Does fitbit inspire 3 have calorie burnt tracker.. like you have set a certain goal to burn your calories and it tells you how much you burned? Pls reply. Thank you!
The Mi Band 7 is exceptionally good for it's price .
hi nicole, how are you? hope you had an awesome christmas.
What about xiaomi Band 7 Pro?
I tested different smartwatch this year. The Galaxy Watch 5. The Google Pixel Watch and right now the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition. I really like the Pixel Watch. But the battery life sucksā¦ā¦.. And Fitbit premium is a little bit overpriced for me. Galaxy Watch 5 has so many health tracking features, that is nice. What I noticed: during my fitness training, if I use Samsung Health, it stops tracking the heart rate sometimes. I have the same problem with the Galaxy watch 4. The Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition, I have the rose golden version, itās my favorite so far when we talk about the design. It has the look of a classic watch. Itās absolutely beautiful ā¤. Since Fossil updated there gen 6 models to wear so 3, the battery drains so fast. And my wellness edition has some bugs. Fossil said, we will fix all the bugs in future updates. So far there fixed a lot. Major downside: no Google Assistent yet. But Amazon Alexa. Using Alexa uses so much battery. And to load, activate Alexa takes such a long time. Not really useful. Amazon needs to update their App. And the calories tracking, heart rate tracking during a workout is pretty inaccurate. I think this can be fixed with an update.
My smartwatch of the year is the Pixel watch. Nice design. Nice fitness tracking features. Super fast Google Assistant. Poor battery life š¢.
If you want a smartwatch with a gorgeous design, get the Fossil gen 6 wellness edition. Iām in love ā¤.
Thanks for a great video.
Wish everyone happy holidays and merry Christmas ā¤.
Great video!
You look like mešššÆ
I never understood the point of fitness trackers when you can't even take it to your doctor as it has no useful information whatsoever.
Mi Band 7 and Garmin watch and Samsung also.
I have the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Love the design and build and it has all the apps I need. Wouldāve have been very interested in the Apple Watch Ultra but not in my budget.
If you're obese, your belt is the most cost effective fitness tracker gadget. Otherwise, your times or your lifts are the most cost effective fitness trackers. For better composition, make sure you lift more. You want more detail, use 2 fingers to count your pulse for fifteen seconds and times by 4. HRMax 220- your age. 50%-79% general cardio, HIIT 80%+. But you know when you are in your HIIT zone because you tank fast unless you stop for recovery. Work the figures out once, and they'll do you for the best part of a decade! They're only approximations anyway. No battery, screen or OS required. It's free.
Love you Lexy!
Huawei Band 7 it's quite amazing for the price, I've been using there bands for couples years and they are amazing value for the money
Well those days was using sony liveview aka semi āsmartā watch, got a Amazfit 1, now series 2 Nike Apple watch, didnāt goes back to any android base watches after that. So far apple watch is the gold standard in smart watch imo
Withings ScanWatch for me, all the usual health tracking with a classic analogue clock face. Goes for weeks on a single charge too!
how can it be??? where was the Casio ?
Try the northedge
Garmin Venu 2 plus takes a lot of beating. It's not perfect but it is great for exercise tracking, not bad for sleep tracking and has an incredible battery life. The Fitbit series is OK, especially for sleep tracking, but I think the best value of the bunch is the Charge 4, which does record floors (unlike the 5). i've also tried the Pixel watch but this disappoints with its small size and poor battery life.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus or the Apple watch SE 2022?? i do both running and cycling but i do have a garmin bike computer. i dont text or reply to texts on my watch (currently using series 3 ). Any suggestions are welcome. !! Thank You šš
still rocking amazfit! the battery life to awesome
I wish you could carry or pin a smart tracker instead of wearing it as a watch. Its a pain to carry a phone when you want to track your steps.
My favorite peice of tech, that has lasted multiple years is the Pebble smartwatch. I owned the Pebble Time Steel for 7 years and it does the main thing most people want from a smart watch. Yes I have bought newer technology, but only to go back to the Pebble. BTW gets around 8 days of battery life.
Samsung need better watch handles like apple or pixel
Amazfit GTR4 is the watch to get. Price, look, functionality, look no further.
I love the look of the pixel watch. I wish it was worth getting.
Fitbit Sense 2 really had a lot of bugs in the UI smoothed out in the recent update.
I would love if you could cover which of these watches work with CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitors) for diabetics. This would be a killer, must have, app if it would pair to an CGM arm sensor. The two mainstream CGM devices today are Dexcom and Freestyle Libre.
Great video we miss your pretty face āŗļø
Lexi Iām stuck. I hike in the mountains and used my Apple Watch 7 and it died right at the end of the hike. I love topo maps and looked at getting Garmin. However, canāt I just look at a topo map from my phone? If so, thereās no need for me to get a Garmin because the HR tracking isnāt as accurate as Galaxy or Apple Watch. If so, what hiking apps would you recommend?
I went from series 3 to apple watch ultra and itās absolutely amazing, and the battery life lasts two days!
No mention of Fit Bit Sense 2? Is it THAT bad?
Iāll save everybody time – Apple Watch series 8 or Ultra. Your welcome.
Still rocking a Pebble 2 HR and proud of it. Battery life is almost a week. Screen is always on. I hope you will consider this aspect in future reviews.. the joy of "buttons" on a smartwatch! This may be a personal preference, but I prefer buttons to a touch screen. And I think I am not the only one.
my apple watch series 3 broke so the day before the series 8 was announced I got the 7 for $100 off and I do not regret it one bit. I got the bigger size and can actually see the GPS on the watch as I drive or see who sent a message without looking away from the road at all. With pretty much ever battery draining feature on and a 3 hour work out fully tracked and worn through out the night I get a whole 24 hours out of it and since it supports fast charging it only charges for an hour at most while I shower and its back at 90%. (I keep my watch between 15-90% charged). I recommend it but if you do not need the always on screen and the other higher end features the SE is an amazing watch. I have a friend who ownes one and after playing with it for a bit I know I would be more than happy if it was my only option.
I have the Garmin 955 and love it but itās more of a runners watch that does everything else as a bonus.
haven't worn a watch in decades but like the idea of a watch for tracking walks without lugging my phone
No hybrid smartwatches? They have great battery life and do the basics well.
Lexy gets the clicky
Get a Galaxy Watch 4 if you don't want to spend a ton of money and you're on Android
I don't like wearing my watch when I'm sleeping. Sleep tracking is a useless feature for me but the step counting, blood oxygen, and the heart rate monitor, and being able to check my phone is what I need. Plus, I'm kinda too deep into the Apple ecosystem. Yes I know I'm a sucker. So I'm probably going to get an Apple Watch. Yes I know, I'm a sucker. lol
