Health tracking devices e.g. venu4 garnim
I have a Garmin Fenix 8 51mm AMOLED. Love all the features, mainly the GPS and highly detailed mapping. I do not rely on it, but it does offer some cool health tracking options, some more reliable than others. With any of these watches, they act more as a flag raiser, definitely not a diagnosis make

Why is my battery so bad all of a sudden? Galaxy watch ultra, 2024 model.
I also have no idea, it's garbage. When I bought it, the battery lasted 3.5 days of regular use. After a month, it received an update and now it lasted 2.0 days. A month ago, it received the latest update and it only lasts 18 or 20 hours at the most. The solution I found to have 25 days or more of b

Garmin Fenix 7pro-8, Garmin Epix Pro or Suunto race 2
I was a Garmin Fenix user for years and recently switched from the Fenix 8 to the Vertical 2. Currently, I don't miss anything at all. The app is better in my opinion. There is less data, but the data that is there is truly relevant. The Fenix 8 51mm was much bulkier. The Vertical 2 is much more com

Back to MIP! Fenix 8 Solar
I don't know. Maybe I like the bright screen. I'm not going to the mountains or things like that. I bought the Garmin ecosystem, for health reasons: Index Scale, Index BPM and the Fenix 8 51mm. I have a Google Pixel Watch 4 45mm. I love it very much. Maybe the AMOLED screen makes the Fenix feel a li

New iOS 26.5 notification forwarding update, how does it work now?
In Garmin Fenix 8 51mm it’s all or no notifications. So basically as it was before, no option to choose per app.

Anyone own Garmin Smartwatch and Samsung Smartwatch? Torn between Fenix 8 and Samsung Watch 8 Classic
I have the Samsung Watch 5 Pro and Ultra AND the Garmin Fenix 8 51mm. There are a bunch of things that took some adjustment, but the battery life is keeping me on the Garmin side. The things I wish I could have from the Samsung, though, are the alarm sync with my phone, the automatic activity detect

iWatch for sleep only
There's no such thing as an iwatch. It's called an Apple watch. Which Apple watch are you talking about? Series 8, 9, 10, 11? SE3? SE2? Having 2 watches and one just for sleeping is waste of money as far as I'm concern. If you have the funds, go for it. I've slept with a Garmin Fenix 8 51MM watch in

Keep Balance 2 or not?
Most workouts I have Garmin on wrist and Helio strap on bicep. I waffle back and forth between watches for daily. Right now I am working on a Garmin Instinct 3 Tactical 50mm AMOLED review, so that is on my wrist rn. For just chilling and general use when I am not in wearables review hell, I usually
