Fenix 6X Sapphire 100% of my life except to charge.
Hell yeah bro. Garmin crew!!!!! I have the 5X Sapphire - purchased in 2018, still going strong. I never take it off - I want all the data.
Agreed. One of my favorite pieces of tech - love getting the activity history and HR data. It's actually amazing how sensitive my HR and sleep quality is to alcohol - seeing the data line up to how I'm feeling has led to me cutting back meaningfully, which I view as a good thing.
I'm probably going to stick with the 6X and see what they cram into the 8X, though the Epix also seems nice.
This is it right here. So many things I never cared about before (steps, sleep, stress, etc.) that I track now. Also has led to performance increases across various sports
I guess if you wanted to wear a nice watch during the day, you could get a Whoop on the other arm to obtain data.
Do you use whoop? I’ve seen some video but havent pulled the trigger yet since I have a AW.
I don't use Whoop as I have a Garmin fenix, but my ex girlfriend used to use Whoop as she didn't have a smart watch.
I use a Whoop (with a regular watch on the other hand). I like it, but have never used any other smart watch/tracker so can’t really compare. But I find the data to be highly interesting and makes me be more conscious about lifestyle choices.
Don't wear watches at all. I just use my phone for anything a smartwatch does.
Your phone can't track calories, HR, sleep, or PulseOx...............
Not as specifically, and I simply don't care to know that deep. I can calculate calories on the phone if I wanted to. My fingers can track my HR whenever I need figure that out. The phone can track your sleep and sleeping with a watch just sounds extremely uncomfortable to me. As for PulseOX, if my CSAT is dropping below 90-93 for some reason I'll be noticing and if it's that bad the phone has this wonderful thing called dialling 911.
I wear a smart watch ZERO !!!! percent of the time. ANALog only!
I use a nice analog, a great talking piece. Has helped in conversations with clients and investors in conferences. But I am also a health nut and track all my activity and sleep with the OURA ring. Highly recommend if you want to use your nice watch and track your health at the same time.
Wow that's a great idea. Which finger do you wear it on?
I am not married, so I use it on my right index finger. Color matches the watch so it is also stylish. Great way to track your sleep too (never enough).
I wear old school mechanical watches. Not smart watch or health trackers for me. Seems like overkill (and I’m big into fitness), but I know some people love it
Apple Watch nearly every day. Looking at getting a nicer piece.
Anyone have insights on the TAG Aquaracer 200? Known it's blown up in style in recent years. Have never been a watch guy, but I think it's a piece that would suit me. The pricepoint is fairly good, and I think it's something that I could wear occasionally for the rest of my life as something that's not 'in-your-face', which is my style.
My dad has that watch (or else a very similar Tag). I agree it’s not an “in your face” type watch which I also like. He made his career in operations in an industrial/manufacturing sector so he’s not as driven to get the flashier watches. It’s a nice watch and I really like it, seems like a great option for people not wanting to break the bank
Garmin!!!
I had an Apple Watch for quite a while and tried the Ultra recently. Really liked it. But in the end decided to send the Ultra back and sell the others (I had two, alu + ss).
It got to a point where I'd obsess over closing the rings everyday and I didn't need the additional stress lol. Now I just wear my Fenix 7 for sports and otherwise a Junghans Maxbill. Though I am looking to get a daily driver. The TAG the poster mentioned above looks pretty tempting. Otherwise prob an Omega. We'll see.
My daily watch is not a smart watch, it's either my Flightmaster or my G-Shock (my dream watch is an Omega Seamaster). I wear a Garmin GPS Forerunner watch for running, and another Garmin for golf (this is a gamechanger guys!).
I really don't like smartwatches... almost to the level of despising them.
I wear a fairly normal Tissot PRS 200 (silver). It's not that expensive, but it looks nice and professional. I much prefer this to any type of 'fancy' smartwatch on the market.
I've tried all the different ways.... Apple watch 24/7, Apple watch + Whoop strap, just the Whoop, and a Grand Seiko SBGA407.
I like my Apple watch to make sure I track steps each day, but in the workplace I find it extremely distracting with all the notices from texts and apps coming through. The whoop was great but I wish it tracked steps as well. Definitely more comfortable than the Apple Watch for sleeping (I've tried a variety of straps on the Apple). A simple dress watch always looks great and for those who care, it becomes a great talking point.
If anyone is new into a workplace, I would likely not wear an Apple Watch due to the distractions it creates. That being said, I found the Whoop's data on my health to be more accurate than the Apple.... you are not burning as many calories as you think you are with your workouts, and I think Whoop does a good job calling it what it really is.
Just turn off your notifications on your watch. I have mine disabled.
Thought about that, but still felt tempted to be checking. Better without it at start.
So jealous of people who can do the smartwatch thing. I feel like it looks out of place on me.
Some days I’ll wear my Apple Watch, other days my Datejust. I’m not obsessed with my heart rate so I don’t need it to be tracked all the time.
I tried an Oura ring as I was having trouble sleeping for a while and apparently the Oura sleep tracking was supposed to be better than any watches / bands. I found it didn’t work well at all - I would get good 80%+ sleep scores during terrible nights of sleep (tossing and turning and waking up a lot) and didn’t find significant variability in my score when drinking a lot and sleeping less as a result (for example). If a crap night of sleep where I’m a zombie the next day yields a score that the ring considers “good” and an actual decent night of sleep is a couple single digit points higher then that’s not good data in my opinion.
