Every time they say “But you need to charge it…” - this how I imagine Garmin users
I switched from a series 5 AW to a Garmin Venu 3 and the week long battery wasn’t worth the hassle of losing the features of an Apple Watch. I still took it off to shower and often would put it on the charger during that time anyways because otherwise I would just forget and it would wind up in low

Apple Watch faces outshined by rando’s on Facer, but…
If you like these, you’d probably love a Garmin device. The Connect IQ store is filled with data heavy faces, tons of them free as well. I don’t think I could go back (previously had a Venu 2) because I really love the tight integration, but I miss the battery life! The Venu 3 has tempted me, but I

Saved 500€ with the GT 6 Pro… but now I understand where it went
If you care about exercise and do sports, Garmin is the way to go. You can get Venu 3 or Vivoactive 5/6 or Forerunner 255/965 for not too much money. Or maybe the Instinct 3. For Huawei, it looks nice, and it's enough, but for nothing serious. I was a user of Huawei Watch GT3 and I was happy, until

This didn’t go as planned
I did the opposite: I switched from a Garmin Venu3, whose connected features I didn't use (they didn't work well and I didn't miss them), to my Apple Watch. I'm not a serious athlete—I walk, use the elliptical, and hike. I don't miss anything compared to Garmin; I find the software much more user-fr

Left Garmin for Coros
I just moved from a Garmin Venu 3 to Coros Apex 4. I stared having issues with my Garmin not syncing any data except my activity to the Connect app. I even tried troubleshooting by doing a wired sync with the janky macOS software. After much troubleshooting I knew I needed a new device and was looki

Change from Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 to Garmin Venu 4?
I have the Garmin Venu 3. I never use it. I don't enjoy the OS like the Galaxy.

Thinking about selling my ultra 3 and getting an amazfit active 2 or 3 with sapphire
That's the idea...I got an Amazfit Active 2 and love the size and looks of the watch...much better interface, better at being a smartwatch than my Garmin venu 3...but when it comes to data measurements and making sense of that data, Garmin is way ahead... Garmin application interface sucks, needs tw

For the ones that have used a Garmin Watch, what made you come back to Apple Watch?
Je voulais une Apple Watch mais je n’avais pas d’iPhone. Je me suis acheté une Garmin Venu 3. Je l’adorais. Enfin je croyais. Je n’utilisais pas ses fonctions intelligentes car la montre ne restait pas connectée au Bluetooth si je m’éloignais de mon téléphone de quelques mètres. Parfois elle se deju

Exercise Trackers - Apple Watch, Fitbit, Etc?
Agreed with all the other garmin comments. I’m already on my phone too much, so Apple Watch wasn’t really interesting to me, plus the battery life was a huge deterrent. I wanted something specific for health and fitness metrics rather than all the phone related things. I have a garmin venu3s, it has

Huawei Watch 5 vs Garmin Forerunner 265 – Which one is better for workouts, health tracking, and daily use?
You can’t see the whole picture. I’ve owned many Garmin watches since 2017, as well as some newer Huawei models. The latest Garmin OHR is very good and, in my experience, performs better than Huawei in almost every scenario. For example, I currently have both the Venu 3 and the Huawei Watch Fit 3, a
