Which Smartwatch should I choose between the amazfit balance 2, the garmin fr 165 and the fr 255

I tested Garmin Epix 2 Pro and the Balance 2 for a month for running and sleeping. I decided to keep the balance and sold the Garmin. Garmin app is really bad, not intuitive at all, hard to find things, etc. Zepp is more intuitive. Still need some work on the algorithms but it works just fine. balan

Playing with an average of 170 bpm throughout a set. Should I be worried?

Smart watches wrist HR sensors can be very unreliable especially when shock is involved. Are right handed and wearing the watch on your left wrists but have a 2 handed backhand ? That might be enough to throw off the readings. Being a keen cyclist as a well as playing tennis - only light hitting wit

Feedback on a Fenix E

Im on the same boat. Fenix 8 (800) is double the cost of a fenix e(390). And the Epix pro gen 2 is 499! Im on FR 255 too. Could it happen that the Epix pro gen 2 will never get the "newer" features as it wont be getting the new UI? That said, im looking for a FR255 replacement with AMOLED and Maps.

Is buying a Garmin GPSMAP actually worth it?

I had an epix 2 and loved it for hikes but... the first one had a faulty screen, then the replacement died the instant I went into water. The refund process was so awful that I just gave up and haven't had one since. Non of this should put you off though, this was all to do with buying off amazon. W
