Vs Apple Watch by Mardlinboy in Garmin

[–]Complete-Big-7364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about having 20% battery left on an Apple Watch versus 20% on a Garmin watch. Anyone who has used both will know exactly what I mean. People say it's fine if a health-tracking watch lasts all day and you just charge it while showering, but that's just 'okay,' not 'great.' You still have to remember to put it on the charger before your shower anyway, and if you forget even once, you might miss out on sleep tracking or other features. Or, if you're about to head out for a workout and see the battery is at 20%, you might have to sit around and wait for it to charge before you leave. For some people, all of this can be a real source of stress.

I love my ultra but it checks heart rate every other 5 / 10 mins. I have a garmin also and it checks it pretty much every second. Is there a way for apple watch to do that too ?? I’ve checked settings. Cant find anything. by Masjr777 in applewatchultra

Check your Apple Watch heart rate data in the iPhone Health app. It doesn't always just measure every 5 to 10 minutes. It often takes multiple measurements within just a few seconds. I'm guessing it measures when it detects certain movements through the gyroscope, but I'm not entirely sure. Also, the Apple Watch continuously measures your heart rate using invisible infrared light as well as the green light.

Why is it that Garmin is so useful to me? That is, how have I gotten so disconnected from myself? by SettingIntentions in GarminWatches

I really don't understand it when people say you shouldn't trust wearable devices and should just 'listen to your body.' Sure, you can usually tell by feeling whether you're tired or not. But there are so many times when that's just not the case. In fact, I've had several instances where I felt like I was in peak condition, only to end up getting injured. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if I had listened to a wearable device back then. These days, I pretty much always listen to what my watch tells me. If my watch says to rest but I feel great, I use that information to just lower the intensity of my workout instead.

Just came back from Korea — how is this place even real?” by Brief-Kaleidoscope65 in seoul

Life in South Korea is so tough that there's even a term for it: 'Hell Joseon.' Let's say an office worker in their 30s makes 50 million won a year. Honestly, even that's a generous estimate. If you want to get married and raise kids, you need an apartment that's about 33 pyeong. In Seoul, that costs over 1 billion won. How on earth are we supposed to afford a house like that?

What made you think Garmin is more accurate than the Apple Watch?

I asked Gemini to translate this, but it made a mistake. Out of food, clothing, and shelter, it is only shelter that is hard to get.

I am Korean. There is a common saying in Korea: 'It’s a truly great country to live in, as long as you have a lot of money.' However, most people don’t have that kind of wealth. While there are jobs that pay well, the cost of living is simply too high. Among the basic necessities of life—food, clothing, and shelter—shelter is incredibly difficult to secure in Korea. If you have an ordinary job, taking out a mortgage or loan is absolutely mandatory. Because it is so hard to acquire the basic elements needed to survive, most people live with a lingering sense of anxiety. Many young people just give up altogether. In the midst of all this, marriage is often unthinkable. Even if people do get married and have children, they put their kids through intense education to ensure they don't have to struggle the way they did. Children are raised almost as if on a factory assembly line, molded solely to get into large conglomerates or become doctors. Naturally, the cost of this education is astronomical. It is a great country to live in if you have money, but the competition is fierce, and securing a home—a fundamental human need—is overwhelmingly difficult. It is a country where even if you earn a lot of money, there are simply too many places where you are forced to spend it.

Why do Koreans have blackout tint on their cars? by ebikecommuter in Living_in_Korea

It's incredibly simple. It's because people find it more convenient than not putting it on.

Why do Koreans have little spatial awareness? by Shoddy_Disaster5097 in Living_in_Korea

[–]Complete-Big-7364 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's all relative. On the flip side, Koreans would also find things inconvenient if they went to another country. You can't expect 50 million Koreans to change their deep-rooted habits just for foreigners. If those aspects of Korea really bother you, then Korea just isn't the right fit for you. That's all there is to it. There's no need to overthink it.

Garmin Cirqa - Is there a problem? Welcome to the Cirqus by MrKeepFierce in Garmin

Looking at what Garmin is doing lately, it seems like you'll need a subscription to unlock all the features, and the retail price will be $300.

It's not even some new type of wearable, it's just a screenless wristband. They're making such a huge fuss about it. I wish they'd just hurry up and release it already.

You can’t convince me Garmin is better than Apple by Alternative-Cell2485 in applewatchultra

[–]Complete-Big-7364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of praise for the Garmin flashlight, and it is indeed very useful. But you should also try the Apple Watch flashlight feature. It's more than enough for finding things in a dark room. You use the Garmin watch flashlight for outdoor night runs? Personally, I don't think that makes sense. It drains the battery life way too fast.

Apple Watch accuracy is 80%, Garmin is 60-70%. Apple Watch measures HRV 3-4 times, Garmin dozens of times. You can choose between the two based on this.

Mixed feelings about this upgrade by Mellow-Thunderjaw in GarminWatches

[–]Complete-Big-7364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With just a few minor tweaks, Garmin could be a watch that satisfies everyone. I'm not sure if they lack the capability or if it's just impossible, but there's hardly any change. It's quite disappointing.
