Garmin

Good and affordable entry level fitness tracker

reduced functionality compared to other trackers. But great value for money

Fitness tracker

Works very well tracking an exercise like cycling, running, swimming etc. The calculation of VO2max is good.
Connectivity with the phone works very well.

The stationary features like cycling on a bike or running on a treadmill are somewhat off when it comes to distance tracking.

Tracking my exercise and training for half-marathons and full marathons.

- Features on the watch, mostly around the activities I do

- Low accuracy on sleep

- Track my progress on sport

- 2 week battery life is the major pro
- strong wristband (lost an Apple watch in open water with the standard sport wristband which was major reason to switch to Garmin)
- appears more durable than Apple watches

- UI/UX of display and software is inferior to Apple's and not very intuitive
- display quite dark at times (hence long battery life)

This is Fenix 6. Goal: smartwatch with a focus on activity and sleep tracking

The OG wearable. I use the Garmin 245 Music, and love it
Long battery life - usually lasts me 5-6 days and I workout at least 1.5 hrs / day
Only has what you need
My version was pretty affordable for what I get

It is terrible at pacing my treadmill running
The HR feature is not amazing, I have to use an ECG if I want it to be accurate

Running.

- Perfect watch for runners
- Great app, with lots of information
- Very customisable display design during training
- The battery lasts 7-10 days (depending on the mode)
- Very lightweight watch
- Display is resistant to scratches
- Excellent GPS

- Offers only basic smartwatch functions. No comparison to the Apple Watch
- The watch reacts very sensitively. Constantly starts something by mistake
- Individual charging cable, which you should always have with you if you are on holiday for longer than 5 days
- High price
- I personally find the watch view rather ugly. There are also not many customisation options
- External apps are difficult to install if you want to install paid apps, as the payment process is complex. In general, additional apps are not really good.
