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

Does the band locking mechanism wear down?

I´ve had Apple Watches since 2016 (AW2, AW5, AW8, and now AW11). Never had any issues with wearing of the locking mechanism whatsoever. More than 20 bands, Apple and non-Apple.

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

AWU3 with Milanese band in black

My new AWU3 is in black as well…coming from a black AW8. Definitely more grey*, but I like it. Can’t comment on the scratch nature yet, although the Apple Store employee at pickup yesterday I was chatting with while waiting for the watch to be brought out appeared surprised at how “good” my AW8 look

Goodbye Apple Watch!

Just don’t make the same mistake as me. I started off with an AW S8, then the 265, then back to the S8, then another 265 and now the AWU2… and here I am wanting a 970. At first, I found the UI/UX pretty shocking on the Garmin after years of being entrenched in the Apple ecosystem but it’s just so mu

Yet another Garmin to AWU3

I’m in the same boat. I went from an AW8 to a Garmin Fenix 8, then back to an AWU3. I was happy I experienced the Fenix for about 3 months (thank you REI for a 90 day return policy!) but I realized I’m not THAT guy….I don’t need the massive battery life, I don’t disappear into the wilderness for day

Weekly Buying/trading/selling advice, pre-orders and shipping Megathread

Hello, I want to buy Apple Watch, my needs nothing special - timers, alarms, read texts, sleep track, other activities like strava for driving bicycle and so on. Which Watch will suit me best? I can buy for retailers AW8 45MM for 170-150 Eur. is it worth? Or look for Series 9/10?

Got my Apple Watch Ultra 3 today, case, screen protector, or nothing at all?

I work a labor job and also need to clean my watch frequently due to various bodily fluid and chemical exposure. I had this same dilemma. Coming from an AW8 where I used a case over top, I decided on “naked” for my AWU3. Easier to clean, the materials are premium, scratch resistant, & nonreactive. I

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
