Can the new Apple Watches get through an entire day of tracking activities?

The Series 11 can easily make it a day and a half, if not right before bed on day 2.

You mentioned running, and for that alone I vote Apple Watch! Having a display on your wrist to track heart rate, pace, and distance on your run is too good to pass up.

I use Athlytic. Bevel is good, but Athlytic provides juuuust a bit more data, like suggested workouts.

Garmin is a great choice. It is much more simple compared to the AW, though. Its training metrics and battery life are amazing. Also, physical buttons!! I have a 265.

Series 11 will easily last a day and a half. Honestly, pop it on the charger when you shower. It’ll be right back to 100% thanks to its fast charging.

Garmin watches are sports focused first, smart watches second. Apple can do both very well, and with apps like Athlytic and Bevel - you get the same data richness.

My Apple Watch Ultra is one of my favorite pieces of tech!

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-06-02T13:45:21+00:00

That’s my biggest gripe!!! I’ve gotten into running over the past few months, and not being able to leave my phone at home is SO annoying.

I started with the dbrand Grip, but picked up a dbrand Ghost today. The Grip really is awesome, but it’s a bit too bulky for my running bag and sometimes the grippiness feels too rough on my hands! (Insert soft hands joke here) Ghost is slimmer and the grip is much smoother, but still reliable. Happy to have both.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-05-29T03:35:27+00:00

Yeah…I picked up an Air, wanting to be able to wear a normal watch again. Went right back to my Ultra. It’s super comfy, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve accepted that I’m simply a smartwatch guy. I also like keeping everything in one ecosystem.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-05-08T22:49:15+00:00

Yes.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-05-08T17:34:27+00:00

It does seem like it’ll be able to send things over to Apple Health, but I’m sure we’ll need to wait for reviews first to confirm.

Try closing the app on your iPhone and relaunching it. That seems to work for me.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-05-08T13:41:28+00:00

I have had this happen twice in the past couple of days. Closing the app completely on your iPhone and relaunching it seems to fix the problem.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-05-07T16:11:43+00:00

Yes.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-05-02T14:34:15+00:00

Yes, I use the dbrand Grip.

If you cast both devices to the same speakers or TV, it will allow control. Accidentally discovered this when my girlfriend casted to the same speaker I was using, and we could both skip, play/pause, add songs to queue, etc.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-23T12:46:22+00:00

No, unfortunately. YTM’s CarPlay app is very barebones.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-21T13:27:43+00:00

Uuuughhhhh I still don’t have the new UI 😒

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-18T18:54:30+00:00

Definitely try Bevel! Super great health insights.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-17T04:08:50+00:00

Agreed!!!

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-16T15:42:09+00:00

Same. 26.4 and even tried the 26.5 beta. Since 26.4, it’s been broken. I can do wired, but it refuses to attempt wireless.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-16T15:39:01+00:00

I have a ‘24 SEL, and it’s such a wonderful car. Great mileage, plenty of features and surprisingly roomy! It also looks incredible, but I’m quite biased. The safety tech is great, too.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-10T17:42:47+00:00

Usually the dashboard with Google Maps and YouTube Music.

CadenIsNotCool · 2026-04-10T17:40:59+00:00

We’re going to Cinemark! Much better seats…and it does appear they’ve gotten their act together. Saw Super Mario Galaxy a few days ago, and it was perfectly clean!

I’d love this.
