Nice review

What is the consensus about healbe gobe3
Are fitness watches worth it?
Really thinking about getting garmin venu sq for my birthday next month. But im not workout person you think it's worth it anyways? It's my first smart watch
Thank you.
Is there a fitness tracker that can connect to my Polar chest strap and then beep at me when I hit both a high and low HR I program in?
Hello how may i contact you regarding a new product of mine for an unboxing and review?
Your poor shoulders.
To much generalization. Need someone who has tested actual battery and features.
The 4 series from Samsung isnβt compatible at all with the iPhone. All the previous Samsung watches are. First time because of wear OS it wonβt work.
Hey Lexi. I really want to change my Fitbit charge 4. I really like the galaxy watch 4 classic but I'm afraid that the 46mm one will be too big. I really like the physical rotating bezel. Can you give me some advice.
This lady likes to wear a smartwatch on both wrists. What is her name?
nise
If I buy a watch, it won't be those prices to do same as smartphone. There are better options for just little features a watch should only do, and use smartphone for the rest.
These are not for budget people. Cost just as much as a smartphone. What is the point of a smartphone, if you have a watch that cost $400 plus, that does same thing? Prefer to have just one for that cost, a smartphone.
You are soooo pretty ! I still cant decide on a watch i want..lol
apple watch just kills it on all fronts id go with that
In my experience, the best wearable under $200 is hands-down Fitbit
I found it really funny at at 1:07 her Apple Watch had Siri going
Very in-depth review. Thank you for taking the time to provide your audience with enough information to make a decision.
I'm desperatly looking for a smartwatch that can measure Blood pressure but cannot find One that Is reviewed!
I don't know about anyone else, but personally I prefer basic features and like 1.5 week battery life vs tons of features and a 1 or 2 day battery. We already have a phone, why would you want to constantly worry about a dead smart watch if you can just do a lot of the more advanced features on your phone already.
thankyou!
I love how expensive some of these are and they still think it's okay to charge you a monthly fee to unlock a feature that you already should have
Thanks!
I have the Garmin Fenix 6s and not impressed π I'm thinking about going back too fitbit and I love the solid black with vibrant colors. I'm looking into Versa 3 or Venu 2 π€
what about
Amazfit GTS (1 to 3), Amazfit GTR and T-rex
Which tracker/smart watch shows Blood Pressure?
why amazfit 3 pro not here?
No Amazon Halo View?
$50? With 1 year Halo membership? Come on! π
Love Apple Watch in Space Gray Version look so beautiful black fits everything πππ
Why was ticwatch pro 3 left out?
Samsung Galaxy watch 4 is the best to me. Love the rotating bezel and style
Let's get real. Nobody and I mean nobody needs to be connected 24/7. All in for fitness metrics but it's not healthy to feel like you can't be offline for a 1 hour workout. Especially if it's in your own free time. Company time maybe. Even so. Jeeeeez
Hellllllllllep ….can you pleeeeeease give me some advice …i hv omg fitbit charge 2 …yessss im one of those who doesnt buy a new till itsdied ..π€£ and this now is not working as well strap broken blah blah but i need a new one …i only do ballet as my workouts and of course just the general racing around doing all of lifes chore … which tracker would you recommend ….i dont want pricy but obviously want a good alrounder …so confused as so many reviews differ …either way im up for a new one …plus hv android phone ….fingers crossed you can suggest something …ππππππππ©°π©°π©°
No Tic Watch 3 Pro & Fossil Gen 6???
I have a bad experience with Garmin for sleep tracking.
Why is every damn company is moving towards a subscription? If we buy a device we should be able to use all of its features, otherwise we don't own it. After the right to repair, should we start another campaign called the right to own?
Had a Galaxy S2, pretty junk. Died in less than 2 years. Gps and hr were garbage. Tried a Fitbit but couldn't get past the horrible, onerous software. Worst software activation ever and the device cannot be used without the phone app. I've been using a polar for years and just got a polar unite 2. Much, much better than the Galaxy.
Garmin doesn't have ECG, blood pressure monitor or that other thing on the Samsung
Unfortunately Garmin watch doesn't have wear OS so no music
Had the Apple Watch series 6 for a year and came to hate it. The app display is terrible. Itβs shocking you can remove all the apps you donβt use. The battery life sucks. I had to charge it every night. Also, if I did a significantly long activity, I would run out of battery before the end of the day. There are many other reasons I came to dislike. But Iβve gone back to Garmin with the Fenix 6 Pro and itβs so much better.
Apply watch is a benchmark!! Really not sure about that
You really forgot the huawei band 6 which actually a heck of a band
