

I like the watch mainly bought it to help me track steps. Had an apple watch that bit the dust after long use so I can compare the two. For everyday use ( steps, time, faces, .

Garmin Venu. Garmins are great activity trackers that also do some smartwatch stuff OK. But that's alright for me, I want strong activity tracking. YMMV

Mi Band 5. Not a smart watch in the traditional sense, not even a good fitness tracker. But it tracks my sleep well enough and notifies me of things happening on my phone.

Withings Steel HR. I have the sapphire version with the blue/brown color combination.

The Steel HR does everything I want from a Smartwatch. It looks like a watch, it's not huge, I can read my notifications (although settings for display speed would be nice) and it can track steps/heartrate/sleep/sports.

The app is well done and quick. The bluetooth connection seldom drops and everything works as advertised. I owned a Fossil/Skagen Hybrid Smartwatch before and the Fossil app was much worse.

I use the Coros Apex PRO with mine (I'm a runner & the battery life is insanely amazing). 

The Facebook messenger notifications were relentless (it buzzed when I received a message, when I opened the bubble, or even when I opened the app). So, I simply turned those notifications off.

I only use the text & call notifications because everything else was just overwhelming/obnoxious. That's also because my Pixel was updated & the "new & improves bubbles" turned my notifications to shit.

Fossil Q Explorist Gen. 4; Fossil smartwatches are probably one of the closest things you can get to a Pixel Watch at this moment in time and they actually look like real watches too which is a plus.

Suunto 7.


WearOS smarts combined with Suunto fitness equals perfect watch for me.


Big, bright, and sharp display. Yet I get 48 hours battery life (although less if I do longer activities).


Suunto also have great support and update regularly. It was also the first watch to get the HMR2 update  :-)
