PSA the Visible app and band are worth it for heart rate tracking alone
If HR tracking is the primary purpose, a Garmin watch should be considered as an option as well, especially if money is tight! I opted for a Vivoactive 5 when I was deciding between them because the subscription cost of Visible would exceed the one-time cost of a Garmin watch before long.

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.

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

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

Best smartwatch for health + fitness (long battery, all-in-one tracking?)
I also have a Vivoactive 5 that I like a lot. There aren't really a lot of good aftermarket apps, watch faces, etc. on the app store, but that does mean I'm not constantly paying extra for the watch. Also, Garmin does have a subscription, but it just adds some AI features that aren't very necessary.

Garmin Uhr für sehr schmales Handgelenk?
Ich habe auch sehr schmale Handgelenke, ich muss die Armbänder i.d.R. modifizieren (kürzer schneiden, neues Loch reinmachen). Ich habe die kleine vivoactive 5, bin mit der sehr zufrieden. Zwar besitzt sie manche Features nicht, welche die laufspezifischeren Uhren von Garmin haben, beispielsweise die
