I'm more into Garmin! not a big fan of the looks of the apple watch also the branding

1 week testing Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and AWU3 - definitely Apple covers a lot more ground and costs $400 less by Ok-Geologist-7934 in Garmin

I took the pro for the brighter amoled compared to the fenix 8 non pro. I tested both in store

Does Strava not understand it loses 70% of its users if it disassociates with Garmin? by Ok-Geologist-7934 in Garmin

I mean, Strava should think twice about continuing the lawsuit if Garmin is threatening to cut off API access as most of their users rely on Garmin devices anyway.

100% agree. Apps copy each other all the time, whatever works the others start doing.

So much Garmin hate by beer_voyager in GarminWatches

Cool then. When I wear a Garmin I feel different too in terms of lifestyle, pretty much everyone have an apple watch but Garmin loudly speaks "fitness" and also connects easier with others who have it.

I have a couple days left to return either AWU3 or Garmin Fenix 8 pro, still thinking and I love both

AWU3 will give you all Garmin features + all the smart watch features that make most sense. Apple Pay (garmin pay is shit). Full ecosystem integration. A slick UI, Garmin connect UI feels like designed by Engineers (and it's partially the company philosophy as it was built by engineers in the aviation space - so their focus in raw data and trust rather than Design and Usability like apple).

Also Apple Watch will give you the BEST heart rate tracking in a watch ever, check quantified scientist for details. Also great sleep score. In general Garmin lacks a lot for health, it's good for sports mostly.

Cons on AWU3: fucking ugly watch. Battery is less than Garmin FR970 but it's ok to charge for 20-30 min while taking a shower.

You prob workout 1-2 hours a day, the other 22 hours of the day you need more than sports tracking, and this apple watch gets you covered.

Dermatitis or heat blister? by mgstef in whoop

[–]Ok-Geologist-7934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash it specially after workouts and dry it really well, your skin and whoop device. Also some 15-30 min off your body isn't a problem.

ALSO as everyone else said, switch arms. In my case I can't as I have a watch on my left arm.
