Apple Watch

I’ve just switched from Fitbit to a garmin Venu 2s, after being adamant I was getting an Apple Watch. from reviews it seemed like a great option, with much better battery life and so far I am absolutely loving it. Worth considering unless you’re dead set on apple only

Same, I just did not want to be charging my phone and my iPad and my watch every night! The Garmin charges really fast too.

I’ve had my Apple Watch a few months now, previously I had a fit bit. What do you find most useful on your Apple Watch? Originally when I got it I thought I was the bees knees but I’m beginning to think the fit bit did more, so thought I’d ask so I’d investigate how to best use it

Has anyone gone from an Apple Watch 3 to the current one (6 is it?). I’m thinking of getting a new one sometime soon but don’t know if the 6 is worth the extra money or if I just stick with the 3?
I don’t assume the battery life is that much better?

Yeah the battery life on Apple Watches are crap. I am pretty much charging mine every morning now. A fitbit I could go ages before having to charge it again!

I was given a series 1 years ago and always said I wouldn’t replace it when planned obsolescence came for it because they’re too expensive... lo and behold I’ve now got a new series 4 on my wrist as I couldn’t bear the thought of being without it.

I think there’s a cheaper version now with fewer features, it really depends what you want from it. If you’re going to use all the bells and whistles for fitness then it’s probably worth it.

I’ve had one for Christmas, I do love it but I miss the battery of the Fitbit. My watch died during a run last night and it proper pissed me off

I generally love my Apple Watch but I really miss the heart rate metrics from Fitbit - particularly when I was pregnant. I also prefer the sleep tracker to the apps that are available in iOS.

I think on the Apple website you can see a comparison of them. The series 3 would be more than adequate but it does depend what you want it for. I think they’re well worth the money I couldn’t be without mine now.

I have a Garmin venu sq. it looks a lot like an Apple Watch but the battery life is much better.I only have to charge it every 5 days or so. I’m very happy with it and I am usually Apple all the way! It’s worth checking out Garmin watches.
