Koji pametni sat imate? Isplati li vam se?

Garmin vivoactive 5, prezadovoljna, baterija traje do 10 dana, 7 dana uz svakodnevno aktivno koristenje (npr ako sam svaki dan u teretani pa mjerim trening), dosta precizan u mjerenju sna, body battery tijekom dana, koraka, potrosenih kalorija itd. Kompatibilan sa iphoneom i app je jako jednostavna.

Google's Whoop competitor is here, Fitbit Air starts at $99

Yes, weird. My Garmin Vivoactive 5 with an AMOLED screen costs £170 and lasts 10 days. It probably has better data insights than this as well.

Has anyone here with ME/CFS actually found ANY relief from constant nervous system overactivation? I’m really struggling and would appreciate honest experiences

Ooo this is very interesting. I got the Garmin Vivoactive 5 about 4 months ago and have found it useful for reminding my “do things” brain that sometimes I just have to do more full on rest than I think I do. Like art requires concentration, which is orange. Playing music likewise, even if reclining

Megathread: Wearables, Symptom Trackers, Apps📱

I currently use Visible and a Garmin vivoactive 5. I use them for different things. Visible: I like that it's waterproof and I can see how tiring a shower is. I love thr pace points system so I can see how much energy I've already used in a day. I appreciate being able to tag activity on the HR grap

What are your experiences with wearable health trackers?

I use both visible and Garmin vivoactive 5 on the daily. I like visible because of the pace points system. It gives me a snapshot of how much I've done in a day, rather than just a HR graph. I also like that it's waterproof and I can shower with it. The symptom tracker is nice as well. The Garmin ha

Has anyone tried using vibration based alarms?

I have a Garmin Vivoactive 5 that I love. It's smart without making me Inspector Gadget, it helps me stay motivated to work out (it's primarily a fitness watch), but my favorite part is the vibrating alarm.

Oura data is terrible

I have a Garmin Vivoactive 5 and I love it. It tracks my sleep, my stress, my breathing rate, heart rate, steps and other exercises, my active minutes, body battery etc. I had a Fitbit before this, and the user interface for this Garmin is so much better. For the body battery it takes into account t

Buy Watch Ultra 3 or wait for Watch Ultra 4

Oh, it’s not going to effect my wallet. Last time I tried Garmin, Vivoactive 5, it was demotivating. And I don’t feel the need to spend hundreds of dollars to be demotivated again. :P

Which watch would you recommend?

I have a Garmin Vivoactive 5 (still offered for sale but it's now a slightly older model). It is not cheap, but it is one of the cheaper Garmin options ($250 USD) and you can do pretty much everything you need for beginner/casual running. For C25k, I use it to program my run/walk intervals and colle

FR255 worth in 2026? Vs. VA6?

The forerunner 255 is the better choice. Has all the features you need plus more. Even if you don't get into running, it still offers more features that you are asking for than the vivoactive 6. I had a vivoactive 5 and switched to a forerunner 165. Was not disappointed. I dont care for training sta
