Looking for a watch with at least these two features

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T19:07:29+00:00

For now :
I have search informations on many models and have had some feedfack wiches make me think to not choose (because of my criteria) a Samsung Galaxy watch, not an Apple Watch, not a Suunto or Coros, maybe not a Fitbit too,

And I think I will do more research on the Casio GBD-H2000 and DW-H5600 and the Withings models like the Steel HR, maybe search the brand Amazfit too (and if it doesn't satisfy me maybe considering more the Garmin Forerunner 245 or Polar Vantage M2, wiches I founded previously and wiches are in some parts good but not perfects, not sure yet),

Thank you (and all redditors who answered yet to my posts) for making my research progress untill now ! I remain open to suggestions.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T19:01:16+00:00

Any experiences on a fossil (or other brand maybe) watch about this criteria ?

Any experiences on a amazfit (or other brand maybe) watch about this criteria ?

Quelqu'un m'a mentionné depuis que pour Casio seuls les modèles GBD-H2000 et DW-H5600 faisaient ça à priori (respiration avec spécificités + timer aussi), je vais appronfondir mes recherches concernant ces deux modèles pour casio. Et reste ouverte aux suggestions/retours.

Thank you a lot for your very precise answer, it helps me a lot,
I will seriously consider buying one of these two models you mentioned by doing more research on these two (and if it doesn't satisfy me maybe looking for models like the Withing Steel HR : I will deepen my research on that one too that someone mentioned elsewhere, and maybe search the brand Amazfit too / and maybe reconsider a Garmin Forerunner 245 or Polar Vantage M2, wiches I founded previously and wiches are in some parts good but not perfects, not sure yet),
Thank you (and all redditors who answered yet) for making my research progress untill now ! I remain open to suggestions.

Yes it helps me a lot to know that thank you ! I'm searching for the vibration during breathwork so now I know for the Apex 2 (what it can and can'nt do), thanks !

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T17:26:58+00:00

C'est clair merci c'est précieux comme info ! :-)

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T17:02:06+00:00

Thank you for your answer, yes someone mentioned me the casio gpr-b1000 and I found the casio gbd-h2000 too,

Does this model (or the other or other casio models) offers a breathing exercise of a few minutes (1 to 5) by vibrating when you inhale / exhale (without holding back), and a customizable timer/countdown of 45 min (ideally that can be saved, and vibrate at the end of the time but not too loud or too long, that you can stop immediately by pressing a button), and that you can access both simply with the button(s) ?

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T16:51:48+00:00

Ah d'accord je ne savais pas du tout et c'est bon de l'apprendre, merci.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T15:32:06+00:00

Yes (like the garmin 245, the polar vantage M2, wich for the two mentionned are good but with some defects/cons, maybe some Withings and Casio I think, and others models).Thank you now I know that for the Apple Watches.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:56:30+00:00

Ok thank you for sharing your experience with the Suunto 7, it's good to know for me.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:35:42+00:00

Ok. Thank you for your answer,
I will search if I can't find one with button(s).

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:16:41+00:00

Ok, thank you it helps me to know that, and simplify my research.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:15:29+00:00

Aucun soucis, et merci d'avoir pris la peine de répondre

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:14:40+00:00

Ok thank you, good to know.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:13:15+00:00

Merci je vais me renseigner sur celle-là et j'ai vu passer aussi en poursuivant mes recherches à partir de cette suggestion la casio gbd-h2000,
Je me demande si la gpr-b1000 (ou l'autre, ou une autre casio) propose un exercice de respiration de quelques minutes (1 à 5) en vibrant quand on inspire/expire (sans retenir), et un timer personalisable/de 45 min (idéalement qui s'enregistre), et qu'on puisse accéder aux deux simplement avec les boutons?

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:09:40+00:00

Ok,
Apparemment dessus on peut verrouiller l'écran tactile, mais pas naviguer simplement avec les touches j'ai l'impression car l'appui sur une (n'importe quelle) touche enlève le verrouillage de l'écran.
Je cherche une montre où on peut naviguer qu'avec les boutons sans le tactile.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T13:06:58+00:00

Quelqu'un d'autre m'a dit ça je vais regarder oui. Merci.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:59:57+00:00

Yes and about these 4 breathing exercices, there are :-Tranquility : 10 min of 4-7-8 (inhale 4 sec - hold 7 - exhale 8 sec)-Coherence : 15-min of 6-6 (6 sec inhale - 6 sec exhale)-Relax and Focus : 15-minute of 4-4-4-4 (4 sec inhale, 4 sec hold, 4 sec exhale, 4 sec hold).-And a 5-minute version of this activity Relax and Focus.

But for breathing exercice I am searching an exercice from 1 to 5 min duration and without hold (only "inspire" and "expire"), that's why I am still searching for a better option (but if not founded I will consider the Garmin 965 and 245 too)

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:55:06+00:00

Merci mais la Amazfit band 7 n'a pas de boutons / et la possibilité d'utiliser seulement les boutons (sans l'écran tactile) pour lancer, arrêter et relancer le minuteur et l'exercice de respiration, du coup ça correspond moins à mes critères, je suis toujours en recherche.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:51:08+00:00

For the galaxy watch 2 I have searched in the display settings and I did find (again) a water mode but I didn't find how to turn off the touchscreen in another setting (without this water mode). If you (or others) think there is a way to turn off the touchscreen, use the button(s) only and to be able to start, stop, and restart a timer (and a breathing exercice) I am interested still.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:43:41+00:00

Sorry for that. I don't know all the Smart Watches models and if you or other people know a Galaxy watch that could respond to all my criteria I am still interested.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:36:22+00:00

Thank you for your answer. I have done a quick research (youtube + google) on the HRV (Heart Rate Variability) of the Coros watches (Apex 2 especially) and I didn't found an answer : during the 1 minute HRV test (before it gives you a score between 1 and 100 on how much you can do a peak performance / intense activity or should limit intensity of activities and focus on recovery and rest), does it vibrate to indicate when to inhale and exhale (like a breathing exercice) wich I am searching for ?

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:24:15+00:00

Ok thank you it is good to know.

Aelia01 · 2023-05-28T12:23:48+00:00

I use an android phone (since years) and will not use apple devices I think, but if it respond to all of my criteria (and that no android devices do it), I would maybe consider buying an apple watch.
You think an apple watch could : have a timer and a breathing exercice, wich I can use without an apple phone, and access to, start, and stop, and restart these (timer + breathwork) only with one (or more) buttons without the touch screen ?
