On the other side of things. I’m super happy that garmin watches don’t have more smartwatch capabilities. Their laser focus on sports wearable is what keeps them massively competitive there and keeps me on weeks of battery life instead of hours of battery life
I totally understand that. They look perfect for their target market.
As far as I know, they’re the only wearable that does realtime stroke/length tracking for swimming, which is really cool. If I was more serious about exercise, that’d be the perfect
excusereason to buy one.That’s exactly why I have my Garmin Descent.
It’s a dive computer, with basic smart watch features like notifications and general health tracking which are the only ones I need.
I happily paid 1k for it.
I’ve got an OG Garmin vivoactive. Besides the naming bullshit of this being vivoactive and there now being a “vivoactive 1”, it’s great. It’s a sidegrade to thebpebble, which I never thought I’d find. So now I just swap between this and the pebble when the mood suits me.
Love Garmin smartwatches.
I’ve been wondering what to get when my beloved Pebble dies. Good to know!
Check out the pebble communities online though, even the subreddit. There’s new batteries you can get, and guides to repair. Barring that, there’s always someone looking for even dead pebbles.
I’m leaning this direction because I don’t really use any smart features in my watch. Just my fitness shit.
Any recommendations on Garmin watches for a guy who likes to bike/bike but not crazy sports level enthusiast?
Whichever one you like the look of and is cheap. Garmin watches are just divided into styling and features. If you don’t need specific features you can just get the cheapest one that fits your styling.
I started out with a vivomove because I liked the hybrid look (real watch hands) and only needed basic health stuff. Did notifications which is all I really care about for smart stuff.
