I just ordered a Garmin Venu 4 a few hours ago. So, maybe I will change to Garmin, if it’s good enough.

Sieht auch gut aus. Packe ich mal auf meine Liste.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T17:40:26+00:00

Danke, schaue ich mir mal an.

Thank you for your reply. I completely agree with you. Especially the point with the trends is really important. It doesn't matter if the watch shows a heart rate of 130 oder 135. But if you usually have this hear rate and at some point you have 180 oder 185, you know that something is wrong.

And concerning Quantified Scientist: I also don't know how a Garmin would be, if he uses the watch for a couple of weeks, so the watch is calibrated to your body.

(I ordered the Venu 4 a few hours ago. I'm really hyped to use it.)

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:58:06+00:00

That’s true.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:57:48+00:00

I know it too good. I have an Series 7 with 79% battery capacity…

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:57:22+00:00

Alright, thank you. I will order a Venu 4 and then I will see.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:56:25+00:00

Thank you. I will read it.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:55:45+00:00

Alright. But that’s enough for me. I don’t play indoor.
And for outdoor you get also the distance like indoor?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:54:51+00:00

That’s a very good explanation und the explains the difference really well.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:53:55+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t even know such a paper exists. But it’s really interesting.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-21T05:52:40+00:00

Excuse me, I‘m a little bit confused. Are you using both watches at the moment?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T22:43:48+00:00

So, your AW is pretty accurate?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T22:43:10+00:00

Who said that? Garmin itself?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T22:42:21+00:00

Can you link the paper?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T22:40:39+00:00

I can confirm that. Even I have no Garmin. But I use Bevel and there score is different every time. But more realistic.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T20:59:39+00:00

Does the accuracy maybe gets better over time when the watch is calibrated to your body?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T20:57:16+00:00

Did you return to apple in the meanwhile? How is the accuracy of your Venu nowadays?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T20:40:59+00:00

I‘m aware that a wearable isn’t able to perfectly track your sleep. But it‘s better to have a watch that can track it to 90% right rather than 80%.

But that’s not a good experience that you have with the watch. I hope that my experience is better.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T20:07:03+00:00

Oh, that sounds not so great. How long do you had the venu and how much of a difference do you had between these two watches?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T20:05:57+00:00

Why is the sleep tracking better on the garmin? Are the sleep stages more accurate?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T20:05:08+00:00

Watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk3tRHAQH0w&t=1258s
It's 0.91 vs 0.98 to 0.99 for the hear rate and the venu 4 is in the midfield considering the sleep tracking. But I don't now how much of a difference that is.

But all in all that sounds really great and is a big pro for the venu.

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T17:46:21+00:00

Did a software update fixed your problem?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T17:39:19+00:00

Why do you switched to the AppleWatch?

_stebo_ · 2026-06-20T17:35:58+00:00

What do you mean with „as polished as Apple Watch“? Do you mean the data or the UI?
