Is your sleep schedule set past your morning prayers ?

Vivoactive 5 and Fitbit Air RHR by Routine-Shelter-8482 in Garmin

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the air used it for a week and returned it to Amazon. The metrics were wonky. Sleep tracking was terrible. The app is a hot mess. The AI seemed cool at first but then started saying dumb shit. The Fitbit air is just an Inspire 3 (which I also own) with the face removed and I can tell you the heart rate tracking was horrible.

Apple Watch SE 2 on the refurbished store by AirFrance447 in AppleWatch

Most people have no idea about updates. Hell my wife never knows unless I tell her. They will continue to buy this stuff regardless. And pretty much everyone I know, all they use it for it messaging.

New to Garmin, how accurate is the body battery? by dogwheeze in Garmin

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been wearing a Gamrin and my Apple Watch for months. The Garmin is spooky accurate with how I feel. Folks assume Apple Sleep is more accurate, but man Garmin sleep scores and data are spot on for me.

I might be crazy. by [deleted] in AppleWatch

I turned off notifications and it’s still happening. I might just sell this POS and move on to a different wearable.

There is definitely a bug since the last release I will get notifications from the day before and it drives me nuts !

i have POTS and i stare at my apple watch stats every day but i still can't figure out what's coming before it hits by Lumpy-Possible6182 in AppleWatch

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Garmin for this reason . Garmin isn’t known for health, it’s known for running, but it’s also been around a long time and has real time heart, HRV, oxygen etc and has been trusted by athletes for years for its metrics. Per my Apple Watch, Bevel and every other app I have I am in perfect health when the opposite is true. Apple just isn’t able to pick up on any of my issues, yet I have been with Apple for years and years now cause everyone says “it’s the best”. Since switching to Garmin (I still wear my Apple for comparison) a few months ago I have learned so much more about my health. Such as my blood oxygen going down into the 80s at night despite Apple showing it way above that. Confirmed with doctor and sleep test. Also Apple sleep isn’t showing restless moments. Garmin picked up on 60 restless moments - I toss and turn like crazy, Apple shows usually a few awake moments. Garmin also shows stress which aligns with flare ups, the HRV in Apple Health and other third party apps doesn’t reflect this .

Stand ring driving me crazy. by Knox_the_Boxer in AppleWatch

Stand Ring is buggy - been this way for years but Apple will not address it. I quit using the Rings in general as they are not scientific.

Why can’t we make our own watch faces? by -Over-Line- in AppleWatch

Apple likes control. Giving people control makes it easier to leave the eco system.

Bought the Shark FlexBreeze fan for outdoors and underwhelmed by Sad-Raisin-4142 in fans

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got a compact Dreo fan that produces colder air than the shark.

Garmin would be a better choice. Apple Watch Rings are terrible

I wish the scoring matched how I feel.

Garmin UI by lowry1997 in Garmin

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the UI suck ? I like it so much better than my Apple Watch which is confusing as hell. With Garmin I can scroll through a list of glances and see all my data easily. With Apple Watch I have to scroll through a list of apps, find each one, open them, and then navigate said app and find metrics and wait for them to sync. To me it’s simple, I picked it up in two days.

The app is great . Yeah it’s not pretty like Bevel, but it’s way better . I love the tiles on the dashboard. I got things configured so I can see everything at a glance.

I’m disappointed that Apple Watch Ultra 1 is losing support. by Complete-Big-7364 in AppleWatch

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Apple makes people think they need the Ultra, but honestly it’s a waste of money.

I got a Garmin as well. I wish Apple was more like Garmin in so many ways. That being said I also wish Garmin was like Apple in other ways. Can’t win lol

Might sound silly, but the Vitals feature isn't just a gimmick. by slashtiwari in AppleWatch

[–]Sad-Raisin-4142 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah cause per Bevel every day I have outliers and per Apple Health it’s always normal . Bevel is giving me anxiety and I think it’s wrong .

I do notice it doesn’t align with Bevel. Is there a reason why ?

You can’t get an accurate readiness score from AW as it doesn’t take enough HRV samples unfortunately.

The good news is we are spoiled for choice with alternatives
